Timothy Bottoms
Whether or not he actually did, I don't know and I don't care
He wasn't much good yet he though himself too good to appear on "The Paper Chase" If it was good enough for John Hillerman it was good enough for him
His brothers disliked him and why didn't he buy an iron for his hair

I always just adored his surname.

Thank you for posting a thread on a subject about which you have no interest, OP.
Sweet of you.

There were too many Bottoms brothers, it got confusing.
One died from brain cancer.

Why would you use that name in public? Wasn’t Lindsay Wagner ashamed to be starring in her first movie opposite someone with such an embarrassing last name?

As someone old enough to remember, all I can say is back in the day of The Paper Chase, we all wanted that mop of curly auburn hair and gold wire-rimmed eyeglasses Timothy Bottoms sported so adorably.
Well, I bought myself the eyeglasses, anyway.

Timothy Bottoms is a simple declarative sentence.

He should have been called “Timmothy Tops”

Timothy did a full-frontal nude scene in one of his more recent films.

No one wanted to see that, he just did it and then ran out of money to edit it out

His first few films were rather impressive I guess it was hard to sustain that quality over the years.

His stage name is a calculated risk, with a dismal result.

R10 isn't that an early form of twerking? Wagner Bottoms?

Same, R3. Yummy, yum, yum. His younger brother Sam (the cute kid who played the sweeping mute in the film, who also had his braces removed temporarily to do it) died of a brain tumor in 2008. He was only 53. Sad.
But I've had a bit of a crush on Timothy Bottoms since I first saw "The Last Picture Show" twenty years ago.

I'm a child of the 70s, and I remember all the Bottoms brothers, Timothy being the cutest from that era... a sweet innocent face.

Someone fix up one of the Bottoms offspring with the great grandchild of Tyrone Power or something.

Why would he have? Curls were all the rage for men back in the 70s.
Why do you think Robert "Mike Brady" Reed got a perm?

That is one ugly last name.

Timothy Bottoms first entered my radar screen in the late '70s in the 1975 film "Operation Daybreak" It was about the assassination of Nazi SS General Reinhard Heydrich. Great little movie!

He was one of the first "I think I might be gay" moments I had when I saw him in Rollercoaster.

Peter Bogdavonich single handledly blackballed T Bottoms after Last Picture Show.
Peter‘s pregnant wife was on set while he carried on a very public affair with Cybil S. T.Bottoms confronted Peter in a very in your face way. Everyone on set quivered in front of the delicate genius Peter, who looks like a cross between a sausage and Mr. Pranut with that stupid scarf he always wears

I will always have great fondness for his performance in The Last Picture Show. Anyone who, more than half a century later, can point to one accomplishment of that lasting quality has had some outstanding and rate success.
Tom Cruise, for example, has made untold films and untold money and been the subject of endless attention but what work of his has held up for that long, or half that long? Has he ever played a role where an audience will remember his facial expression? his posture? human scenes that last in the memory?
If only more people did less work, OP, I might think more highly of them.

I just called my mom and asked her if she knew who Timmothy Bottoms was. She replied “a gay porn star”?

R 35 here to R 33
Im well aware of that, you childish name calling child.
Nonetheless, this story is TRUE. So he did a couple of movies. That is a far cry from what his career could have been absent the insecure actions of Peter.

No, women used to iron their hair with irons. Valerie Harper said, she once set her hair on fire doing that..
