Happy Birthday!

To one of our favorite Star Trek gals, BarBara Luna! Luna, as she is known to her friends, was one of the most prolific hardworking starlets of the Sixties and Seventies. She is a fan favorite at autograph conventions across the nation. Check out her web site.

And to Drive-in Dream Girl Hilarie Thompson (pictured). She excelled playing the baby-faced wanna-be hippie chick during the late Sixties/early Seventies in such films as Maryjane, How Sweet It Is!, The Model Shop, It It’s Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium, and Getting Straight. She did lots of TV too and starred in the short-lived ABC trying-to-be-hip series The Young Rebels in 1970 about hippie types fighting the British during the Revolutionary War.

Happy Birthday!

To our favorite Bond Girl of all time, Lana Wood! As Plenty O’Toole (“Named after your father, perhaps?” quipped Sean Connery’s James Bond) she alone made Diamonds Are Forever palatable and stole the movie from one of the worst Bond Girls of all time, Jill St. John.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

To Marta Kristen! TV fans remember her best as castaway Judy Robinson on Lost in Space but prior to blasting off into the galaxy she darned fins as an undersea mermaid who falls in love with lunkhead surfer Jody McCrea in Beach Blanket Bingo. Check out this great clip on YouTube.

And to Michele Carey (pictured above) who is featured in my upcoming book, Pin-ups and Playmates in Sixties Hollywood! She shot and wounded the Duke in El Dorado; played an adult film actress who craved having a baby with jazz musician and beach bum Bob Denver in The Sweet Ride; and wooed Elvis away from Fantasy Femme cover girl Celeste Yarnall in Live a Little, Love a Little.
