It's not a party until Mel shows up


So you're Marlene Dietrich and you're thinking it's a premiere (Brave Bulls, 1951, d. Robert Rossen), you got the usual studio invite, you might as well show up. Why not bring the daughter along, Maria Riva. She's done an episode or two of this and that on TV so why not show her off. You're both kind of bored when you make your entrance and you tell Maria, "Don't worry, five minutes in and I'll get a 'stomach cramp' and we'll have to leave." And then all plans go out the window because...


... it's Mel baby! And when Mel shows up, it's a party!

Who's Mel? Mel Blanc? Mel Gibson? Mel Torme? Mel Sharples? Mel Bay? Mel McDaniel? Mel Brooks? Melanie Griffiths? Pell Mel? Mel-O-Cream donuts (I hope!)?

It's certainly NOT a party with that Gibson jerk-off ...

Mel McDaniel. Obviously.

Was he the first husband on Bewitched or the second?

Greg said...

Rick, I knew that would make you happy.

BLH, he was the third, the one they used after the show was cancelled for special appearances at Burger King openings.
