    Yes. I had a crush on Vanessa Lindores and Christine McGlade. My sister had a crush on Kevin Kubusheskie

    Also Alanis Morrisette got her start on that show.

    So that's why the Tarzan legend has been around so long, he was an immortal! :D

    Tarzan first appeared in 1912, in a magazine story..and has been going strong ever since...so yeah...he probably is immortal...next year will be his 100th year....

    Wonder if there's anything special planned.......or will he be forgotten.....


    Fun Fact: Caspar van Dien (Rico of Starship Troopers) is nicknamed "Tarzan".....

    Uh...why?

    In our special collections, we have a couple of early prints of Tarzan.

    Pretty nice.
    Though, I wonder what LilRave thinks of Vangelis, as she does alot of music via keyboards and synths (and she is really good, I enjoy her work), which was something he really brought to popularity in movies like Chariots of Fire (1981) and Blade Runner (1982).

    I dunno why. I was just looking up Tarzan on IMDB and it said it. Apparently he's also the 20th Tarzan (Tarzan and the Lost City)

    Well, that makes sense, lol.
    I am kind of mixed on his acting though. Thought he really fit his role in Starship Troopers, but really havn't seen him fit in other roles very well. Kind of like Billy Zane, enjoyed him as The Phantom, but seems to try too hard in other roles.

    Keyboards?

    Direct her to Jean-Michel Jarre, even if his career started in the 70s ( remember "Oxygen" ? ), same with Mike Oldfield. "Five miles out" is not something to sneeze at.

    A group that took good advantage of keyboards, Ultravox:

    80s are the age of techno and The Golden Age of videoclips.

    Even some heavy metal groups tried their hands at doing music with keyboards added. Some fans hated it, and some loved it, as always. Judas priest and their "Turbo Lover" come to mind.

    Another female singer, though the song is from 1979:

    Yes, this goddess pre-dates Madonna. And she still sings, AFAIK.

    Both are mediocre actors that really got lucky with a handful of roles....That's true.

    Neither will ever be Oscar winners I guess...but they both have their fans. And Caspar van Dien is actually a Soap Opera actor...and he's got a strong fanbase from that.

    True...
    too bad they are cancelling two more soaps by 2012.
