No lo conocía. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteMy dear friend Theodosia,
ReplyDeleteArt Carney was one of those classic Hollywood artists who always blended dramatic and humorous characters. He certainly deserves all the awards he received and his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Another excellent cinematic biography.
Kisses!!!
Esse ator, por não ter um charme irresistível, deve ter feito muito sucesso como comediante. rsrsrsrs

ReplyDeleteSaludos.
não conhecia esse artista, obrigada por me apresentar
ReplyDeleteUm bom ator.
ReplyDeleteMerecida homenagem.
Boa semana.
Saudações poéticas.
I always felt he was the king of improv. Maybe he was just that good of an actor. But he got into acting when it was just starting a new era and he was good at being the sidekick when all along he was the real actor. Thanks for the writeup!
ReplyDeletePoco sabía de este actor. Gracias por enseñarnos.
ReplyDeleteMais uma excelente partilha aqui nos deixas, amiga Theda.
ReplyDeleteConfesso que não conhecia este ator. Todavia, pela tua descrição, foi sem dúvida excelente.
Votos de uma feliz semana, com tudo de bom.
Beijinhos, com carinho e amizade.
