I thinks it's time Tina Louise make an new appearance . . . and I mean the original Tina Louise, not the second one whose pumped-up images are all over eBay.

It's one of my major regrets that Tina Louise did not become a gig movie star. For me, she had three of the five essentials: looks, ability and screen presence. Apparently she did not have the other two: determination and luck.

There's room for disagreement about the color of Nancy Kovack's hair: some say she's a brunette but I have evidence she's a redhead.

There can be little disagreement that she is/was an absolute knock-out. I first saw her in a small role in Strangers When We Meet where she played Ernie Kovak's - note the difference in the spelling - rather abused girlfriend. Later I saw her with her elegant legs on display trying to bump off Dean Martin in The Silencers.

Despite her - to me- awe-inspiring looks, Nancy Kovack never became a big star and she gave up her career when she turned forty.

Although Karin Dor had a long and busy career, she is remembered today mainly for two films: You Only Live Twice and Topaz.

With Topaz, in her death scene she featured in one of Alfred Hitchcock's most elegant camera movements. I wish we had seen her in more films.

I'd particularly like to see the film she made with Steward Granger and several other attractive actresses.

Abbe Lane was a good singer of popular songs who had a small movie career in the early to mid 1950s.

She was married to the bandleader Xavier Cugat who influenced her choice of song material and she made some high quality recordings for RCA in that period.

Her film career consisted mainly of supporting roles in small films such as The Americano and Ride Clear Of Diablo and a 3D film about to appear on Blu-ray disc Wings Of The Hawk.

You know how sometimes HTF members, when discussing a disc's transfer, say it's better to see a moving image rather than a screen grab (or still image)...

:D

In this instance, I think that's right:



As I've remarked before on this forum, this particular performance on The Tonight Show was an important moment for my adolescence! :laugh:

These are sad and gloomy days and we all need cheering up. There are few better ways of doing that than by looking at a gorgeous redhead! I've recently added two rare photos of Rhonda Fleming to my collection and . . .

. . . they deserve a wider appreciation. The image below must be a publicity shot for Slightly Scarlet because Rhonda wears that apparel in the film.

I still hope that one day whoever owns the rights to Slightly Scarlet will release it on Blu-ray disc.

View attachment 71481 .

It's not a whole lot of apparel she's wearing...thanks, Robin! Rhonda Fleming is a real redheaded powerhouse in the 3D films, Inferno, Those Redheads From Seattle and Jivaro.

Two days ago I watched the new Blu-ray disc of Sunday In New York and the second female lead was Jo Morrow as a redhead. I'd always thought of her as a blonde but it seems red is her natural color.

The only pictures I have are black and white and show her as blonde. Does anyone have a good color photo of Jo Morrow?
