A Rare Photo Find!

This rare newspaper photograph was sent to me by a fan. It pictures Jayne Mansfield, me, Tommy Noonan, and, behind Tommy, his wife Foopy. (Honest, that's what he called her!) The occasion was the wrap party for Three Nuts in Search of a Bolt on Halloween night 1963. Jayne was pregnant at the time with Mariska Hargitay.

Easter Brunch With Bobby Trendy
March 23, 2008


This was one of the most beautiful Easter Sunday's I can remember! We were fortunate enough to celebrate it with my pal Bobby Trendy and Andrew Zapina. We ate at the Cannery Restaurant which has some of the best food in Newport Beach. There was lively conversation--there always is when you're with Bobby. A fun day. Photos by Thomas Dixon.

The talented, handsome, and entrepreneurial Bobby Trendy.

This is my approval mirror before I leave the house.
If I get past this one, I'm out the door.

After brunch, I came home and tried on a new Easter frock, just for fun.



The Gypsy Awards
March 16, 2007


I love the Gypsy Awards! It's a room full of hardworking dancers paying homage to each other and their art. The Beverly Hilton's Ballroom is jam packed and it is always a fun program. Here are some shots by Alan Mercer and Thomas to record the event.

And a beautiful lobby too! Orchids are my favorite! This is a really unusual decoration. Photo by Alan Mercer.

The paparazzi are always there too. I'm posing with my pal Carol Conners, songwriter and free spirit.
