I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death.

Maybe it's time to finally show The Running Man at the marathon.

I've advocated for showing RUNNING MAN over the years. Nothing great, but decent enough. Not to mention a clear fore-runner to THE HUNGER GAMES. Prints have played L.A. over the years.

Richard Dawson
also had parts in the Outer Limits episode "The Invisibles" as well as the MUNSTERS spin-off movie, MUNSTER GO HOME.

Trivia Question: What bit player on Hogan's Heroes caught Hank Aaron's 715th home run that broke Babe Ruth's all-time record? Hint, he later played for the Sox and admitted doing 'Roids.

Richard's greatest success may have been marrying and having two children with British Actress Diana Dors (1931-1984).

Frequently described as the British Marilyn Monroe, (but actually her film career predates Marilyn's), Diana can be seen on the lower right of the Beatles' Sgt. Peppers album. She continued working until her death on comedies, mysteries, horror films and this famous stinker:

First they moved (1895)! Then they talked (1927)! Now they smell!

And, don't forget Richard Dawson's psychedelic 60s song APPLES & ORANGES!

Bonus points to R.F. if he pulls that one out at the Marathon next year!

Now you've got me thinking...
"Dickie Dawson" as he was then known, did a lot of songs as a regular on his wife's variety show.

Here they team up with Shirley Jones and Jack Cassidy:

He's going in the database right now. Wink
