HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

To Film Fatales’ Alexandra Bastedo! A British lass, she co-starred in the mod James Bond spy spoof Casino Royale on the big screen before starring in the cult ITC television series The Champions, pictured at right. (That’s General Hospital’s Stuart Damon in the center.) Check out a cool trailer for the series on YouTube.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

To Drive-in Dream Girls cover girl Sue Ane Langdon! During the Swinging Sixties, Sue Ane excelled playing brassy broads, greedy golddiggers, or lovable kooks. She lusted after Elvis in Roustabout and Frankie and Johnny never catching him in either film; mooned over Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits in Hold On!; conned rich college boy Harve Presnell in When the Boys Meet the Girls; bared her derriere in The Rounders; and, in my favorite, vamped cheating husbands Walter Matthau and Robert Morse in A Guide for the Married Man.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

To Drive-in Dream Girl, Donna Loren. She was a regular on TV’s Shindig and sang on the shores of Malibu in Muscle Beach Party, Bikini Beach, and Beach Blanket Bingo. Check out her web site and her most rockin’ musical performance from Pajama Party on YouTube. Watch for Susan Hart and Candy Johnson to shimmy by.

For a more mellow Donna Loren, check out her singing a ballad in Beach Blanket Bingo on YouTube. That’s Salli Sachse and Linda Opie at the beginning of the clip. Watch how surfer dude Mike Nader shares his hot dog with his blonde buddy Johnny Fain as Donna sings about a lost love. Makes me go Hmmmmmmmmmm.
