Jose Ferrer golf sketches bring joy to rabid golferrers around the globe

Friday May 12, 2006 | 09:52:09 am 278 words, 2034 views  

If you’re anything like me, you find nearly all aspects of life completely unbearable with the exception of two things – golf and legendary, deceased actor Jose Ferrer.


Swoon, I say. Swoon!

Now, thanks to Yahoo Auctions, we “golferrer’s” (as we prefer to be called) finally get to see our two obsessions combined. Yes, for almost a stupidly insane low price, you can be the owner of authentic golf sketches by the renowned super-latino.

Why Jose Ferrer? Well, if not Jose Ferrer, than who?? Are you people blind? I’m talking Jose Ferrer here.

The Jose Ferrer Files

Jose Ferrer: Who twice married and divorced Rosemary Clooney (the Beyonce of her day), having five children.

“I love Joe’s brain, and the way he won’t accept any slipshod thinking from me. He has great respect for what he calls my womanly intuition, but he won’t let stupidity pass for femininity,” Clooney once said of the great man.

Jose Ferrer: Uncle of super-hot, mega-important actor George Clooney (who was apparently named for an affectionate basset hound owned by … wait for it … Jose Ferrer).

Jose Ferrer: Who starred as the flamboyant attorney Reuben Marino on the soap opera Another World.

Jose Ferrer: A man whose last name means “to shoe” in French.

Jose Ferrer: Father of Miguel Ferrer, the tremendous actor and avid golfer who is so much more than the villain he so often portrays.

Jose Ferrer: Whose real name was Jose Vincente Ferrer de Otero y Cintron.

Yes, that Jose Ferrer. So act now, or these priceless doodles will be gone forever, highlighted in the home of some other golferrer.

Jose Ferrer: Because life’s too short not to worship him.

Perhaps the biggest moment in Jose's career was when he b*tch-slapped cowardly back-stabber Fred MacMurray in The Caine Mutiny. That was even better than his cross-examination of psycho-captain Humphrey Bogart. What an unforgettable, booming voice he had!

Who knew Miggy had his own web page??? Pretty good father-son acting combo there.

Wow, I wonder what someone will pay for my golf-inspired sketches? I can certainly draw equally as well but then again I'm not Jose Ferrer (or in my case Rosemary Clooney).

Hey, that's me, STACY, writing above!

I think Barry must have swiped my laptop! He doesn't even LOOK like Rosemary Clooney ;-)

José Ferrer was considered for the role of the Joker in TV's "Batman". Glad it never happened, but would have been a fascinating performance.
