I am finally back to blogging. Been working on my new book and believe it or not have dug up about another 35 ’60s actresses to profile. The book is tentatively entitled Glamour Girls of ’60s Hollywood: Playmates, Models, Show Girls and Beauty Queens. I’ve been interviewing some of the sexiest babes to grace the silver screen during the decade and will post some updates.

First the lovely Inga Nielsen who you show queens may recall from her towering roles (she stood 6’3″ in heels) as Gymnasia in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and as the Winter Bride in Funny Girl (above). Surprisingly, Inga had only nice things to say about La Streisand and Babs liked her so much that she requested her to play minor roles in Hello Dolly and Funny Lady.

Inga is still going strong today and has recently cut her first CD of cabaret type songs. Inga’s Love Me with All your Heart would make a great holiday gift for that show queen in your life. Everybody has at least one in their circle so buy the album and support a starlet! See ya!

It’s been awhile since my last post. I have started work on a new book on more 60s starlets. This is a tribute book to the minor players who decorated the background of many a 60s film and TV show. Most of the gals to be included were Slaymates in the Matt Helm films, Glamazons in In Like Flint, show girls in Funny Girl, and molls on Batman. Examples include Thordis Brandt, Inga Neilsen, Jane Wald, Kathy Kersh, Francine York, Margaret Teele, Edy Williams, Phyllis Davis, Marilyn Hanold, etc.

In the Totally Absurd Dept.: There is a big hulaballoo on the Diane Baker IMDB page. If you have read my blogs you know that I found her bland, bland, bland. Well someone (and it wasn’t me folks) wrote a critical bio on her, which you can read here. I say kudos! This person has described her performances and career perfectly! Yes, Baker could be counted on to hit her marks and recite her lines but for me that is all she did. No nuance whatsoever in any of her performances. She is another in along line of overrated 60s actresses such as Stefanie Powers, Jill St. John and Connie Stevens. I said it before and I’ll say it again I’ll take Carol Lynley, Pamela Tiffin, Anjanette Comer, Stella Stevens, and Diane McBain any day over those other gals.
