Max Showalter: Mr. October 10/23/2011

Affable Max Showalter
According to the web stats for my little Blorg, the term that drove people to  istavisio.com the most this month was "Max Showalter Gay." Lower down, but still  on the list are "max showalter married" and "Max Showalter + Gay." Sure enough, if you type "max showalter gay" in the Google, Mildred's Fatburgers comes up  second, but doesn't go to the right post.

This  is the right post, for all the curious (or bi-curious) Max Showalter fans out there: What's Up With Max Showalter? (2/18/2011).

He really was a fine character actor, playing sad clowns especially well (see peculiar YouTube post below) and you've probably seen him in at least three things if you've ever caught a Late Late Show or watched television with any regularity between 1954 and 1983.

Max Showalter was much loved by his peers, fans, and community, as this memorial tribute in Variety (10/9/2000) attests. My blog-friend, Carl, author of the excellent Hollywood Movie Memories site remembers Max Showalter fondly as a great promoter of the arts in Connecticut, where the Max Showalter Foundation contributes to support local theater in his honor.

Let's see, including this next one,  I've mentioned Max Showalter 11 times. Take that, number one Google search return.

p.s. my favorite term on the list was "joan fontaine posture," but I
suspect that was my sister.

    I'll do just about anything a movie tells me to do — unless it tells me wrong.

    Then I get cranky.
