It all caught up with him twenty-three years ago today
I'm speaking of Arthur Lake, I remember him as Dagwood Bumstead in the "Blondie" movie series. Over champagne french toast this morning in Natalie Schaefer's villa (Mother is having "only liquids"), I was aghast to be reminded of this, from Donald Wolfe's excellent book "The Black Dahlia Files": and from John Gilmore's book "Laid Bare" and this is about seven years before he died at the 1980 premiere of Neil Simon's Seems Like Old Times:Arthur's buried with his mother in law Marion Davies in the Douras Mausoleum next to the lake, not the one in center, the one at the edge.
Scion of famous Hollywood ancestry, Cliff lives with his mother (the former 1950's lead-pencil heiress and socialite, now penniless lush) Cobina Cugat, his bandleader husband Rusty, as well as four freeloading basset hounds in a one bedroom apartment in the North Valley. Sadly, Cobina believes it is 1954 and that she and her son still live in an impossibly lavish villa at the Garden of Allah Hotel in Hollywood. To make his life easier, he is doing nothing to change that belief. She also has no idea that son Clifton, "way over 29", was fired from his job three years ago. While he's pretending to do all sorts of things here we hope you are entertained and learn something along the way.
Leader of the Garden of Allah Orchestra, right now he's hiding from Mrs. Nazimova, our landlady
Four Freeloading Basset Hounds
Hey, the North Valley doesn't actually look like that
Do Not Let Those Eyes Fool You
Jason is just insane. Conflicted about being an actor, especially one called "Donutz". Thinking about getting a job at a management company.
I was so Desperate that i had to play a little girl dog on TV
Frank Marmel is ocd on the bone thing. Starred on a hit network series OH PIGTAILS as a precious little (female) basset named "Pigtails" for several seasons. Having "trouble" finding work.
are you happy with your representation?
Not interested in in following the family footsteps into becoming a thespian, young Josh Marmelstein (Frank's twin brother) is a talent agent at Aggressive Artists. He may be signing you soon. (Certainly your heart)
