LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS A CABARET

Over the weekend a crane fell off a construction site in the Sutton Place area of New York City and smashed into an apartment and and 5-story townhouse. A number of people tragically lost their lives and for a short period actress Jill Haworth was thought to be one of them when she turned up missing. She lives in a corner apartment where a portion of the craned crashed. Thankfully Jill was evacuated and her frantic niece was able to locate her.

The British blonde made her film debut in Otto Preminger’s Exodus (1960) and went on to work for him again in The Cardinal (1963) and In Harm’s Way (1965). But she is best remebered as the original Sally Bowles in the smash Broadway musical Cabaret from 1966 to 1968. Jill has lived in the same apartment since 1966.

One of my favorite shows as a kid was the lightweight spy adventure It Takes a Thief starring Robert Wagner. I saw the show in reruns during the mid-Seventies. Wagner is extremely handsome as master thief Al Mundy who is paroled and goes to work for the SIA (Secret Intelligence Agency). Each week his mission dictated by Noah Bain (Malachi Throne) is to steal something for the government. Far-fetched yes but oh so entertaining.

The show is also a who’s who of Sixties starlets. Click here to watch an episode with Francine York (who had a recurring role during the first half of the first season as Mundy’s parole officer) and guest star Tina Louise as well as other first season episodes.

WHAT WOULD GILLIGAN SAY!?!

Probably “Don’t bogart that joint.” Dawn “Maryann” Wells was arrested for marijuana possession just as her late Gilligan’s Island co-star Bob Denver was charged a few years before he passed away. Now it all makes sense why Maryann’s pies were the hit of the island. Dawn claims the pot found in her car was a friend’s and her erratic driving was because she was trying to get the heater to work. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

I guess Tina Louise now has the last laugh after being put down by Dawn time after time. Click here for further details and to glimpse Dawn Well’s mug shot from the big doll house.
