What happened to the actress Melissa Greene, who played Aura Lee Benton in
"Aura Lee, Farewell"? It was episode number 15 from January 3, 1975 with
Lindsay Wagner (as Sara Butler) and Robert Webber (as Senator Evan Murdock).

With any luck, it's in the ground.

That was her last role.

"With any luck, it's in the ground." What is that supposed to mean. "It" meaning "she," and "in the ground" meaning "dead"?

Nice article but I found two minor problems with the timeline:

First, it was written that "She worked as a tour guide at NBC Studios in
the early 1970s. Several years later, walking out of a reading at MGM
for director George Cukor, who was casting Travels with My Aunt, she ran
into casting director, Mike Fenton, in the hall. When he asked what she
was doing there, Greene replied, boldly, that she was now an actress. He
told her he was casting a film called Electra Glide in Blue with Robert
Blake, and having a problem finding the female lead - a Radcliffe
hippie. "

Travels with My Aunt was released in 1972 and Electra Glide in 1973. I
don't think there could be several years between the early 1970s and the
CASTING of movies that were released in 1972 and 1973.

Second: "She even had the opportunity for her own series - a show about
Canadian Mounties in which she screen tested with a then mostly-unknown
carpenter-turned-actor named Harrison Ford and Randy Mantooth, who had
just starred in the popular but short-lived series Emergency!"

Emergency! was on the air for six seasons, hardly short-lived.

Uh, no. Can you read a date in an attribution line?

The troll is posting as mush...@gmail.com. The trolling method is dead
thread revival, by posting a followup to an article from 2004. You fed
the troll by posting a further followup, 'cuz you can't figure out that
the right thing to do is to ignore any attempts to revive threads that
died years ago.

And you know all this worthless minutea because you have no life and spend all your time posting on newsgroups. Only you would know something like this, Kerman. You're just like the nerd who brags about how he spent his Saturday night getting to know his PC's operating system, not even realizing how pathetic it makes him look. You probably wear dark socks with shorts as well.

Wow, Kerman, all this online bravado from you yet this article (see below) in the Chicago Tribune describes you as "meek and rather harmless-looking individual". The reporter was being nice -- what he wanted to say was that you were a pussy but that wouldn't have gotten by his editor, even though it is true and accurate.

Oh, and extremely hypocritical of you being quoted in the article as saying CTA officials should start "behaving like adults". You've never done that your whole life, and your newsgroup posts provide proof Ad nauseam.

Kerman, you are pushing 50 years old and you still live in your mother's basement -- this is not at all impressive. Try spending more time improving yourself and building life skills and less time on newsgroup minutea and maybe, just maybe you might be able to dig yourself out of your useless hole.

Have a nice day!

Huh? The date in question is in the attribution line in the article. It's
been quoted in each of the articles as each followup quoted it. All you
had to do was read it. I've added carots under the year 2004 so perhaps
you'll finally notice what was clear to everyone else.

With no special talent, you could have paid attention to the obvious and
not fed the troll.

The rest of your personal attack was deleted unread.

Kerman, you are a relentless asshole, slacker, and nerd.

Next time you pick a fight with me, don't act like such a pussy when I hit back.

And please don't lie and make yourself look even worse by claiming you did not ready my entire previous post. As Wiseguy pointed out, you would have no way of knowing it was a personal attack unless you read it. By making such a blatantly contradictory statement and not even realizing it, you only further display your lack of intelligence.

Similarly, I'm free to point out Pravda's blatant error in falling for an
obvious troll.

I haven't picked a fight with you. I've pointed out the obvious that you
made a ridiculous error by ignoring a 2004 date in an attribution line, and
that you fell for a troll that everyone else ignored. You got caught being
foolish, and typical Pravda, you respond by being all whiney and defensive.

The rest snipped unread.

What difference does it make how old the post is?

That's like no movie or TV series should be seen again because it's old.

If the question was valid then, it's valid now.

If you don't want to read it, then do your favorite activity:
deleting it without reading it.

And spare us the bother of your responding to it.

Wise, thanks for the support but we've both been around this newsgroup long enough to know that Kerman is hopeless as a human being. He has no life like the rest of us do so stupid little things like newsgroup minutea are very important to him. Of course, the rest of us could care less about these stupid little things because we have so much more going on in our lives. He also thrives on acrimony, so forget about him ever being reasonable. A psychiatrist would have a field day with Kerman. I think Megan Dougherty would find Kerman to be more screwed up than Danny Green/Jackie Tetuska.

Whoosh

You're the one with a serious reading comprehension problem here.

It matters how old the post was 'cuz Pravda CLAIMED, falsely, that a
troll from many years ago trolled this newsgroup again. He failed to
understand that another troll followup tricked him into his own troll-
feeding follow up in a long-dead thread by reviving a thread from 2004.

Do you get it, yet? Pravda CLAIMED that a troll from years ago
began posting to the newsgroup again, when in reality, another troll
quoted an eight-year-old troll article.

Pravda couldn't see "2004" in the attribution line.

All Pravda had to do was own up to his own error. He's yet to do that.
Instead, he gets all defensive and claims he's been attacked, and starts
making personal attacks himself. Pravda made one error. To cover it
up, he made a series of errors. He got you hooked real good. Spit it
out, Wiseguy.

This is what you've been defending in several followups now.

The rest of your post is snipped as it's irrelevant to the issue
at hand, which is Pravda not owning up to his own error.

And if you had a life you would not care about any of this. Nobody else in this newsgroup does. The real problem, Kerman, is that you are a perennial Dick who chose to make a big deal out of nothing. But I guess being a Dick is who you are and what you do. It's apparently the only thing you're any good at.
