Sigh...I now know that I was one of a million 70's kids who was in love with her.

The wheels may be smaller than you think, not 700c or 27", which would require a taller head tube or handlebar stem (my 20" wheel folding bike has a very short head tube, but a handlepost (stem) almost a couple feet long); Also slack geometry, which lengthens the head tube just a bit. That looks perhaps to be a historical bike, single speed, especially since, with that building in the background, the photo may have been taken at Greenfield Village (along with Henry Ford Museum, an inside and outside historical museum), which also has the Wright Cycle shop.

I was always drawn toward Jan...when the show was nearing the end, she was hotter than Marsha...Marsha,Marsha,Marsha!

I believe it used to be an even narrower range than that. It had to do with how prohibitively expensive it was to have multiple sized spacesuits, cockpit fittings etc. Easier to make everything "one size fits all" and share than to individualize. I was pretty bummed to learn I was too tall to be an astronaut or fighter pilot. :thumb:

Now, it is a little different. I am pretty sure Mike Massimo is 6'04" (which is my height.) His bio says 6'03" but at a speaking engagement, he mentioned his height with talking about some of his challenges in certain parts of the ISS. Bathroom stuff in particular...

He legitimately creeped me out in The Night of the Hunter. Didn't know he rode. Extra coolness.

Charles Laughton had a hand in that. The only film he directed. How's that for a mic drop?

I like Elliott Gould. But maybe because he's in Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye. Here he is with James Caan in something completely different...

It's a beautiful, classic film. That underwater scene of Shelley Winters is unforgettable.. Shame Mr. Laughton wasn't with us longer.

He had quite a range- very evident in the Winds Of War, and to a lesser extent, War and Remembrance.
Nailed the villain bit in Cape Fear.

Note the drop bar shape and style on his bike. Some things just stay cool.

Such a little gem!
We owe her a lot, not only for laughs- she took on (as head of Desilu) Roddenberry, and Star Trek, when no one else would touch it.
Speaking of which, SNW is quite a worthwhile watch. :D
