R.I.P.
Sadly, handsome blonde hunk Dennis Cole, one of the hottest actors for me from 60s/70s Hollywood, died recently in Florida. Most famous for his 3 year stint on the late 60s TV series Felony Squad, I remember him from the series Bracken’s World and his many TV guest appearances throughout the 70s.

Tina Louise long ago proved there was more to her than just slinky Ginger Grant on Gilligan’s Island (the ill-fated, tennis-loving housewife Charmaine in The Stepford Wives or the tough Lesbian prison guard in the TV-movie Nightmare in Badham County, anyone?). Today’s Tina teaches reading to NYC school kids and is a bestselling author of children’s picture books. Below is a preview for her next book.
