She tried to put the moves on Kevin Grant (Peter Haskell*).<br /><br />Fabares' aunt was Nanette Fabray (née Fabares), who played Mary Richards' (Mary Tyler Moore) mother in two episodes of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, including an episode where Mary comes home after staying out the whole night, suggesting (ahem) non-innocence.<br /><br />And then Peter Haskell* had a date with Mary Richards in MTM season 3 in episode 2 "What Is Mary Richards Really Like" in which he asks if he can spend the night. She is taken aback and says no, whereupon Haskell flips her off with an "OK, see ya'" and walks out.David Kenilworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986313219990188387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-23976533362920372152017-03-06T16:15:44.281-05:002017-03-06T16:15:44.281-05:00This article on Gloria Stavers and the history of ...This article on Gloria Stavers and the history of 16 Magazine has a lot of other amazing info:<br /><br />http://www.austinchronicle.com/music/2007-11-30/565815/<br /><br />Wouldja believe that the mag was started by a Frenchman who was Grace Metalious' literary agent, and was funded by the bucks he made off "Peyton Place"?hschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788554330108647969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-36196180088114660322017-03-06T13:47:57.277-05:002017-03-06T13:47:57.277-05:00Richard Chamberlain,Johnny Mathis and Cliff Richar...Richard Chamberlain,Johnny Mathis and Cliff Richard? you could call this the closet case issue (then again everyone was in the closet back then). I puzzled over "Crawford" on the cover but later read it was Johnny Crawford, it would be strange to imagine Joan on the cover of a teen mag, as according to "Feud" that I am watching, she was offered Elvis' Granny at this point.<br />Chad Everett and James Franciscus are the dreamiest of all the dreamboats in this issue.<br />Glad you mentioned the whiteness, the only black faces are in the music section. very "Hairspray" as is Dee Dee Sharp. I listen to her "Give Me Gravy" all the time. Great song.<br />LOL about highlighting tv shows. What could be wrong with that? I do it every month to the TCM guide(at my desk at work!)<br />This was so fun and I love when you do these vintage finds. Total glimpse into the past, and actually one of my favorite periods.Gingerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989371210392669145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-56855079969878838272017-03-06T08:33:16.693-05:002017-03-06T08:33:16.693-05:00Petercox, I will keep trying with Hayley and I'...Petercox, I will keep trying with Hayley and I'm already on board with Sandra. But I cannot deny that I L-O-V-E Lana Turner! "Imitation of Life" is in the pipeline for a tribute here sometime...! LOL about all your "Bonanza" fantasies! I recall reading Alison Arngrim's book and seeing her interviewed about how Landon eschewed any underwear during "Little House!" Pa was packin'! Hopefully you clicked on James Franciscus' name for some great pictures of him in his loincloth!<br /><br />Thanks, fandex and Glen, for the information on those '60s singers.<br /><br />Angelman, glad you liked this! These vintage 16 magazines have pretty solid content, which surprised me. A decent array of pics, information and the two color pinups per issue. <br /><br />Hsc, my God! Thank you so much for providing all that backstory of the elusive "GeeGee!" I'm grateful to you for filling in the blanks on that (and then some!) I have "The Idolmaker" on VHS (!) and I recalled Tovah Feldshuh in the movie, but somehow completely blanked out on Maureen being in it AT ALL. Now I want to drag it out again and watch once more. I thought Peter Gallagher was very cute then. <br /><br />Skippy! I would think that after more than 50 years, those addresses would have way different occupants. But it would be funny to do if you enclosed a copy of the listing as "proof" that you were sending it to the correct place. Don't forget to enclose a dollar!

Wonder if any of these fan club presidents are still around. Can you imagine sending a letter to one of these addresses and ask if one could join their fan club?

"Georgia Winters," credited as "Editor" on the contents page and letter column. You can see her as "Georgia" posed with Mickey Mantle (her rumored lover at the time) in "GeeGee's New York Buzz" gossip page.<br /><br />Stavers was practically a one-woman show at 16. She not only edited, she wrote (or rewrote) most of the text (Lynn Loring was probably only involved as a celeb name/face on the column). And she even did most of the photography, including some now-iconic shots of Jim Morrison.<br /><br />"The Idolmaker" (1980), a fictionalized version of the man who created teen sensations Frankie Avalon and Fabian, features an unflattering portrayal of Gloria Stavers, who was generally considered by those who worked under her to be a bitch from hell.<br /><br />And bizarrely, this Stavers stand-in was played by Marcia Brady herself, Maureen McCormick! <br /><br />---<br />BTW, I got to work with Tony Bill on a movie he directed about 25 years after this issue came out. He actually looked even better with age.<br />hschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788554330108647969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-23251605202937345362017-03-04T07:22:31.584-05:002017-03-04T07:22:31.584-05:00Yayyy, Poseidon, I LOVE these amazing magazine tim...Yayyy, Poseidon, I LOVE these amazing magazine time capsules - you are BRILLIANT to show ALL the articles, it immerses you in the era.

In ...I am a huge fan of Haley Mills and Sandra Dee. In fact, just last night I was considering purchasing The Trouble with Angels dvd just to relive Haley in what I think is one of her finer performances. Sandra Dee had such a terrible real life that I cannot muster any disdain for her and I loved her in Imitation of Life when she told Lana Turner off. Something about Lana Turner drives me straight to the liquor cabinet. I can't muster much affection for Dick Chamberlain although I did enjoy him in the Thornbirds mostly because one of my favorite actresses, Barbara Stanwyck, seduced him into selling his soul. He's also quite good in an episode of Boris Karloff's Thriller.<br /><br />I will always love Michael Landon and his siblings from the Ponderosa. When I was a kid I used to imagine snuggling in bed next to Lorne Greene. He will always be one of Hollywood's most handsome men. Pernell Roberts was a complicated man and I find his complexity sexy. Had I been Mr. Olson on Little House on the Prairie Charles Ingalls could have gotten anything from my mercantile in trade. I envy Jonathan Garvey when he and Charles were snuggled up together during the night, exhausted from following Andrew and Albert on their adventure to prove they were men. When is someone going to release an official copy of I Was A Teenage Werewolf? B-movie though it may be, Landon is fantastic in it.<br /><br />Johnny Crawford. I will always remember him as the kid from the Rifleman which I also just ordered Season 3 Vol 2. One of my favorite episodes is one where Michael Landon saves young Mark from falling off a cliff.<br /><br />James Franciscus. What a gorgeous looking man. He wore the loincloth in the Planet of the Apes franchise far better than that gun-wielding gorilla Heston. And Franciscus gets bonus points for featuring Bruce Lee in Longstreet.petercox97https://www.blogger.com/profile/05818754297522029991noreply@blogger.com
