CAROL LYNLEY MEETS COUSIN OLIVER!

The highly rated made-for TV movie Having Babies II (1977) centered around Susan Sullivan as an obstetrician with four stories about her patients including Paula Prentiss as a pill popping TV model who winds up accidentally pregnant.

Carol Lynley played a young woman, who told she can never bare a child, fosters with her husband (Cliff Gorman) a troubled young boy, The Brady Bunch’s cousin Oliver, Robbie Rist. When she discovers she is miraculously pregnant, she and her husband are elated but cousin Oliver turns hostile. In a desperate act, he sabotages the rung of his treehouse and calls Lynley to come up there to show her something. Click below to see what happens.

LUNA LANDING

Former 60s starlet BarBara Luna was in New York City recently to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Broadway musical South Pacific and to also attend a Q&A about the show at the Lincoln Center Barnes & Noble. Had I know, I would have announced it and perhaps even attended!

Luna made her Broadway debut playing Ngana, one of Emile de Becque’s small children. All the remaining cast and crew members from the original production were brought on stage after one of the revival’s performances. Click here to see photos from the reunion.

HE’LL WRANGLE NO MORE

Sadly, one of my favorite porn stars died this week, Jack Wrangler. During the early 80s my family bought the delux cable TV package that incuded HBO, Cinemax, and the Playboy Channel. I would get my cheap thrills watching straight porn movies on Playboy that had all the hardcore scenes edited out. Immediately rugged, handsome Jack Wrangler with his lean hard body became my fave. He could really act, which I found quite surprising, and was just so damn sexy. I’d tape all his movies (The Filthy Rich and Jack and Jill standout) hoping a shot of him fully erect would sneak by the Playboy censors. Alas it rarely happened.

Believe it or not, to this day, I have never seen any of Jack’s gay porn movies or uncensored straight ones (though I read his autobiography and recently watched the documentary about him). I think this says a lot about the man’s talents for a porn actor to have a big fan who never saw him fully in the sex act. Click here to read more and see an undraped Jack Wrangler in all his glory. Damn, I got to get me some of his movies!!!
