A Dionne Warwick Signature

Strange day- I had just sent off an autograph request to Belafonte about 3 weeks ago– bad timing on my part! But who knows? Maybe he saw it. Today I received a much awaited Dionne signature – thanks so much Dionne! A wonderful consolation!

Rest in Peace Raquel Welch

I am so sad to have to add this to my blog – Raquel Welch passed away this morning at the age of 82. One of my favorite actresses and one of Stephen’s Boyd’s co-stars – twice in fact! In FANTASTIC VOYAGE and HANNIE CAULDER.

She will always be remembered. She defined a decade – she took Marilyn Monroe’s mantle as sex symbol in the 1960s – and she was truly the first groundbreaking onscreen action female star.

Marisa Mell & Stephen Boyd in Madrid 1971

Marisa Mell in early 1972, after Boyd’s departure, had this to say about the break-up of their relationship. It was not your usual explanation. “We both believe in reincarnation, and we realized we’ve already been lovers in three different lifetimes, and in each one I made him suffer terribly.” (The Akron Beacon Journal, June 16, 1972)
