Title: Who was the Original ... ?
Post by: Lori Dee on September 07, 2024, 01:59:17 PM
A lot of movies and TV shows have been remade with new actors and actresses to make the TV show or movie more up-to-date for the next generation.

Who do you think did it best, or who will always be the original ...?

I'll start.

Adam West was THE Batman.
Julie Newmar was THE Catwoman.
Rhona Mitra was THE Lara Croft, Tomb Raider.

What are your originals?

In my early teen years I watched a lot of Roger Moore as The Saint.  I was thrilled when he inherited the 007 franchise. Roger Moore didn't try to imitate Sean Connery, I think that's why it worked.  I enjoyed both of them as 007 for different reasons.

Lots of great 007 theme songs from that era too.

Ricardo Mantalban was awesome.  I still remember sitting in the theater when Chekov read "SS Botney Bay" off the life ring.  Until then the name Khan didn't ring a bell, then it when ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ....... omg.

William Shatner was great in Boston Legal.  If you haven't seen the series, I highly recommend it.  Betty White has a great part in the second or third season too.
