I knew that actor Patrick McGoohan had died this week but, to my shame, I've never seen a single episode of the show in which he played his most well-known role, The Prisoner.

Karen Dotrice was also on Upstairs, Downstairs for a few episodes--but I've never seen The Three Lives of Thomasina. I think there was a trailer for it on one of my tapes of another live-action Disney movie. Possibly The Parent Trap. Or The Gnome Mobile.

Whoa! I love Anton! And I never connected Mozart's father to Anton, but now that you mention it...

Now, now, we both know I have the very blackened soul of an evangelical Christian.
