50's B-MOVIE BAD GIRL YVETTE VICKERS FOUND DEAD

People magazine has the sad story of 50's B-movie bad girl Yvette Vickers death.
She played the sexy "other woman" in Attack of the 50 Foot Woman and Attack of the Giant Leeches.

THE LEADER & PRESS ALSO THOUGHT INJURED CHILDREN WERE FUNNY

While I'm on this subject, you hear some Ozarkers complain about Gannett run News Leader and how it isn't as good as the old Springfield Leader & Press. One idiotic complaint you see from some of the racist who write Letters to the Editor (and was addressed quite a bit by Brian Lewis when he was at the News Leader) is that the News Leader puts too many photos of African-Americans and gay people on the front page.

I guess they want to go back to 1960, when the Leader & Press thought it was funny to make fun of a little girl with bruised and blacked eyes. This is not funny, it is disgusting and looks painful. Of course, Ozarkers enjoy seeing pain inflicted on children. They also were happy that this child was neither gay not African-American.

TONY CURTIS aka BERNIE SCHWARTZ aka DANNY WILDE DIES

Actor Tony Curtis died Wednesday night. He was 85 years old. Here is IMDB's obit. Curtis was the guy who popularized the "ducktail" haircut in the 50's (before Elvis). He was also the star of the 70's action series The Persuaders with Roger Moore. Here is a clip (little fuzzy) from the pilot with a nice sunshine pop song by Jackie Trent and Tony Hatch called "Gotta Get Away." Nothing like combining sunshine pop with road rage.
