A celebrity who has grown older gracefully, no noticeable surgery and just took on the roles akin to his real age group and played them with style 👍

Left to right:
Bea Benaderet as the voice of Betty Rubble, Jean Vander Pyl as the voice of Wilma Flintstone, Alan Reed as the voice of Fred Flintstone, and Mel Blanc as the voice of Barney Rubble and Dino.
Together, they brought life to the modern stone age TV family

I can’t understand why I had a crush on Lois Lane ? Maybe at that stage of my
life she was female and breathing ! Lol.

You never know Hal...She may have been waiting for her own Superman!

Which Lois. There were two. As a very young bloke I wasn’t too fussy. Either would do.

I was referring to the one in the earlier pick with Superman, Jimmy and Perry.
Great Cesar’s ghost man, don’t you get it !

That girl was Noel Neill. In the first season of The George Reeves Superman series, Lois was played by an actress named Phyllis Coates. To a very young lad either version of Lois would have been very acceptable.

Cricket’s Eternal Voice
From ABC Radio’s first broadcast in 1935 ➝ to five decades behind the mic

While many storytellers faded, Alan McGilvray became the standard.
His iconic call still echoes through time:

“Four more to Bradman. A century in 130 minutes, a glorious innings by this Australian, and Australia is now building herself into a very sound position.”

Commentator. Author. Icon.

His legacy still shapes the game—wherever the willow sings, his voice remains.
