#Diana Farnsworth
Text
The Crimson Ghost terrorizing Diana Farnsworth (Linda Stirling) in his 1946 movie serial.
The Crimson Ghost had one of the best masks of all the film serial villains. So memorable, in fact, that the band The Misfits has used The Ghost's visage as their mascot.
Unfortunately, his main foil, criminologist Professor Duncan Richards (Charles Quigley) didn't have a costume of his own, and was fairly dull.
The production used some real fake-outs to keep the audience from figuring out who The Crimson Ghost was until the end of the final chapter. The man inside the costume was Bud Geary, but The Crimson Ghost's voice belonged to actor I. Stanford Jolley. Meanwhile, Jolley appeared on screen as a psychologist victimized by The Crimson Ghost. And when finally unmasked, Scooby Doo-style, it's revealed that The Crimson Ghost was a college professor played by actor Joseph Forte. Got that all straight?
One final thing memorable thing about the serial to mention: Clayton Moore starred as The Crimson Ghost's # 1 henchman/right hand goon. Three years later Moore would star as The Lone Ranger on the eponymous television program, a role for which was known for the rest of his life.

Linda Sterling The Crimson Ghost (1946)

I've had this in my head since watching Anne With An E a couple of years ago, but I didn't have anywhere to put it. But it occurred to me that now I have a Tumblr account! Nobody reads it but that's okay.
I loved the 1985 Anne of Green Gables miniseries when I was a kid, but I haven't watched it since then so my memory may not be totally accurate. Apologies if I misrepresent anything.
So, my answers to the question that nobody asked me: Who wore [the character] better, the actor from 1985 Anne of Green Gables, or the actor from 2017 Anne With An E?
Anne:
Megan Follows (1985) / Amybeth McNulty (2017)
Megan Follows is fantastic, but for me, Amybeth McNulty wins this hands down. Follows's Anne is tiny and perky and vivid and lovely. McNulty's Anne is gangly and dreamy and huge-eyed and freckled, and somehow has the ability (as in the books) to look either plain or breathtaking depending on the situation and her frame of mind. Both can talk at a mile a minute (a requirement for Anne) but McNulty's delivery, which runs out of breath and trips over itself, is more what I imagine for Anne than Follows's lively chatter.
Marilla:
Colleen Dewhurst (1985) / Geraldine James (2017)
This is a tough choice. Colleen Dewhurst is excellent, but in my opinion Geraldine James does a better transition between the angry, exacting, emotionally closed off pre-Anne Marilla, and the doting parent that she eventually becomes. Dewhurst is too nice all along! Mostly this is down to the writing though.
Matthew:
Richard Farnsworth (1985) / R. H. Thomson (2017)
Again a tough one, and again the writing makes a big difference. I have to pick R. H. Thomson because I adore so much what he was given a chance to do with the character of Matthew. There wasn't enough of Richard Farnsworth in the 1985 miniseries to be fair.
Diana:
Schuyler Grant (1985) / Dalila Bela (2017)
Neither of these actors perfectly embodies what I imagine for Diana, but Schuyler Grant comes closer. Per the book, Diana is fun, always laughing, and possibly a little on the dim side. Dalila Bela (writing again, at least in part) portrays Diana as smart and more serious, not bad things of course, but not Diana to my thinking.
Gilbert:
Jonathan Crombie (1985) / Lucas Zumann (2017)
Sorry, Jonathan Crombie will always be Gilbert to me. It's non-negotiable that Gilbert should be roguish; Lucas Zumann as Gilbert is many things (adorable, tragic) but roguish is not one of them. Crombie was an excellent rogue.
I won't do a Miss Stacy comparison because I don't even remember her from the 1985 miniseries, but I love the character so much in the 2017 series that I'm sure that Joanna Douglas would win anyway.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the 1969 film ALICE’S RESTAURANT, Adam Arkin, Ginger Baker, The Beatles 1967 “All You Need is Love” single, Coco Chanel, Bill Clinton, songwriter Roger Cook, the daguerreotype (1839), Darius Danesh, John Deacon, Dave Douglas (Reliant K), Eddie Durham, Philo Farnsworth, Rob Fenstermacher, Jonathan Frakes (great to have met you), Ian Gillan, Fumio Hayasaka, Susan Jacks, L.Q. Jones, Margie Joseph, The Knack’s 1979 “My Sharrona” single, Billy J. Kramer, Deana Martin (great to have gigged with you), Diana Muldaur, Luis Muñoz, Spud Murphy, one of my heroes Johnny Nash, Ogden Nash, National Aviation Day (1939), Debra Paget, the 1944 liberation of Paris, Christina Perri, Beat Raaflaub, Eddy Raven, Gene Roddenberry, John Stamos, Jason Starkey, my excellent boss Nate Stevens, Clay Walker, Lee Ann Womack, and singer-songwriter and gospel music provocateur Edwin Hawkins. He challenged prevailing notions about sacred vs. secular and broadened the field for gospel music, bridging it with funk, pop, rock, and soul. Despite challenges to his early career and ministry, he earned many awards and made many well-received records, yet still kept his eyes on God. He’s best known for his recording of “Oh Happy Day, “ an extension of an 18th century hymn. Edwin updated it in 1967 and his worship group played it repeatedly at the Ephesian Church of God in Christ in Berkeley CA. In 1969 Hawkins took the church group and made a small budget recording of it on a custom label, with Dorothy Combs Morrison on co-lead vocals. Their modest production is lo-fi by today’s standards but—lo and behold—the track became a surprise international hit, reaching #4 in the USA, #2 in the UK, Canada, and Ireland, and #1 in France, Germany, and The Netherlands.
Edwin’s version won a Grammy in 1970, has appeared in upwards to 20 movie soundtracks ,and has been covered countless times. It was also included on the RIAA Songs of the Century. George Harrison stated the song was a primary inspiration for “My Sweet Lord.” Here’s our modest take on it, and HB EH—thank you for making a joyful noise.

