HAPPY BIRTHDAY

To Andrea Dromm! She was one of the most popular models during the Sixties due to her All-American tan California-blonde looks but she was in reality a New Yawker. Her acting career was brief as her string bikinis as she replaced Laurel Goodwin as the Yeoman in the second Star Trek pilot but passed on the series (can anyone say Big Mistake!) to make movies. On the big screen she fell for Russkie John Philip Law in The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming! and enticed Troy Donahue to Come Spy with Me before returning to the modeling world.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

To sweet-as-pie Mary Ann Mobley. Most fans know that Mobley was a former Miss America but don’t know that she was the first Girl from U.N.C.L.E.(in the episode “The Moonglow Affair” on The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) and Batgirl on Batman but due to interferring network executives lost out on both roles in the TV series (to respectively, Stefanie Powers and Yvonne Craig). As a consolation prize, she did get to be wooed on screen by Elvis Presley in Girl Happy and Harum Scarum. Check out this great tribute to her on You Tube.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

To Fantasy Femme Joan O’Brien. She distracted submarine commander Cary Grant in Operation Petticoat, survived The Alamo, bewitched pilot Elvis Presley in It Happened At the World’s Fair (at left), and taught Nancy Sinatra how to Watusi in Get Yourself a College Girl before retiring to raise her family in 1965.
