Give him a Hardy and Laurel welcome! (Blazing Saddles)
by all accounts a lovely man. which is always nice to hear
A legend lost👍
Funny to think that he was considered comically obese back in the day
Im gonna start dressing like him. Bring that style back!
Hard to imagine traveling to a warm climate in those formal clothes. Different times.
I never understood why some chose to wear trousers with such a high waist line.
Why, they’re as cute as a bugs ear.
Great movies
Another fine mess you’ve gotten me into
Fat guys should wear short ties like that again.
Fun fact (or maybe a little mean fact): The show is called “Fat & Stupid” (Dick und Doof) in Germany
Something about old Hollywood photos always feels so effortlessly classy. They just carried themselves with a kind of quiet confidence.
Dapper couple!
