Pick An Actor to Have Dinner With

All of Them, but I chose Richard Chamberlain.

He is gorgeous at 90, but has a certain class, sophistication, and elegance that is above the Hollywood fray.

He Is An Actor to Have Dinner With!

I choose Angie because you know she'd chow down.

I choose Julie Andrews because we can sing together.

I would go for Rock Hudson....that would be a very interesting conversation if I got to ask everything I wanted to.

R5 Would you ask him to spend the night?

Yes, Rock Hudson would have stories!

Lauren Bacall.

Because I want to be belittled, shamed, and hen pecked by a diva.

SIDNEY, not Sydney.

And Leontyne Price was not an actor.

I don’t want to east with any of these people.

My east, my west.

I guess Richard Chamberlain would be good company.

I wouldn't want to have dinner with a dead person, especially if they were in an advanced state of decay.

I'd love to show James Earl Jones this clip and ask him just what he was thinking while Phylicia Rashad was nattering on here.

Where’s the Eric Porter option?

Helen "Ballbuster" Lawson!!!!

Angela Lansbury is winning!

I chose Leontyne Price because we share a birthday.

Leontyne Price may not have been an "actor, but she had a glorious voice and "acted" on opera stages for 30 years.

I would say Peter O'Toole, although I hope he wouldn't expect me to drink as much alcohol as him.

R20 Why would he? More for him

No Vivian Vance?

Illegitimate poll.

Greg Peck so I could just sit there and gape at his beauty.

Daryl McCormack. I would be doing him under the table during the entire meal.

I’d pick Leontyne just because I love her movies, but it would also be cool to discuss how Vincent’s bisexuality affected their marriage. Good option, OP!

[quote] how Vincent’s bisexuality affected their marriage

His marriage with his wife, the actress, Coral Browne?

Award-winning actor and model Dean Flynn, of course.

Ok, if I have to stick with the spirit of the question, then Cary Grant.

I heard that the food at cemeteries and nursing homes was not very good.

I've watched Peter O Toole on many talk shows and he is delightful. A great storyteller with a wicked sense of humor. So if he were alive he is the person I'd choose to have dinner with.

William Holden, circa 1976, just so I can ask him just how much alcohol he consumed between 1951 and 1976 to go from the beauty he was in "Sunset Boulevard:" to how he looked in "Network."

[quote] I would say Peter O'Toole, although I hope he wouldn't expect me to drink as much alcohol as him.

You could say the same thing about Julie Andrews!

Who's paying?

Christopher Plummer is a very charming and a great story teller, too. He was also a big wine drinker, so you know we'd have great wine

[quote] Christopher Plummer is a very charming and a great story teller

Not anymore.

Peter Ustinov

Michael Caine. I like good storytellers with a sense of humor. Intelligent guys.

Helen Mirren would probably be delightful. Bradley Cooper if he stayed for breakfast.

I always had a big crush on Clint Eastwood, so I’d probably pick him.

But Clint Eastwood wouldn't talk

Angie Dickinson - a kind and lovely person and, oh, the stories she could tell!

David Straithairn

[quote]R39 But Clint Eastwood wouldn't talk

I hadn’t thought of that. But he is a film director - he must be capable of SOME kind of voluntary speech?!

Hopefully he could at least tell me about Jean Seberg.

Judy. For the stories. And maybe one song.

R38/R42, dinner with you would make his day.

You have great taste, R41.

Elizabeth Taylor.

R45 Thank you, Sylvia!

Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn please.

Hepburn would be rude and dismissive. Liz Taylor would steal your dinner. Cary Grant would cheap out and stick you with the bill.

I think many of us are going to be disappointed.

I know who would NOT be on my list of dining partners.

Jean-Louis Trintignant, because he was intelligent, cultured, and is already taking off his clothes. "Time for an 'amuse-bouche'!"

R51 Verificatia of sizemeat?

Angela Lansbury because I'd want to ask her about all the guest stars she worked with on "Murder She Wrote." Who she liked and who she hated.

Definitely not Richard Dreyfuss.

So is this OP a 90-year-old straight woman, a fat and lonely 68-year-old gay man, or the troll it smells like?

I vote for fat and lonely.

Her lurking commitment to the game:

Pick An Actor to Have Dinner With Pick the actor to have an elegant dinner with. Living or Dead.

Explain in the comments why.

R55 I am neither and I'm not lonely. As OP of a thread, part of my job is to engage with others and keep the thread moving, much like a diner party host.

[quote] much like a diner party host.

What’ll you have, hon?

I smell rotting, festering cunt.

Oh wait, that's just R55

R55, OP is the “He is/Let’s discuss” troll. He is a relatively young law student in Houston based on information he has provided over the years. He often replies to his own threads and resurrects his old thread but is harmless He is not fat.

He IS Richard Chamberlain!

*nellie jazz hands wave*

R59 creepy

Lauren would offer you Fancy Feast on crackers, washed-down with Highpoint*. And resting bitch face.

Bacall would be a horrible choice, she'd order the most expensive scotch and cigars, and you know she wouldn't spill...

I would choose Angela because she was lovely and sophisticated and I would also want some Bea Arthur and Betty White stories.

If the dinner ended with sex, then a young Julie Andrews.

Barbara Stanwyck!

I'd love to have dinner with Richard Burton!

Bacall but only if she is contractually bound to have a conversation with me throughout the entire meal.

James Earl Jones would have fun stories, too:

Dr. Strangelove

The Great White Hope

The Sting

Roots

Star Wars

Driving Miss Daisy

Othello

I would love Dinner with Roddy McDowell or Dominick Dunne. But out of this group I would pick Richard chamberlain - hopefully he would dish about everyone else.

Richard Dreyfuss

[quote]As OP of a thread, part of my job is to engage with others and keep the thread moving, much like a diner party host.

Bitch, please! Call and schedule a session or twelve with me.

Anyone but Wallace Shawn and André Gregory.

R72 how about Terrence Malick and Richard Dreyfuss

Liza!!!!!!!

Gore Vidal

If the dinner ended with sex, then a young Christopher Plummer, preferably with him cosplaying as Georg von Trapp.

R76, you’d be the Baron-ass.

R77 Well played!

Gregory Peck

Charming, sophisticated, kind, classy, and sexy

He could discuss wine, opera, football, politics, travel, and you could tell him anything and you know it wouldn't leave the table.

[qoute]As OP of a thread, part of my job is to engage with others and keep the thread moving, much like a diner party host.

Honey, you ain't no Elsa Maxwell.

Richard E. Grant. Wonderful conversationalist, clever, intelligent, perfect!

[quote] creepy

Not creepy at all when you have provided that info about yourself on your threads sometimes several times.
