Love This Picture…..Dean is on the Top Row!
(Visited 1 times)
Dean Stockwell was one of my favourite child actors. I usually don’t like child actors. My favourite film of his as a child is anchor’s Aweigh. As an adult I love his two episodes of Columbo. REst in peace
Sad news. Watched Dean in ‘Dune’ 1984 a few weeks ago. R.I.P. Dean Stockwell.
Also the kid in Anchors Aweigh with Gene Kelly. Might watch that at Xmas.
His role in Dune well great!! Enjoyed the picture, picking out all the stars I remembered.
I saw 14. 13 of top 23. gentlemens agreement is a 10 not a favourite. the player is a ten and a favourite. hidden gem is dune, a 9. blue velvet, a 9, is powerful and way too weird (violent/ sensual/quirky/hopperesque/visceral ) to ever recommend.
