    HOORAY FOR HOLLYWOOD!

    February 22, 2011 by sixties

    Click here for some photos from the most recent Hollywood Show held in Burbank, CA.  One of my childhood faves Marta Kristen from Lost in Space attended and she still is as lovely as ever as is Nancy Kwan another attendee.

    Every time I go see a Broadway musical, I flash back to 1975 when in junior high school they took us to see Raisin, my very first Broadway show. But not because of Raisin (which was meh), but because of a commercial aired constantly on the radio:

    "Come to the Music Box Theater to see Geraldine Page, Carol Lynley, and Scott McKay in Alan Ayckbourn's Absurd Person Singular, the longest running comedy on Broadway!"

    Being a huge Carol Lynley fan, that was the show I wanted to see. And I still recall my disappointment as our school bus passed the Music Box with my face pressed against the window seeing the marquee. I so desperately wanted to see that show and not Raisin. haha

    Read more about Carol in Absurd Person singular in my BearManor Media book, Carol Lynley: Her Film & TV Career in Thrillers, Fantasy & Suspense.

    Happy Academy Award Weekend! Back in the day, when the studios knew potential winners would not be attending the ceremony, they would assign actors to accept on their behalf. For the 1963 Academy Awards, Freddie Young was deemed a shoo-in to win Best Color Cinematography for Lawrence of Arabia. He was absent, so Columbia Pictures chose Carol Lynley to accept on his behalf. She was doing double-time at the studio playing a coed living platonically with her boyfriend (Dean Jones) in the sex farce, Under the Yum Yum Tree with Jack Lemmon and playing the ill-fated sister of priest Tom Tryon in Otto Preminger's religious epic, The Cardinal. Love how she was on and off the stage in a flash.

    As a side note, about 5 years later after making his quip, Frank Sinatra and Carol would be a couple albeit a short-lived one.

    Happy birthday Barbara McNair! Later in life, she and Carol Lynley played thievin', murderin' Thelma and Louise-types who get involved with "one last score" driving the desert roadways from California to Vegas, in this undiscovered gem of a movie, Neon Signs (1996) with William Smith and MATT DOTSON. Read about the making of the movie, with recollections from costar Matt Dotson and director Marc Kolbe, in my Carol Lynley book from BearManor Media ... See MoreSee Less

    Happy Birthday to the late Carol Lynley! I became a fan of hers in May of 1973 when I saw her in The Poseidon Adventure at the Westbury Drive-In for my 12th birthday. I then began scouring the TV Guide to catch her in anything from her older films on The 4:30 Movie to guest spots on episodic TV to made-for-TV movies to her appearances on game and talk shows. I also began compiling a scrapbook with clippings of her from newspapers and magazines. Never in a million years would I have thought this would lead me to interviewing her years later for an article for Filmfax magazine in the 1990s to two books Dueling Harlows from McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers and a career retrospective, Carol Lynley: Her Film & TV Career in Thrillers, Fantasy and Suspense from BearManor Media.

    I have seen practically every photo of Carol Lynley ever published or released. Here are two of my favorites from The Shuttered Room and Harlow.

    Stunning photo (from The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts) of Pamela Tiffin on stage in a 1969 production of Uncle Vanya at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles. Pamela had been living and working in Rome since 1966 when her good friend, theater producer Harold Clurman, offered her the opportunity to join Richard Basehart, Joseph Wiseman, Lois Smith, and Gale Sondergaard on stage. Read more about Pamela in my Mcfarland & Company book, Pamela Tiffin: Hollywood to Rome, 1961-1974. ... See MoreSee Less
