It’s the “I Dream of Jeannie” star, a year before Jeannie, wearing normal clothes and sporting dark brown hair.
No nudity. She did none in her career. More’s the pity.
Jessica Barr in Can’t Seem to Make You Mine (2023)
Obscure American drama. (Only 13 votes on IMDb.)
A man who was just released from prison tries to make amends with his ex and become a father to his 6-year-old son while staying with a stripper he met on a pen-pal website.
I have dramatically color-corrected this image. You can see the original colors in the video.
Here’s the video. You’ll love it if you’re into blue and pink. If that’s not your thing, the color filters are obnoxious. If you’re interested in the film, you can watch it on Tubi.
Chloe Pirrie naked in episode 6 of Dept. Q
This is a new series from the UK starring Matthew Goode as Detective Carl Morck. It came out on Netflix yesterday.
DCI Carl Morck is a brilliant cop but a terrible colleague. His razor-sharp sarcasm has made him no friends in Edinburgh police. After a shooting that leaves a young pc dead, and his partner paralysed, he finds himself exiled to the basement and the sole member of Department Q; a newly formed cold case unit. The department is a PR stunt, there to distract the public from the failures of an under-resourced, failing police force that is glad to see the back of him. But more by accident than design, Carl starts to build a gang of waifs and strays who have everything to prove. So, when the stone-cold trail of a prominent civil servant who disappeared several years ago starts to heat up, Carl is back doing what he does best – rattling cages and refusing to take no for an answer.
Several books from the series of Danish crime novels by Jussi Adler-Olsen have been made into movies, but this is the first time the stories have been adapted in English.
The previous Danish adaptations consist of six movies:
- Department Q: Keeper of Lost Causes (2013)
- Department Q: The Absent One (2014)
- Department Q: A Conspiracy of Faith (2016)
- Department Q: The Purity of Revenge (2018)
- The Marco Effect (2021)
- Boundless (2024)
Author Jussi Adler-Olsen was unhappy with the results and the casting in the first four films, feeling that the films and characters departed from his novels too much and that his suggestions were being ignored. A new production team took over and all the major roles were re-cast for the next two films. There are four more books which have not yet been adapted into feature films.
Modest nudity from Marilou Aussiloux in La Pie Voleuse (2024)
French drama. The title means (colloquially) “The Thieving Magpie.”
Maria is no longer young and helps people who are even older than she is. Struggling to make ends meet, she refuses to accept her precarious situation and occasionally steals a few euros from the kind souls she cares for with extreme devotion–who, in return, adore her.
This title has a long history in European culture:
La Pie Voleuse is the French-language title of a popular Rossini opera first performed in 1817. (Kubrick used music from the overture in “A Clockwork Orange.”) The title was literally accurate in the case of the opera. Rossini’s version of the story is about a household maid who nearly goes to the gallows for stealing silver from her employers. At the last instant, it’s revealed that the silver thief was actually a magpie that had been hiding items in the church tower.
Rossini’s story was based upon a French non-musical three-act play,”La pie voleuse, ou la servante de Palaiseau” (The Thieving Magpie, or The Maid of Palaiseau), by Caigniez and D’Aubigny, performed for the first time in Paris on April 29, 1815. If you’re really into archaic French, the whole play is online.
The play, in turn, was based on “the true events of a distressing miscarriage of justice,” or so the story goes. I have no reason to doubt that, but I could neither confirm nor refute it.

Loretta Swit, the Emmy-winning M*A*S*H actress, dies at 87
TRIVIA: Did you know … Loretta Swit was the first actress to play Cagney in Cagney and Lacey.
M*A*S*H debuted more than 50 years ago. The final episode aired 42 years ago. It remains the all-time most-watched U.S. television episode (and so far, the only single television episode in American history to be watched by at least 100 million viewers for a single telecast).
The most U.S. viewers for any type of program was the estimated 150 million that watched the moon landing, which was on every major channel. That’s approximately equal to the entire population of Russia. The most viewers watching a show on a single network was the 133.5 million that watched this year’s Super Bowl.
The most for a single show in a single country was probably the first Chinese broadcast of The Legend of Bruce Lee (2008), which was watched by more than 400 million viewers in China. That is more than the combined population of the U.S. and Canada.
Ivana Baquero was only topless for a few seconds in A Widow’s Game
But they were very impressive seconds:
A Widow’s Game is a new thriller from Spain, now available on Netflix. In Spanish it is called “La Viuda Negra” (literally: the black widow).
August 2017. In a parking lot in Valencia appears the body of a man, stabbed seven times. Everything points to a crime of passion. The homicide group of the city, with a veteran inspector at the head, starts an investigation against the clock that soon leads them to a suspect that no one expected: Maje, the young widow, sweet and serene, who had been married to the victim for less than a year.
The film is based upon the so-called “crime of Patraix,” an infamous murder case that took place in Valencia in 2017 and generated a media frenzy.
Do not read further if you want to watch and enjoy the film, because the following story of the actual crime will reveal the ending.
Harrison Ruffin Tyler, Grandson of the 10th President, Is Dead at 96
This fact seems incredible:
In just three generations, his family spanned the terms of every U.S. president. When his grandfather was born, George Washington had just become president.
His father was born in 1853 (34 years before my oldest grandparent).
Most of us knew or know our grandparents. When Harrison Tyler was born, his grandfather had been dead for 66 years!
The trick? President John Tyler, as in “Tippecanoe and Tyler, too,” was 63 when Lyon Tyler was born to his second wife. In turn, Lyon Tyler was 75 when Harrison Tyler was born to his second wife.
The 10 Most Desolate Places on Earth
A paragraph about #6 on the list:
Officially the most remote place on earth is Chang Tang, Tibet. In 2009, the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre named the Tibetan Plateau as the world’s most remote place. It would take three weeks to get to any city with a detectable population – Lhasa or Korla. You could drive one day, and then would have to walk the other 20 days. Rough terrain, freezing temperatures, and the utter desolation lend a definite air of “do not disturb”.
