    Silly fun fact about 2 actresses

    Ok, I found this fun. Maybe a few of you will too.

    Actress Susan Dey played on an old 60s show called the Partridge Family.
    Turns out, they offerred it to Dey after Olivia Newton-John declined.

    A few years later, they were casting for that old musical called Grease.
    Turns out they offerred it to Newton-John after Susan Dey declined.

    I think they were both beautiful women in their own ways. But the roles thing was interesting.

    How about a fun fact about a couple of actors?

    James Arness and Peter Graves were brothers.

    Leslie Nielson (Naked Gun & sequels) had a brother Eric, who went on to become a Canadian politician.
    It was widely reported here that Eric was the one with a sense of humour.
    Young enough to remember doing it;
    Old enough to wish I could do it again.

    Susan Day would have been terrible in Grease - way too stiff. But she sure was a beautiful girl and woman.

    Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.
