I thought as I interview the starlets for my new book, I’d update the fans on what they are doing now. First up is Jane Wald. Never a leading lady, Jane‘s most memorable roles were the beatnik friend of Paul Newman‘s in What a Way to Go starring Shirley MacLaine and the bikini-clad wife of […]
It has been “reported” in the tabloids that our lovely Carol Lynley is down-and-out and seriously ill. Horrified, I checked in with my friend and entertainment reporter Nelson Aspen who is pals (lucky guy) with Ms. Lynley. Nelson laughed as he just had lunch with her and reports that Carol is fine and well, squelching […]

Thordis danced with Elvis in Spinout (1966), was one of the Amazons trying to take over the world in the spy spoof In Like Flint (1967), […]
While it is obvious that Carol Lynley is one of my favorite sixties starlets of all time (see previous post), readers may remember that Diane Baker is one of my least favorites. Not particular beautiful and giving one bland performance after another it is mind boggling to me that she still gets work! Check out […]
