To jest zdjęcie z programu Michaela Douglasa, w którym Pernell wystąpił razem z synem. Ten chłopak z gitarą to Chris Roberts.

Mało jest zdjęć Chrisa. Parę wrzuciłam kiedyś do galerii. Od tego czasu znalazłam jeszcze takie:


Jonathan Christopher Roberts

Macie jakieś jeszcze?

[Ewelina]

Na tym zdjęciu jest podobny do ojca...
Gdzieś w internecie albo na facebooku widziałam zdjęcie małego Chrisa z matką, jest jeszcze fotografia na ktorej jest - Pernell Roberts, jego rodzice, szeryf Waycross i maly Chris. Nie wiem dlaczego tak niewiele jest zdjęć syna Robertsa... przecież powinno być ich więcej , choćby te ze zbiorów rodzinnych, bo nie wierzę, żeby matka, lub babcia nie mialy jego zdjęć...

Wypowiedzi Landona o Robertsie:

I'm impressed by his not being thrown off-balance by the money he is making, but I don't see that choosing comforts for which we're grateful is a sign that we've lots our sense of values. There are many things that I admire about Pernell. He has the courage to take a positive stand for all the constructive ideas he believes in passionately and he is very polite. He?s been the most puzzled of all of us about how to meet life, and yet he is the least moody of us. Pernell can adjust faster once he finally makes up his mind.

Musically, he's the most talented of us all. He has the best voice for singing and he always has his guitar with him on a set to play in between his scenes. His instinctive thoughtfulness was never more evident than the day he drove Miriam Makeba (Thompson's note: Miriam Makeba was a fantastic black singer from South Africa that was introduced to American audiences in the early 60's by the wonderful entertainer Harry Bellefonte. She introduced the "click" language to American audiences with her "click" song she used to sing. I had the privilege of seeing her and Mr. Bellefonte several times live when I was in high school and it was a thrill.) one of his favorite singers out to location where we were working. She'd had a serious operation, a long hospital siege, so he speeded her recovery by fixing a bed in his camper from which she could watch us easily.

He's great with kids because he is a family man. Pernell's devoted to his 12-year-old son, Chris, who lives in New York with his mother and vacations enthusiastically out here with his dad. Did you know that Pernell is the only cowboy at heart among us? However, rather than punching cows he piles his sleeping bags and outdoor gear into his camper for weekend adventures in the mountains and desert. He and Chris got an extra kick out of their exploring on the Colorado River. Pernell's wife Judy, whom he married in October of '62, goes camping eagerly with him She's a subtly attractive, bright brunette who never wished to be an actress. Wisely, she's giving him the love he wanted. Judy realizes his range eventually will win him the acting honors he's heading for.

Pernell first majored in engineering at Georgia Tech. He quit to enlist in the Marines. Later, when he attended the University of Maryland, he acted in plays there and that decided him on his future. He plunged into a greater variety of jobs than the rest of us while getting his foothold on the stage.

To własnie tutaj powinnam pochwalic Landona za chwalenie Robertsa...

Tutaj. To ja jestem gapa i odruchowo weszłam w temat, do którego najczęściej zaglądam. Potem wchodzę jeszcze raz, żeby wkleić zdjęcie, patrzę a tu tekst o Robertsie. No i szybciutko naprawiłam swoje gapiostwo. Wybaczcie zamieszanie.

Battle of the Network Stars - seria zmagań różnych stacji telewizyjnych. W drużynach byli aktorzy grający dla tych stacji (pewnie głównie w serialach). Poniżej trzy filmy (kolejne części) z 12. Bitwy - przeciąganie liny. Zdaje się, że była to ostatnia konkurencja decydująca o zwycięstwie. Stację CBS reprezentuje m.in. Pernell

Dla osób słabszych z angielskiego wyjaśniam problem zaistniały na początku konkurencji - zasada była: 3 facetów i dwie kobiety na drużynę, i wszyscy razem muszą się zmieścić poniżej 800 funtów wagi. CBS nie dało rady złożyć takiej drużyny. Po naradach zdecydowano się zachować zasadę wagową (zgadzam się, że to na pewno bardziej fair).

I jeszcze jedna recenzja znaleziona w necie:

"I decided to [review] that because of one event on this broadcast, the final one, the tug of war to decide the winner. It went on for almost ten minutes and was actually kind of brutal. No one involved was acting, they were busting their butts for real to win. It was really something to see, it was real reality TV, not the scripted reality TV we have now.

The participants who really made an impression on me were Pernell Roberts, Joan Van Ark, and Katherine Bach, the last two probably because I'm a guy. They held on during this event for almost ten minutes and they were in serious pain most of that time, you could see it on their faces, and they exhausted themselves to win a tug of war on a silly reality show for what? For the sake of competition, for the sake of winning, nothing else. It was the most real moment I've ever seen on "reality TV".

Pernell Roberts has since passed away, Joan Van Ark has turned into a plastic surgery horror and Katherine Bach's career never really reached great heights. But thirty years ago, on a cheesy network reality show, during a span of only ten minutes, they proved themselves to be winners, not actors, not someone playing a role, but real winners. They showed that they really had heart.

Howard Cosell made the comment during the tug of war that he'd seen million dollar athletes who didn't work as hard as the celebrities in that event did and he was right. We still see that every day. But if you want to see pure competition, a display of the raw will to win, to not give up, get your hands on a copy of this broadcast and watch the last ten minutes. It's really a beautiful thing to see, from the most unlikely source."

Ci na końcach byli określani jako zakotwiczenie (anchor). Ten z przodu miał ciągnąć, a ten z tyłu chyba przede wszystkim pilnować, żeby to jego nie pociągnęli do przodu.

Jakby nie bylo, prawie sto kilo żywej wagi...

Aha, i jedna z pań w drużynie żółtej (CBS) miała wtedy kontuzję uda.

To jeszcze z poprzedniej (11.) Bitwy:

Oprócz drużyny niebieskiej, przyjrzyjcie się tej czerwonej

[Ewelina]

Andrew Stevensa kojarzę z kilku filmów, on jeszcze chyba zajmował się reżyserią i bywał producentem...

[Rika]

Melissa Gilbert jest w czerwonych, Laura z Domku na prerii.
A Pernell na to bieganie już trochę za stary, zwłaszcza w porównaniu z tymi młodymi hartami.
