Connie and Bobby

Good evening, all, and Happy Thanksgiving!

My Bobby passion has not waned in the least, by the way.  However, I am having the absolute worst time these days finding "new" information to dish out to y'all or write about.  I guarantee there are other things out there I haven't seen, but for now, they're still in hiding and I haven't had the time to dig extra, super hard.

So just to let you know I'm still here and still looking, I'm going to share this image I found on WorthPoint not long ago.  It was actually sold on eBay back in March, and I could throat punch myself for having not seen it then.  Someone did buy it -- AND the accompanying pictures that were much too far away to get a good look at.  I can only hope it was the person who owns the website, because that means she might show them off at some point, and we'll have way better copies to look at than this one!

This is from Party Crashers.  I think it's supposed to be a romantic interchange between Connie Stevens' character and Bobby's, even though there are a couple of things that strike me about it.  Firstly, Bobby doesn't exactly wear a dazzled expression, and actually appears to be looking a little above Connie's face.  Secondly, Connie looks way more like she's about to choke him than that she's giving a loving caress, and the expression on her face only enhances that notion.  I know that in this movie, her character was certainly written as one who wears the pants in the relationship, and maybe that's meant to translate into this image as well.

But still, Bobby.  His eyelashes look very sweet here, and I'm sure it's due to makeup.  I'm an eyelash aficionado, so I always notice these things.  For all of Bobby's adorable features, I have to say I don't usually regard him as having long, thick lashes.  They're certainly not short and thin, but they don't particularly pop, either.  However, there have been some great pictures that do showcase them better than others, and this is certainly one.

Don't you wonder if Bobby knew what a terrible movie Party Crashers was?  It's generally agreed upon that the script was lousy, and his character was a total bore.  I believe that that's the impression we were supposed to have of Josh Bickford, and not any lack of quality acting on Bobby's part.  After all, we've seen his perfect success at being saucy for his Billy Chance character in Rawhide.  He did deliver some smoldering stare-downs with Mark Damon, my personal favorite being when he not only loaned him a cigarette, but followed it up by lighting it for him, too.

If you haven't watched this yet, go to YouTube.  And heck, download it to your computer.  At the rate Bobby stuff remains so unavailable and is taken down quite often, I aim to save all this for myself.  The Rawhide videos have been taken down a number of times already, and last I checked, the only copies you can find of Incident of Fear in the Streets and Incident of the Captive have been altered quite a bit to save a copyright infringement.

Now here's what you can do!  Leave me a comment telling me if there's anything you'd like me to discuss next on this blog.  It can be a personal topic about Bobby (though nothing too intrusive), or a commentary of some of his work.  During these lean times, I'd love to have some feedback!
