Comment on Movie Moment: Bonnie and Clyde by Annette

Annette — Wed, 15 May 2013 20:00:05 +0000

First saw Bonnie and Clyde in 1967 in Dallas,Texas. It was the best movie I had ever seen and still is! I had the privilege of meeting Arthur Penn and told him how I had watched the movie at least 50 times. He said “That sounds about the right number of times”. Each time I see it I seem to notice something new, the foreshadowings, the background, the brilliance of the storyline, the true to Texas accents and way of living and thinking back in the day. My mother was the same age as Bonnie Parker, so I can truthfully say they captured the essence of the period.

The accompanying text to Julie’s centerfold appearance is misleading at best. It describes the town of Allen, TX as a “rural community” located 26 miles north of Dallas. Allen is actually a bedroom community to a metropolitan area that had a population of over 3 million in 1986 and it is well under 10 miles to the Dallas City limits. Both now and in the mid-80′s, there were a disproportionate number of playmates in the Dallas area and due to their frequent appearances on radio and local TV, their presence is well known yet Playboy describes Julie’s appearance in the magazine as causing a “furor” and gives very controversial quotes from a unnamed preacher. Due to her surname, I remember Julie’s gatefold appearance very well and I can assure you that locally it was a non-event. This was at least partly due to Julie not having lived here very long and also because she was no longer a resident of the area (Playboy incorrectly reports her as still living in Allen at the time of her centerfold). In short, this is inaccurate writing that borders on being fictitious from Playboy. The real irony is that just a few years later, Julie’s Playboy photos would indeed create a problem but the prejudice against her would take place in Los Angeles County where Playboy itself is headquartered. This would occur on the set of squeaky-clean Growing Pains where the producers became quite unhappy with growing publicity from Julie’s photos and association with Playboy while playing Kirk Cameron’s on-screen love interest. This unwanted attention played a significant role in Julie being released after 10 episodes on the show. . Did Playboy come to her defense or ever even report this? Of course not. They’re beholden to the TV & film industry.

What a sad end for an excellent actor!
I found out from pictures that he was so very handsome when he was younger. His wife Brend Marshall was beautiful.
I thank all the actors who entertained us in movie theaters and in our living rooms via TV. They certainly brought joy to our lives.

Det er kun den seksuelle opplevelsen som teller og står i fokus.

I met her in Chicago in the 70′s as she was just making the rounds getting into modeling. She came to the photo studio where I was studio manager/assistant to Denis Scott. She was absolutey beautiful. Everyone liked her. She did a few modeling jobs for Playboy on Michigan Avenue and Jeana eventually became a Playmate. By the way, the studio I worked for was on 21 W. Illinois Street in Chicago and was formerly used by Playboy photographer Richard Fegley who passed away in 2001.

Comment on Girls of Summer: Yvette Vickers, Miss July 1959 by John Felix Koziol (@Gigantuous_Guy)

John Felix Koziol (@Gigantuous_Guy) — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 22:41:18 +0000

Life in the fast lane didn’t bode well for Ms. Vickers, thats for dadgum sure! To see a photo of her taken shortly before she perished and see what she looked like in the days of her being one of the earliest of Playboy centerfolds you would think they were two totally different people. One would have to look closely at her face to see what resemblance of her that was left. I’ve read where she was involved in a heavy-duty affair with 1960s actor Jim Hutton. Hutton, is probably best known for being the tall, gangly guy who hooks up with his female counterpart, played by the amazonian Paula Prentiss.he father of Academy Award winning actor, Timothy Hutton, most recently known for his work in the just discontinued (Most unfortunately as I loved the show!) TNT television series, “Leverage,” and this affair went on for the better part of Jim Hutton’s life right up to just before he died in 1979 at the age of 45. Oftentimes when you play you pay and Ms Vickers obviously never learned that lesson and it wound up costing her her life. Moral to this story I am taking from a tried and true saying which would is most appropriate since one of Hollywood’s nicknames is “Tinseltown”: “All that glitters isn’t gold.” If only Ms. Vickers had learned this and took it to heart then she would still be alive today and not look the way she did at the end.

E you really do have a way with these posts. Another lady I admired has passed and I found out late -”The Lady In The Lake”. I just found out about Debbie Boostrom last year (via Lame Cherry), and I’ve been searching everywhere for info on her. God, it seems like the good ones are really dropping the past few years. Those ladies from the 80′s were really special and I enjoy you memorializing them so much. You’re the best E.
