Bert Schneider, his partner in the independent production company Raybert, began kicking around the idea of a television show about a band “more interested in having fun than making a living”. Their Variety ad seeking “4 insane boys, [aged] 17-21” was answered by 437 hopefuls, and the successful applicants – Davy Jones, Mike Nesmith, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork – were dispatched on a six-week improv course.

“Everybody Thought We Were Crazy” (Ecco) by Mark Rozzo.The house, known as just “1712,” was owned by actress Brooke Hayward and her enfant terrible husband Hopper during eight tumultuous years of marriage, and filled to the brim with her found objects and his collection of contemporary art that, as Joan Didion remarked, “seems the result of some marvelous scavenger hunt.” The house “embodied the collision of Old Hollywood and New, of chic bohemia and burgeoning counterculture,” Rozzo writes, where you could as easily run into the Black Panthers as Jack Nicholson. Jane Fonda called it “a magical house.”But with magic sometimes comes monsters.1712 was also where Hopper unraveled.

Full speed ahead: Sandra Bullock admitted she was still embarrassed to have made the decision to sign on to star in the '97 flop Speed 2: Cruise Control even more than two decades after the release of the filmThe actors were given the question: 'If you could, name a project that you maybe were once embarrassed about, or maybe jaded or cynical, but came around to once you saw how it was embraced by fans.' Bullock had no problem coming up with an answer, but noted very few people were in theater seats to see her on screen again as Annie, the spunky passenger who previously stepped up to help LAPD officer Jack (Reeves) drive a metro bus— and group of unknowing passengers— to safety while cruising through the streets of Los Angeles at a speed of at least 50 mph as to not set off explosives created by former bomb squad member Howard Payne (played by Dennis Hopper.)'You stumped me with the fans coming around later on,' Bullock jokingly replied about her movie, which also starred Jason Patric, Willem Dafoe, Temuera Morrison and Glenn Plummer.
