(again, filling in for fair while he's on vacation/working on his bucket list).

Some days, it's a challenge to find anyone to send greetings to. Other days, like today, the cup runneth over, so to speak. ;)

Our first greetings go out to a lady that Mr. Gambit enjoyed on the big screen in films such as The Bachelor Party, King Creole, A Hole in the Head, Last Train from Gun Hill, and How The West Was Won. Mr. Gambit also enjoyed her numerous appearances on TV shows, and never missed the TV show where she earned her greatest fame playing Morticia Addams, on The Addams Family. Mr. Gambit had a number of names for her, but to her fans she was known as Carolyn Jones.

Our next greetings go out to a lady that started her career as a singer, but who is most known for her acting career as well as her looks. Her break-out performance was in Bye Bye Birdie. She went on to appear in Viva Las Vegas, The Cincinnati Kid, The Swinger, Carnal Knowledge, Tommy, Grumpy Old Men, and The Break-Up. She was born as Ann-Margret Olsson, but to fair and her fans she was known simply as Ann-Margret.

Our next greetings go out to a lady that was born in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Mr. Gambit enjoyed her wok on TV and also on the big screen. Her breakthrough performance was as Stands WIth A Fist, in Dances with Wolves. She's also appeared in Matewan, Passion Fish, Grand Canyon, Independence Day, and Donnie Darko. Most recently, she's starred on TV in The Closer, and then in Major Crimes. She's the closest in today's greetings to Mr. Gambit's beloved girl-next-door look. The lovely Mary McDonnell.

I appreciate both Ann-Margret and Jessica Alba displaying some of their finer points! I'm sure fair (I call him "fair!") would be proud of your efforts today.

You and Illi are right about the cup(s) running over, but we'd be doing Mr gambit (I sometimes call him that) a disservice by leaving out the famous for one book author and girl-next-door Harper Lee (she's closer to all the GND to me, anyhow!). To anyone who calls for a flag, Google her.....
 
Excellent Tom. Our flight is later in the day so I am still in Pittsburgh, watching my wife try to fit her entire wardrobe into one suitcase.:)
One more I will add while I have a moment is yet another girl next door, Marcia Strassman of "Welcome Back Kotter" fame, who was born on this day in 1948 and, sadly died in 2014 of breast cancer. Rest in Peace Marcia. The memory of your beauty and charm lingers on.

Would you leave already!
 
More importantly, today is my birthday, too. Should I post a pic of me in my Speedo??? Will I get flagged now for not posting a pic?

And I share my birthday with Saddam Hussein........:eek:

A nice addition, fair. I did consider her, but between the 20 image limit in a post, and my having trouble finding nice pics of her, she didn't make it into my post.

Since I can get around the 20 image limit in a reply, allow me to take this opportunity to send birthday greetings out to two more ladies.

Our first greetings go out to a lady that a young Mr. Gambit was reportedly a big fan of. He first noticed her in the Three Stooges film, I Can Hardly Wait. He went on to enjoy her in other films like Call of the South Seas, Faces in the Fog, Girls of the Big House, The Inner Circle, Sands of Iowa Jima, California Passage, Angel in Exile, and Count the Hours. She was born as Adelaida Delgado, but to fair and friends she was known as Adele Mara.

Our next greetings go out to a lady that Mr. Gambit has enjoyed on a number of TV shows. She's best known for her recurring roles on Angel, Law & Order, Heroes, Stalker, and The Last Ship. She also appeared on the big screen in American Hustle. The lovely Elisabeth Rohm.

Jessica Alba is hot but is such a bad actress.

Execrable would be a good description of her skills
 
Alba may be the biggest tease in Hollywood history. The only 'stripper with a heart of gold' who never actually stripped.

Ms. Rohm has always ranked top tier on The Rush Chairman's Wreck Wish List. However, I should point out that in the last 5 years she has starred in box movies smash hits such as...
