On 08 Mar 10 | John and the Donlands Theatre |
|
| Hello, The City of Toronto has a plaque program where they recognise places that were special to famous Torontonians. John grew up near the old Donlands Theatre in East York. The Theatre building still stands. Does anyone know if there is any documentation of John explaining that he spent many afternoons in the Theatre; an early inspiration to his acting career. I understand there may be a film clip of John in front of the Theatre reminiscing about its importance to his career. A plaque at the old Theatre building honouring John would be fitting. Any leads?

On 28 Sep 09 | looking for a movie with akroyd/candy |
|
| could have been a tv show... all I remember was dan akroyd and john candy getting on a motorcycle and riding into the sunset. I think candy was wearing a dress and akroyd a leather jacket. It's a very faint memory, so I might be wrong... but I'm pretty sure about the motorcycle.
Any clues are much appreciated.
thx |

On 17 Apr 09 | GIVE JOHN CANDY HIS STAR! |
|
| It's disheartening that the "celebrities" of today are getting a star based on popularity rather than actual talent. I thought a Hollywood star meant more than that.
For me, John Candy was a big staple in my childhood. Saturday mornings were dedicated to "Camp Candy", and if a movie was on that he was in, I HAD to watch it.
Of my favorites were "Summer Rental", "The Great Outdoors", "Who's Harry Crumb?", "Only the Lonely", "Nothing But Trouble"...but the number one spot stands strong with "Planes, Trains & Automobiles".
His performance as Del Griffith was hilarious, heartbreaking, and so real...I just can't shake the feeling that the lovable qualities in that character were not very far off from who he really was.
If anybody deserves a frickin' star on that Walk of Fame, John Franklin Candy does.
RIP
