These guys made it as actors, but it took decades;
Gene Hackman's most famous roommates were fellow legendary actors Dustin Hoffman and Robert Duvall, with whom he shared cramped New York City apartments in the late 1950s and 1960s while they were struggling to find acting work, forming a tight-knit trio of future stars before they became household names. They supported each other, scrounged for jobs, and even argued over acting methods, creating a legendary shared history in the acting world.
Key Details about Their Roommate Days:
The Crew: Hackman, Hoffman, and Duvall were all Southern California natives who met at the Pasadena Playhouse and later found themselves in NYC.
Living Conditions: They shared modest apartments, with Hoffman famously sleeping on the kitchen floor of Hackman's place initially before they all moved in together.
Shared Struggles: They experienced the lean times of struggling actors, taking on menial jobs and honing their craft.
Iconic Trio: They are remembered as an inseparable group, often called the "three musketeers," whose combined careers later earned numerous accolades.

If you still like growth, put it in SMH. You're diversified but in growth. Be sure you fully fund your Roth every year too.

My son is a pilot in the Air Force, based in Spokane (was in Colorado Springs while at the academy). He has a wife, plenty of money, and could drive anything he'd like, but chose a Subaru (the wife has one too). They are great cars. Reliable, fuel efficient, roomy and practical in places you need AWD to drive the roads in bad weather. Y'all keep saying it's just for lesbians and look dumb.
re: How bad is the real estate market in BR?

The price of your home doubled from 2019. You paid too much for it in the bidding war. And it faces a busy street. Time for an adjustment or stay in the house.

re: Do any states still require front license plates?
Posted by RedlandsTiger on 11/27/25 at 8:45 am to NoHoTiger
I never put my front license plate on when I lived in California. But I carried it in the trunk incase I ever was stopped by a cop. (I didn't like the look.) I never was stopped in the 17 years I had the car.
re: U.S. Military no longer supporting Scouts
Posted by RedlandsTiger on 11/25/25 at 3:10 pm to biglego
That must have been Cub Scouts. Boy Scouts start at 11 years old. As everyone has pointed out, you need to get involved in a Pack or Troop and make it better. It's about building a culture that's engaging and fun. And along the way the kids become more self confident, adventurous and better citizens. Parental involvement is prime.

It's a great time to be a blue-collar worker. Electricians, plumbers, mechanics make bank. The problem is people don't like to work hard, study and do the right thing.

No. My wife had more money then me when we married, and she's 3 1/2 years younger than me. And we've been married 47 years.
re: Serious Question: What was Brian Kelly good at?
Posted by RedlandsTiger on 11/20/25 at 4:14 pm to DeathByTossDive225
Kelly fired Tommy Moffit, and we know what T A&M did to us physically. He fired Blake Baker, and had had to hire him back to have a decent defense. He became arrogant and lazy once he came to LSU. He thought he had made it, and was smarter than everyone else. I would have never predicted it. I was sure he was a Saban-like coach. I was wrong. Nick was never satisfied, he was always thinking about getting better. Did you see photos of Saban hoisting the 2003 National Championship trophy? He couldn't smile, he was already thinking about next year.

Wednesday's senior day at Supercuts on Sherwood; $12.95 and a $5 tip. Tonja is funnier than a crap. She always has a funny story to tell during the haircut.

You got that right, Brussel sprouts are the worst vegetable ever boiled. But broiled-roasted, they are the best.
