My birthday song, my happy world (Part 329)...

 Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1945, in Kansas City Missouri, Edie McClurg was born. 

Who, you say?  Well she's an actress.  Oh what has she been in, you ask?   Well she's had parts in: 

Carrie

Cheech & Chong's Next Movie

Mr. Mom

Back To School

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

The Little Mermaid

A River Runs Through It

Natural Born Killers

Flubber

Ted

Cars

Wrech It Ralph

Frozen

Zootopia

She's also had parts in many many TV shows, starting the late 70s and going into the 2020's. 

I first saw her, and thought her hilarious, in the equally hilarious WKRP In Cincinnati and the wife of Herb Tarlik, Lucille.

And while all this IS impressive, it does not make her a badass.  What does?  This quote: 

"Oh, he's very popular, Ed.  The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude." 

Yes, she played Grace, he pulling random pencils from her coif secretary to Ed Rooney in one of the greatest movies ever made: Ferris Bueller's Day Off!

My God, did this woman make me laugh back then.  And that makes her a total badass!

 Superhero Anydays

Today, by someone named Darryl Young, we have what can only be called a group of D-List DC heroes.  Since they're all youngish and/or sidekicks (and three of them were part of the Teen Titans in the 70s) perhaps they're main team Teen Titan wannabees? 

Supergirl, Element Girl, Golden Eagle

Lilith, Guardian, and Airwave

********************

And today we also have cosplayers doing the Earth-2 Alan Scott Green Lantern with the Earth-2 John Stewart Green Lantern. 

And the second one could even be doing a cosplay of Idris Elba portraying John Stewart?

 TRUTH In Spite Of Convicted Felon Mar-A-Taco rRump

So by now, we've all seen, and been embarrassed by, the orange shitgibbon's attempt to pathetically interpose himself in the photos of the Spanish World Cup teams winning photos. 

Thankfully, pretty much every media outlet, at least those outside of the US, digitally removed him from the pics they put up on the web or their papers or tv news reports. 

But no matter how sorry, sad and piterous was his attempt here, it wasn't the ONLY time he attempted to do something as small and craven as this.   See?

On this date, in 1934, in Birmingham Alabama, Louise Fletcher was born. 

Her movie career spanned 1963 to 2020 (57 years).   Her TV career spanned 1958 to 2017 (59 years).  She has recieved an Oscar, a BAFTA, and a Golden Globe among other accolades. 

However, she's a badass for two roles, one in movies and one in television. 

Nurse Ratched in "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest"

Kai Winn in "Star Trek Deep Space 9"

Total badass.

 Perez Appreciation Post

The Maestro George Perez took over the artist duties of the Justice League of America when it's longtime artist, Dick Dillon, died suddenly of a heart attack.  And he kept that duty until he moved on a few years later to become artist and cocreator of the New Teen Titans.  But he still found time over the next couple years to do the covers for the JLA.   This is one such cover JLA #207 from 1982.

This is one of the annual crossovers between Earth-1's JLA and Earth-2's Justice Society Of America.  This time around, it includes a team-up from Earth-2's World War II era team The All-Star Squadon.  And they're all going against the reverse-Earth, Earth-3's supers, the Crime Syndicate of America. 

So this Perez cover shows, on the left, headshots of the JLA team: Aquaman, Firestorm, Hawkman, Superman and Zatanna.  On the left we have headshorts of the JSA team: Dr. Fate, Green Lantern, Huntress, Power Girl and Starman.  And acorss the bottle we have the All-Star team headshots: Firebrand, Johnny Quick, Liberty Belle, Robotman, and Steel. 

And in the center panel, we have the Crime Syndicate rushing out of the cube used to move between Earth-1 and Earth-2 to attack the JLA!

Top to bottom: Emerald Ring, Johnny Quick, Ultraman, Owlman, and Superwoman.

Despite the amazing covers by The Maestro, and a pretty good storyline, the interior art was by the horrid Don Heck.  His art was always blocky and stiff and just...ugly to me.

 Badass Birthdays

On this date, in 1951, in Chicago, Robin Williams was born. 

Robin Williams was a celebrated actor and comedian and extremely gifted improvisational personality.  He did stand up comedy which allowed him to get on the TV sitcom Mork & Mindy in the late 70s.   He made numerous TV appearances over the years, but I think his world wide fame came from the movies he was in. 

Popeye

The World According To Garp

Good Morning, Vietnam

Dead Poets Society

Hook

Alladin

Mrs. Doubtfire

The Birdcage

Good Will Hunting

Patch Adams

Happy Feet

Night At The Museum

 

Among many others!

He has been nominiated for 4 Oscars, winning 1; nominated for 9 Emmys, winning 2; nominated for 12 Golden Globes, winning 6; nominated for 9 Grammys, winning 5; and nominated for 2 BAFTA awards. 

Sadly, he dealt with substance abuse and depression at times in his life, and ending up taking his own life in 2014, at the age of 63.

But really, if you've ever seen Robin Williams in...well, in really anything, you'll see why he is absolutely a badass!
