| | | just remembered an interesting story i saw on harold lloyd some years ago on the telly ... apparently , midway through his career , he was involved in an accident with a prop bomb which he was holding in his hand.
the bomb went off and blew some of his fingers off - the last two of his left hand i believe ...
if you watch closely in his later films , apparently you can see that his left hand is fitted with a very tight-fitting 'plastic' glove which has two false fingers on it but still allows him to move his remaining fingers ...
last time i told that story at a party , the man next to me had missing fingers ... HIDEOUSLY embarassing - as were the resulting tumbleweeds that blew through the room ...
i hasten to add that i had NOT noticed his missing fingers prior to the story ...
still LOVE harold lloyd though |
