For a wonderful holiday treat, you must visit Francine York’s web site. Still gorgeous, Francine wishes you a Merry Christmas in an outrageous, endearing style only a true ’60s starlet can muster. Watch her one-woman video featurette and you’ll laugh, cry, and gape in amazement. Francine is truly one of a kind and a very sweet lady to boot! I love her! Happy Holidays!
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 artist Charles Robinson in the comedy Dear Brigitte (1965) starring James Stewart. [In the film’s poster art from Heritage Movie Posters Jane Wald is pictured at left.]
Today, Jane , a voting member of the Academy Awards, resides in Los Angeles and spends most of her time traveling the world. She still maintains contact with her show business friends including Deanna Lund, BarBara Luna, and Hope Holiday.
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 this vicious rumor. She still lives in Malibu and had just returned from London where she, Stella Stevens, and Pamela Sue Martin were special guests at a tribute for The Poseidon Adventure.
Speaking of which, that mini-series that aired recently was God-awful!!! Here’s hoping the big screen Poseidon is better. But curses on both their houses since neither approached Carol, Stella, and Pamela Sue to appear in cameo roles!!!
HELP!!!
I’ve finally settled on 45 actresses to be included in my new book and below are a list of gals that I cannot find any contact information for despite my exhaustive search. MIA are
Pamela Austin, Bettina Brenna, Eve Bruce, Arlene Charles, Suzanne Charny, Corinne Cole, Jo Collins, Dee Duffy, Anitra Ford (above), Marianne Gaba, Mary Grover, Ena Hartman, Susan Holloway, Teri Hope, Alena Johnston, China Lee, Jacki Ray (a.k.a. former Mrs. Tom Selleck), Pamela Rodgers, Corinna Tsopei, Jan Watson, and Delores Wells.
If any one has any leads or contact information for these starlets at-large and can share, please let me know.
