Beatrice Arthur, or Bea for short, star of the 70s sitcom Maude and the 80s series The Golden Girls died Saturday, April 25. She was 86. Arthur died peacefully at her Los Angeles home with her family at her side. She had cancer.
We know her as Dewey’s babysitter in the episode 1×16 Water Park, which won her an American Comedy Award and an Emmy nomination. VC member Rich put together the above tribute video with clips from Water Park. Thanks Rich!
Twitter is the hot social networking, microblogging and messaging website that has just hit the big time in recent months. We’ve had a Twitter account (@MITM) for about a year. For those who aren’t down with the Twitter, you essentially post short 140 character messages and people ‘follow’ you so they can see your latest updates, see this short ‘In Plain English‘ video for a good introduction.
In the last month both Frankie Muniz (@frankiemuniz) and Chris Masterson (@CKMasterson) have joined giving you updates on their lives. I can confirm that these are the real people and not fakes. As well as simply giving general updates you can @username people and chat directly with them. Frankie and Chris have been having short conversations with followers which is great, we love to see this interaction with the fans. They also carry iPhones and Frankie has been using the Tweetie app to post pictures.
I saw these Cubee Craft models and just had to make one for Malcolm. Ok, it’s not the best cartoon of Malcolm, maybe I’ll work on making it better, but I think its pretty good. You can download the template print it on a normal sized piece of paper, cut and fold, no glue or tape needed! Or get the plain template from here and make your own MITM character. If you do, post it in the FORUM!
As we did with Frankie on his Birthday lets bring up something from Justin’s past. Back in 2004 when Justin was only 17 he appeared on the TV show Player$ (Barenaked Players, Season 3, Episode 1) – He plays XBOX with friends Joe and Logan, talks about his gaming past and a dare they got Erik to do on set.
Originally titled Parental Guidance Suggested, Extreme Movie is the very long awaited movie co-starring Frankie as Chuck, that he filmed a few years ago. In December it was shown in select theatres and finally its out on DVD. The film is a series of loosely related scenes, Frankie only appears in the scene before the opening credits. Its a pretty funny scene full of sex, sheep, gimps, Nazis, babies, mice, midgets and Frankie in his underwear! Watch his whole scene above.
For some really strange reason there is still no normal trailer, however they have produced two tie in websites with ‘viral’ marketing and video clips – STD e-cards & Abraham Sex. Neither feature Frankie.
See screen caps from the movie in our GALLERY. Hardcore MITM fans will notice a short scene with our very own Meagen Fay who played Gretchen Mannkusser of the Grotto.
Dresses (including Jane’s) from the show are being auctioned off by Jane’s charity Clothes Off Our Back. We have also decided to make Clothes Off Our Back the first official MITMVC charity. So go bid on something and help improve the lives of children across the globe.
I haven’t met her yet, but Susan Lucci’s over there. You know, I was nominated seven consecutive times for the Emmy and never won, so people always say, “Oh, you’re like Susan Lucci!” She may be the shortest person here, and I may be the tallest, but other than that, we have a lot in common!
Last month Jane attended a concert in celebration of Barack Obama’s inauguration featuring Carole King, Yolanda Adams, BeBe Winans, and the Dartmouth College choir.
At the start of this year we gave you the chance to ask Frankie Muniz (Malcolm) a question. Thanks to our members there was a great response and Frankie has kindly taken the time to answer as many as he could. He also recorded a special thank you video (above) just for us! That is super awesome Frankie!
As the video confirms Frankie has recently set-up official Myspace and Facebook pages. The thank you video can be found on both these pages.
