Her role in South Pacific launched her to international fame and earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress. She was one of the other guests on The Ed Sullivan Show during the Beatles’ s second appearance on the show on February 16, 1964. Actress Lee Meriwether has a unique place in the history of the Batman entertainment canon. Bo Diddley, whose real name was Ellas McDaniel, was an eclectic artist. He incorporated African rhythms, hambone beats, and traditional blues elements into his music.
Next, the studio tapped Rock Hudson for the role, but the film’s producer, Alan J. Pakula, didn’t think Hudson was a big enough star. He never received any formal musical or acting training, although he did study tap dancing under Bill ‘Bojangles” Robinson, yet he was an accomplished singer, dancer, comedian, mime, and musician. As we see in this photo of one of Davis’s appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show, he excelled on the drums. He also played the piano, trumpet, and the vibraphone. An all-around gifted performer, Davis’s popularity helped other black entertainers break into the largely segregated entertainment industry in the 1950s and 1960s. Folk singer Joan Baez’s music was symbolic of the 1960s counterculture movement.

We are talking about both Marilyn Monroe and the 1951 Pontiac Chieftain she is standing beside. Pontiac made the Chieftain model from 1949 to 1958 and it was introduced as a replacement for the Torpedo. The Chieftain was initially offered in four different models, the sedan, sedan coupe, business coupe, and the convertible coupe. In 1951, when this photo was taken, Pontiac added the Catalina Coupe.

Shortly afterward, she posed semi-nude for Playboy magazine in a series call ‘The Girls of Casino Royale’. By the mid-1970s, Bouchet was frustrated with her career. She was a victim of typecasting and was unable to land starring roles in serious films. Tough guy actor Jack Palance, who had already enjoyed a long and successful career in films and on television, was tapped to host a documentary-style television series, “Ripley’s Believe It or Not!
In the mid-1960s, however, he accepted the role of Kato, the sidekick of the Green Hornet in a new television series about the comic book superhero. Playing Kato allowed Lee to show off his martial arts chops, which fans loved. In fact, it helped to pave to way for Lee to star in a series of martial arts films throughout the 1970s. In the 1980 comedy movie, Roadie, Meatloaf, in his first starring role, plays a good ‘ol boy from Texas who, through a series of strange events, winds up being a roadie for several bands. His ability to quickly set up equipment, make repairs, and even build a dung-powered generator, earned him the nickname the ‘greatest roadie that ever lived’. Several bands and musicians made cameo appearances in the film, including Hank Williams Jr., Roy Orbison, Alice Cooper, and the members of Blondie.

With her toned body, impossibly tiny waist, and stunning good looks, it is no wonder that beautiful Betty Brosmer was one of the most prolific modes of the 1950s. She was always athletic and enjoyed fitness, which helped her to maintain her figure. That gig helped her catch the eye of pin-up photographers, Alberto Vargas and Earl Moran. She was just 15 years old when she moved to New York City in 1950 to work as a full-time model. Although she was only 15, the make-up, clothing, hairstyles, and poses she did as a pin-up model made her look ten years old.
Her father, Riccardo Scicolone, refused to marry her mother when she became pregnant, forcing her to find her own means of financial support.

She was just eight years old when her parents turned over her care to her talent managers, John and Ethel Ross. They took a large percent of her earnings, lied on her resume, and tried to pass her off as being younger than she truly was. Even worse, she was given alcohol and prescription drugs to keep her complacent and subjected her to physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.
He immersed himself in the soccer scene and hung around professional soccer players. In 1970, he hired former Jamaican footballer Allan ‘Skill’ Cole to be his tour manager. Fast Times at Ridgemont High was sandwiched in between two other films in which Penn tackled more serious roles. One was the 1981 Taps in which he played a military cadet. The other was the 1983 drama, Bad Boys, which cast Penn as a troubled youth.
Her big break came when beautiful blonde Farrah Fawcett stepped down from her role as Jill on the mega-hit TV series Charlie’s Angels. The shows creators wanted to smoothly bring in another character, so they cast Cheryl Ladd to play Kris, Jill’s younger sister. Ladd remained in the role through the duration of the show. In many cases, folks claim that this pic shows Elvis Presley giving Johnny Cash a trim, but that’s not accurate. This photo was snapped in 1957 on the set of Loving You, Elvis’s first major movie role. But it is not Johnny Cash, it is Elvis’s cousin, Gene Smith.
Janice Pennington was a singer dancer before finding work as a model. She performed as a dancer in Vegas and joined a rock group that toured Europe with Liza Minelli. She landed guest roles in "The Courtship of Eddie’s Father", "Ironside", "Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In", and "The Sonny and Cher Show". When she was invited to audition for “The Price Is Right”, she helped to get her bestie, Anitra Ford, on the show, too.
These people – all icons of the groovy era – have left their imprint on the era. Even though Paul Newman and Lee Marvin played friends in the 1972 Western buddy film, Pocket Money, the rumor is that the two did not get along during the filming of the comedy. Film critic Gene Siskel described the performances of Newman and Marvin as “completely self-indulgent” and gave the movie zero stars. Another critic wrote that Newman and Marvin “shined individually” but that their interactions together failed to convince the audience that they were best buds, as their characters were supposed to be.
