Yes, very true. The book is a pretty good but the film adaptation was mediocre. Raise The Titanic was a total snoozefest.
It was more fun watching it sink!

I read lots of Mr Cussers books when I was young, I wonder who is going to get his cars?
Barrett Jackson???
Aww. I so loved that ionic photo! Never noticed a man in that photo other than the sailor, though. Will have to go check it out.

McCoy Tyner, dead at 81. Maybe not a "celebrity", but a great jazz pianist.
I saw that earlier. He was and also a major factor in the success of John Coltrane, plus a very successful artist in his own right.

Sorry to say I have only two (at the moment) of his albums, "Expansions" and "Double Trios".
