    Well, one of the quirkier things I noted, when I was out in public with Lee, at those video stores or at a restaurant, is that strange women would spot him, and come running over to him and hug him! He took it in stride, like it was an every day occurrence, and was very friendly to them...

    I liked Lee Patterson. I'd still like to see the later episodes of "Surfside Six" that the Goodlife Network never got around to airing. Later in his life, Lee was trying to put together a little 'video resume' on tape, to send around, trying to gin up some work. He needed some clips of his...

    Thanks! I knew you'd be the one to ask, owing to your expertise in this arena (even if our tastes in advertising styles diverge). I've had a tendency to collect old magazines (off and on) all my life, picking up things from early-1900s "Ladies Home Journal" and "Wild West Weekly" dime-novels...

    Wasn't it also a bit of a popular aesthetic trend in that era (60s) for 'grainy' color? Looking at all magazines of the times, and especially TV Guides, the 1960s shoots always seemed more grainy and maize-hued than the smoother (albeit weaker and more misaligned) photos and covers of things...