what have been some notable moments at royal weddings in sunderland over the decades? (for irl examples, princess beatrice's hat or diana's train or william and kate's kiss)
Ooh, ooh, ooh! This is a great question, everyone should answer this question! But I'll just list some of the notable moments from each royal wedding.
Wedding of Prince James and Lady Katherine Rothman (1941) - This was a wartime wedding, so everything was done on a strict budget. Katherine's gown was very understated as a result. It was also a very huge patriotic event that helped boost morale within the general public. Katherine had on a stank face the whole time, she'd wanted a huge wedding. She had begged King George to wait until the war was over, but he overrode her wish, for all he knew the war would end in 2041. So, penny-pincher wedding it was.
Wedding of Prince Louis and Lady Irene Wynne (1968) - Louis and Irene's wedding was huge. Even in the 60s, it was viewed by millions worldwide and the crowds were the largest ever recorded. Also, Irene was crying so hard that she was struggling to say her vows. They were very happy tears and people were instantly endeared to her.
Wedding of Prince Clarence and Ms. Pyhllis Grant (1980) - Clarence's wedding was dubbed a modern wedding and the music reflected that. Sure there were hymns and classical music. But there was also a great deal of pop music which was considered exciting.
Wedding of Princess Jaqueline and Mr. Lawrence Belmont (1997) - Princess Jack's wedding dress was the main source of speculation. It was never confirmed, but it was considered to be the most expensive wedding gown of all time. Also, Irene and Queen Katherine (surprisingly) were crying a bunch at that wedding. Jacqueline also executed a really deep curtsey for her father, and she was crying too.
Wedding of James, Prince of Danforth and Lady Tatiana Farnsworth (1998) - Tatiana and James had a winter wedding in the city, it was a week before Christmas, so the entire wedding had a Christmas-y vibe. There were poinsettias, Tatiana's grown had a fur trim, etc. It got dark early, but the glow of the palace coupled with the swirling snow made the balcony appearance stunning. Phillip was James's "supporter" and he got to wear his uniform for the first time.
Wedding of Prince Phillip and Ms. Courtney Borroughs-Parker (2004) - Phillip was so, so NERVOUS at his wedding. Like he was so red and sweaty, he hated being the centre of attention. You could tell the rest of the family was clowning him for being so nervous, but Courtney made him feel better once she was beside him. Oh, yeah, also a young Nicholas had a massive temper tantrum and threw Mia's bouquet on the floor right before the procession left. James was interviewed earlier that morning and he told the reporters that he didn't think Nick would take part in the ceremony because he was so ill-mannered. Nick was a little goofy, he pelted the bride and groom with rose petals afterwards, but he behaved during the actual wedding.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the 1969 film ALICE’S RESTAURANT, Adam Arkin, Ginger Baker, The Beatles 1967 “All You Need is Love” single, Coco Chanel, Bill Clinton, songwriter Roger Cook, the daguerreotype (1839), Darius Danesh, John Deacon, Dave Douglas (Reliant K), Eddie Durham, Philo Farnsworth, Rob Fenstermacher, Jonathan Frakes (great to have met you), Ian Gillan, Fumio Hayasaka, Susan Jacks, L.Q. Jones, Margie Joseph, The Knack’s 1979 “My Sharrona” single, Billy J. Kramer, Deana Martin (great to have gigged with you), Diana Muldaur, Luis Muñoz, Spud Murphy, one of my heroes Johnny Nash, Ogden Nash, National Aviation Day (1939), Debra Paget, the 1944 liberation of Paris, Christina Perri, Beat Raaflaub, Eddy Raven, Gene Roddenberry, John Stamos, Jason Starkey, my excellent boss Nate Stevens, Clay Walker, Lee Ann Womack, and singer-songwriter and gospel music provocateur Edwin Hawkins. In his career and ministry, he challenged prevailing notions about sacred vs. secular and broadened the field for gospel music, bridging it with funk, pop, rock, and soul. Despite the challenges in his early years, he earned many awards and made many well-received records, yet still kept his eyes on God. He’s best known for his recording of “Oh Happy Day, “ an extension of an 18th century hymn. Edwin did his update in 1967 and they played it repeatedly at the Ephesian Church of God in Christ in Berkeley CA. In 1969 Hawkins took the church group and made a small budget recording of it on a custom label, with Dorothy Combs Morrison on co-lead vocals. Their modest production is lo-fi by today’s standards but—lo and behold—the track became a surprise international hit, reaching #4 in the USA, #2 in the UK, Canada, and Ireland, and #1 in France, Germany, and The Netherlands.
Edwin’s version has appeared in upwards to 20 movie soundtracks and has been covered countless times. It was included on the RIAA Songs of the Century and won Edwin a Grammy in 1970. George Harrison stated the song was a primary inspiration for “My Sweet Lord.” Meanwhile, enjoy our modest take on it, and HB EH—thank you for making a joyful noise.
