After having no power since Thursday afternoon because of Tropical Storm Fay I am finally online again. I must say I much prefer Fay Wray to TS Fay, but there was a typhoon heading to Hong Kong and I wonder if their is a name connection there. Though I did get a lot of reading done.

TV EXCHANGE: Adams had 'Screen Test' show
Detroit Free Press (Free subscription) | 21/06/2008
QUESTION: I remember a TV show from the mid-1970s that no one else seems to recall. Aspiring actors would re-create scenes from famous movies. The original scene was shown, and then the actors would perform it live. Could you tell me the name of the show?

We are referring, of course, to The Look -- the inevitable moment when the camera glides relentlessly toward the face of a character (usually, but not always, an actress) who has suddenly gone all wide-eyed, staring at some unimaginable weirdness...
