1982- Fighting Back- Patti Lupone And Tom Skerritt

She was attractive back in 1982 and perhaps this was the basis for her Greek restaurant character on the 1998 Frasier episode 16 years later.

Tom was very good looking here. He's SO fuckin old now-91 years old. I miss those giant American cars.

Tom Skerritt has always been on my fuck list - even in his 70s.

If you look back at his younger pics - he actually gets more handsome as he gets older - starting in his 50s. I think he peaked in his 60s - which is really rare. I don't think he was as handsome when he was younger - although he was definitely attractive.

R2- You're welcome

R1- He was certainly good looking as the cop in 1970 in the movie Harold and Maude but I agree he was a bit bland looking when he was younger. A good example of this was Sam Shepard. When he was young not so great looking but by the time he was in his forties he was very good looking/ handsome- especially in the movie Baby Boom (1987).

That was really fucking stupid, Patti. I mean, REALLY fucking bone headed.

And, yes, Tom Skerritt was a hot piece of ass, and oh, so charming--even in his final appearance on [italic]Leverage--[/italic] at age 79.

Oh, how I'd have loved to be in the midst of a Hawkeye-Trapper-Duke triple-decker sandwich.

The stupidest scene is later on, a precursor of the boiling bunny in "Fatal Attraction." Patti pulls back the shower curtain and sees a stuffed dog covered in ketchup hanging from the shower head; instead of laughing, she starts screaming and then you realize that the obvious toy is supposed to be the family dog. brutally slaughtered by that same pimp she disrespected. Lewis Teague, who directed, had did much better with the dog scenes in his next movie, "Cujo."

I was living in Seattle at the time and the critic William Arnold (who wrote the fictitious "Shadowland") called it the thinking man's Death Wish and went on and on about how this was the first movie Patti LuPone chose to make after her success with Evita.

Yes, the script is "Death Wish" meets "Dirty Harry." Some of the violence is pretty graphic. Most of the acting is good and so is the location filming in Philadelphia.

Wow. She’s actually a pretty pitiful actress. How!
