Loving the Cilla Black stories in the flight attendant thread. She eventually had to address those comments in the UK press. The flight attendants also don't like Michael Winner or Naomi Campbell. Not thrilled with Bob Geldof and divided on Geri Halliwell.

I heard Sally Struthers on a recent podcast intimating, without naming her, that Rita Moreno is an asshole. I need to investigate this further. So far there's only sparks, not a fire.
― Josefa, Friday, 18 February 2022 00:51 (three years ago)
I think Rita Moreno is very direct, which some may interpret as assholique
― Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 18 February 2022 00:57 (three years ago)
But I've never heard of her as a bossy diva or anything like that

Sally Struthers was in The Odd Couple with Rita Moreno in the '80s, that's the source of the beef. Sally was basically playing the Felix role and Rita the Oscar role. Sally suggests that Rita had the pick of which role she wanted but then got upset that Sally's character got all the laughs.

^on Broadway, I should have said
― Josefa, Friday, 18 February 2022 01:09 (three years ago)
That sounds like a very specific showbiz relationship rivalry rather than legendary assholism
― Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 18 February 2022 01:10 (three years ago)
I heard one or two other things, but I'm not prepared at this moment to say Rita Moreno is an asshole
― Josefa, Friday, 18 February 2022 01:11 (three years ago)
Not surprising, but maybe try to look at it this way: she dated Marlon Brando for many years (not sure if it was ever mentioned on the other thread), that could turn anyone.

citation needed, i always imagined him as more of a crank and barlow the asshole. this is based entirely on song lyrics.

Lou has always been a nice guy in my interactions with him. Have seen a few on-stage meltdowns (though long in the past now).

Take me a split second to realize you meant Lou...Barlow.

I knew nothing about Al Capp except that he wrote that comic, just read up a little and...... wow
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 18 February 2022 16:52 (three years ago)
I knew enough just from hearing Dick Cavett talk about him along with the John and Yoko stuff.
― Solaris Ocean Blue (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 18 February 2022 16:57 (three years ago)
It kinda feels wrong to label both Lennon and Capp with the same pejorative when you see that footage of them together. Capp is an asshole an a whole nother level.

There should be a German word for the type of asshole that Miles Davis and Prince were, where its like, they don't suffer fools but are mostly forgivable because they are cool and funny and geniuses

Boyd Rice is more an idiotic provocateur, which is asshole-ish enough in itself but apparently he's a personable enough guy when he's out of character. Hardly compares with, say, John Noakes.
