Human Frailty...

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

I saw this article rec'd on a facebook page, so clicked on it and read it.  It's actually from 2007, so probably something a lot of people have seen before.  The thing that stood out to me was a couple of things Robert Vaughn said regarding the night he got the script on UNCLE.  He says he and a friend picked up a couple of 'floozies', and later mentions that again in reference to utilizing the charms he used to seduce them as an acting tool for portraying Solo.
I know he is a product of his times, and perhaps he didn't think referring to women as floosies sounded hypocritical alongside the very obvious reality of his own promiscuity (in this instance), but reading it I had a rather negative reaction to him and to his point of view.  All of this from a man who later says it didn't even bother him for the show to be cancelled because he was so wrapped up in the anti-war movement.
Again, a little self-centered considering a slew of people were put out of work with the cancellation of MFU.
Am I being a little too critical?  Maybe, and it doesn't keep me from being a fangirl for the show.  But it does tend to add weight to my preference for David McCallum as a real life person, based on the bits and pieces I know about him.
So, any thoughts on the subject?  Any rebuttals to my impressions of the article and what is reported there?  I'm curious, and I can forgive Robert Vaughn for his seemingly, to use a word that gets tossed around quite a bit, misogynistic attitude.  I'm sure he repented and changed his ways with age and maturity.

The ABC Affair has had a great first two weeks, the stories are outstanding and the participation very encouraging.  Thanks to everyone who keeps churning out those ABC's.    We'll only have another week until the big Z, something I'm sure we're all looking forward to (and trying to figure out what to do with a Z).
Keep it up gang, it's going great so far.

"Woof!" for WRITER'S AND READER'S CHOICE!

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Though this was a recently posted story, some of you may have missed it as it was a WIP that ran into some delays, in part due to my computer breaking.

So here it is in full...a pseudo murder mystery that pairs Napoleon Solo with a very diffeent partner, plus there's a few, surprise but brief crossovers as well.

Napoleon finds himself involved with some surprising 'bedfellows' while tasked to solve a good old fashioned murder mystery. This story has multiple (but brief) crossovers. It's not a super long read, just over 10,000 words.
