DANGER WILL ROBINSON!

I watched the Pioneers of Television: Science Fiction last night on PBS and highly recommend it. The show paid tribute to such 60s classics as Star Trek, Irwin Allen’s Lost in Space and The Time Tunnel, and delved into the history and making of these shows. What was great that they interviewed Drive-in Dream Girl Marta Kristen, Angela Cartwright, Billy Mumy, Nichelle Nichols, and Lee Meriwhether besides the obvious William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, among others. Hell they even showed a photo of our Francine York as the Noble Niolani singling her out as one of Lost in Space‘s memorable aliens!

COOL SITE…FOR NOW

A Facebook friend turned me on to this cool site PublicDomainFlix.com where there are many available films from 1950s to 1980s available to watch online for free. I have no idea what their “definition” of public domain is as most seem in copyright to me but enjoy now before they are shut down.  Among the movies listed are In the Year 2889 with Drive-in Dream Girl Quinn O’Hara, Wild Guitar with Nancy Czar, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! with  Drive-in Dream Girl Lori Williams, Satan’s Sadists with Glamour Girl Regina Carroll, and The Proud and the Damned with Aron Kincaid,  among many others.

R.I.P. SUSANNAH YORK

Wow, this has been a horrible start to the new year with yet another passing of a 60s performer. The very popular pretty blonde English lass Susannah York of Tom Jones, A Man for All Seasons, The Killing of Sister George, and They Shoot Horses, Don’t They (for which she was nominated for an Academy Award) fame has died. During the decade she epitomized the swinging 60s dolly bird in flilms like Kaleidoscope, Sebastian, and Duffy. Please click here to read more about her.

MAMMA MIA!

Click here to read about the cool upcoming Spaghetti Western Film Festival to be held in Los Angeles. Among the guest stars are actors Brett Halsey and a still hot looking Robert Woods (not to be confused with Robert S. Woods who plays Bo Buchanan on One Life to Live). This Robert Woods was an American actor who spent most of the 60s and 70s starring in European westerns and other film genres.
