    In my Dueling Harlows book, I spoke with Jean Harlow expert Darrell Rooney. Although he preferred the Carroll Baker Harlow over the Carol Lynley Harlow, he felt Nolan Miller dressed Lynley closer to what Jean Harlow actually wore.

    This got me thinking that Carol was well-dressed in most of her movies and that three received Oscar nominations for Best Costume Design. In 1963, Travilla received a nom in the b/w category for his designs in The Stripper and Donald Brooks was nominated for his designs in the color category for The Cardinal. In 1972, Paul Zastupnevich received a surprise nomination for his iconic looks for The Poseidon Adventure. Unfortunately, all three designers went home empty handed.

    In my Dueling Harlows book from McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers:
    Carol Lynley is Jean Harlow in Harlow produced by Bill Sargent in Electronovision for Magna Pictures. Carroll Baker is Jean Harlow in Harlow produced by Joseph E. Levine for Paramount. Although the producers feuded throughout the making of their movies, Carol and Carroll never met until the mid-1990s. They hit it off and remained good friends until Lynley's death in 2019.

    I went to a screening of a restored print of The Poseidon Adventure at Lincoln Center yesterday and it was such a pleasure to watch the movie with film buffs who did not joke and make fun of the movie because it is a bit dated. There were laughs but seemed more with the characters than at them. Even the hapless Nonnie, whom some modern day audiences get so frustrated with due to her helplessness, was not ridiculed. In honor of that, I present my article on her from the great magazine CinemaRetro’s special issue from 2012. ... See MoreSee Less

    Although I would not call any of them "forgotten," this is a wonderful tribute to some of my favorite actresses of the 1960s. Included are Carol Lynley, Pamela Tiffin, Tina Louise, Dolores Hart, Sue Lyon, Stella Stevens, Paula Prentiss, and a few others that I have no qualms with. The only one included that I so dislike is Diane Baker. I would have swapped her out for Yvette Mimieux. www.giantfreakinrobot.com/msn/01forgotten-1960s-actresses-who-deserve-a-spotlight.html?fbclid=IwY... ... See MoreSee Less
