I thought the models for the poster were very good-looking indeed and should have been more handsomely paid! :-)Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/06317685234938531129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-22658593687867812752021-01-05T18:58:31.232-05:002021-01-05T18:58:31.232-05:00Hoo Boy!

I'm years too late to this party, but having been on a Liz binge (and to check if you've written about BOOM!, I had to thank you for that last image of the "revised" CLEOPATRA artwork. It's hilarious. It looks like Rex just popped up from under her bed declaring, "Aha! Caught you red-handed!" <br />It's so absurd it's marvelous!Ken Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940648971296673233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-28079575068119215492017-10-06T12:55:50.832-04:002017-10-06T12:55:50.832-04:00Thank you, Al!

May have cleared it out at some point.<br /><br />Gingerguy, I echo your surprise about the Angie Dickinson blurb. I mean, Rio Bravo was in 1959 and in 1960 she costarred with Richard Burton in The Bramble Bush, followed by movies all her own (The Sins of Rachel Cade and Jessica) in 1961 and 1962! And for my money, Rome Adventure (1962) was a career highlight... Believe it or not, Connie Stevens and Eddie Fisher didn't wed until 1967. One thing I always liked about her is that when her ex-husband James Stacy lost an arm and a leg in a motorcycle accident, she spearheaded some of the fundraising to help him out, though his life was - understandably - never the same.Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-55718069630597494102017-10-05T11:16:20.865-04:002017-10-05T11:16:20.865-04:00These magazines really make the 60's come aliv...These magazines really make the 60's come alive. Regarding the Cleopatra poster I always assume if it's not a photo the drawing is idealized a bit. Regardless, Liz at 30 was pretty dishy.<br />Angie Dickinson did't hit it big until 1964? I know she did one Broadway show before that. I always liked that her biggest successes came later in life, I think she was in her forties on "Policewoman" and was very sexy in the campy "Dressed To Kill" at 50. <br />Was Henry Karl the one that Debbie thought tried to kill her one night, or was that the next one? either way that story about the wife was pretty sad.<br />I think Barbara Eden's hair is very practical for a picnic, she could take a nap after lunch and use it as a pillow.<br />Love the photo of Ann Bancroft getting the Oscar news. She really deserved it, the added Joan Crawford drama was pretty crazy.<br />If Connie Stevens got married in 1963 it can't have been for too long as she married Eddie Fisher after Liz got Dick.<br />Lol "the boy who's black" that is super crazy. Fun finds indeed.Gingerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989371210392669145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-64398078651237336982017-10-04T21:13:58.139-04:002017-10-04T21:13:58.139-04:00I think the Jim Backus shower scene in Mad, Mad, M...I think the Jim Backus shower scene in Mad, Mad, Mad, etc., involved Mickey Rooney and Buddy Hackett putting him in the shower to sober him up so he could fly them to the buried treasure.Al in PDXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08835073077514498840noreply@blogger.com
