Hi Everybody! I had storms yesterday, all at the time when I wanted to be online. Each time I’d shut down my system (and Windows takes forever) and start opening websites to read or post, I’d hear a big thunderclap close by again.
That happened 3 times - with no rain and none showing on radar, when I’d boot up again - then I’d look 5 minutes later and see bad storms right on top of me - or I’d hear the “proof” of it banging overhead.
I finally gave up and went to bed.
Have been spending a ton of time, when possible, trying to tighten up some of the listings on my Case Name List before I do the (probably) last revision. I may have to add some more *after* the inquest, but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.
I think I’ll post a little about that new video footage ET and TI have been showing. Have to hurry, tho, cause the storm clouds are gathering again outside!
I found a mildly interesting tidbit in the newly released 1993 footage of ANS from the never-produced documentary called “Crashing Hollywood” (but now called “Anna Nicole in Malibu”).
The producer, who befriended Anna when she was new to Hollywood, is Ashley Wells Lewis, who lives right on Malibu Road close to where the homes burned this year - such as Suzanne Somers’s - in fact, Lewis’s was singed along with others nearby.
In the voiceovers, the ET people said that Lewis’s Malibu house had been ANS’s “hideaway” retreat (I think that’s like a “safehouse” but not as spooky) from 1993 onward “for almost a decade.”
Since they only show snippets, not the whole 80 minutes of the video, I don’t know why ANS and Ashley were no longer friends after 2003 - unless maybe ANS’s purchase of the Studio City house meant she didn’t need a “hideaway” anymore. Lewis still lives in the same house and was apparently new there when she (and her husband, I assume) welcomed ANS. (Nude swims in the pool probably helped, lol.)
ANS shot her first Playboy “pictorial” at the Malibu house. I don’t know if that means the cover shot or centerfold series or the Playmate video they did.
Somehow I got the idea that Ashley herself had been a Playmate years before that, but I may be mistaken. The footage has been shown a couple of places, with different comments by Lewis. Only one of her documentaries was listed in the imdb, with a different producer’s name. She is the same age as Dr KE - but I can’t find any connection, like residences or show biz hubby to showbiz Lewis, so on.
Her company name, Maliblue, isn’t listed in CA corporations listing. Her other one has been through many reincarnations with different principal officers listed, none in her name. One of the 1980s registrations of it has a man’s name but that same Malibu address.
The only thing I found in imdb that didn’t eliminate her as being that listed person was for an adult film (porn) star, Ashley Wells, lol.
Also thought it amusing that when Lewis was asked who the musclebound hunk was in most of the pix of Anna, frolicking on the beach at Malibu, since he appeared to be her boyfriend, she said he was Anna’s bodyguard and that she, Lewis, had told them just to go out there and “do something” for the video. Got the impression he was only a fake beau for the filming.
ANS was getting money from JHMII, back here in Houston, at the time, but she didn’t marry him until the next year after this footage was shot. Would like to see more of it, with Lewis narrating, but I think it’s going to be on cable, just not sure where. I was wondering if Daniel lived there with ANS or not - he was 7 - was he still living with Virgie, or was ANS leaving him in Houston with a nanny?
So many questions!
