ANOTHER SHORT, ANOTHER STARLET

As a kid in the late 60s, my fave actresses were Marta Kristen (Judy) in Lost in Space, Deanna Lund (Valerie) in Land of the Giants, and Bridget Hanley (Candy) with those great 60s hair styles (though set in 1890s Seattle) in Here Come the Brides.  I used to beg our babysitter to let me stay up to watch Bridget (and yes Bobby Sherman in those tight pants).  One time I got the poor girl in trouble as she let me stay up in exchange for keeping my silencet about her friends who came over. Next morning my parents kept saying they smelled something funny and I blurted out , “Oh, Donna’s friends were smoking last night.”  I got a big mouth!

Below is a clip then of Bridget and below a clip from her new short film Reunited that will be in competition with Marlyn Mason’s The Bag at the LA Short Film Festival.

MAGICAL TINA

In 1986  Hal Linden starred as a magician in the short-lived mystery series Blacke’s Magic. Below is part 1 of the episode “Death Goes to the Movies” featuring Tina Louise playing a TV actress typecast as the sexpot (art imitating life?) who desperately thinks her current film project is her last shot for movie stardom. The producer refuses to cut her nude seduction scene and when he turns up dead, she is one of the prime suspects.

Tina once again proves she was one of Hollywood’s most underrated actresses and there was more to her than just Ginger Grant. Kudos to her for going after varied roles over the years the minute Gilligan’s Island ended unlike Dawn Wells who is still doing the series–almost 45 years later!
