Tail o’ the Pup… I was fortunate to visit this place once before it went away. Sadly, I’d recently eaten and just couldn’t bring myself to get a dog, so I just had a Coke. I told myself there would be other trips to LA. And then it was gone…
Actress Barbara Hale, best known for playing Della on the old Perry Mason show, turns 92 today. I grew up watching reruns of that one with my mom, and I’ve always thought Barbara was really sexy in a non-flashy sort of way…
Annette always had a wholesome image and played the virginal “good girl” in those beach movies, but I thought she was quite sexy…
I’m a Gen-Xer, so Annette was way before my time… but I saw a lot of the “beach movies” she made with Frankie Avalon on TV while I was growing up and enjoyed them, and of course I liked their 1987 reunion/spoof Back to the Beach. She was a pop-cultural institution…
