Yes I liked Shelagh but nothing could ever match Elwy, he was born to it, as the saying goes.<br />I'm so glad I had the foresight to do all that taping back in the day!!!<br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-26574377884454432622011-07-23T19:22:27.822-02:302011-07-23T19:22:27.822-02:30Another Elwy & SNAM fan here.

But none had the knowledge and enthusiasm that Elwy offered, plus those priceless interviews - he did all the big stars, Henry Fonda, the Hustons, Shirley Maclaine, I could go on and on and their insight was incredible in discussing their art.<br />Glad to see you were a fan too!!<br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-91422542417092239982011-07-23T16:26:46.543-02:302011-07-23T16:26:46.543-02:30I love Saturday Night at the Movies!

I met him once at one of the TVO fundraisers, he had the most remarkable way of looking at you as if you were the only on in the room. And he always said he was doing what he loved and the bonus was getting paid for it.<br />Lovely that your mother worked with him!<br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-63466604681466863822011-07-23T14:13:16.609-02:302011-07-23T14:13:16.609-02:30My sentiments also, I rarely missed Saturday night...My sentiments also, I rarely missed Saturday night at the Movies when he was the host.On a personal note: my mother worked with him in the Toronto Star circulation department and I recall her talking about this pleasant co- worker with the odd name.Government Funded Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937389348779245666noreply@blogger.com
