Kidding aside, Janet, I'm guessing Pernell's leaning was an acting technique he learned on the stage. It's a posture that draws attention to the body (not that his body needs attention drawn to it ;) and therefore draws the audience's attention to that particular actor. Makes him stand out in a group of actors on stage.

Welcome to Boomers. I'm a Newbie too.
As for Adam leaning...I think it's all those heavy muscles. Makes it hard for him to remain upright :adam I'm a big fan of the muscles and the leaning.
And I'm sure you'll enjoy it here

Heh. I have an idea that Pernell was a lazy... well lazy. But I adore him. From what I've read, he seemed to have been a wicked (yes, I'm from the Boston area), sort. I just can't can't over how handsome he was. He must have been beating the girls off with a stick.

Interesting. Like Claude Rains when he moves his fingers. If you're a fan of old films and Claude Rains, you will notice him doing this and he said he did it to draw attention to himself. Same thing. I am getting to know Pernell so much here. And I have an idea that he was a fan of old movies. I can't recall the episode I was watching, but his mannerisms were close to Laurel & Hardy. And as he grew up in that time frame, I bet he was a huge fan of comedy.
