She looks great and what a wonderful smile! She's clearly enjoying life.

Had to laugh at one of the photo captions: "The show's premise involved a 2,000-year-old genie being rescued by an astronaut (Larry Hagman), who rubs her bottle after crash landing his shuttle on a beach." The The Shuttle was originally presented to the public in 1972. The show ran 1965 to 1970. The caption writer sure didn't do any basic checking. Even Wikipedia gets it right: "Captain Tony Nelson, US Air Force, is on a space flight when his one-man capsule Stardust One..."

Of course, Project Gemini occurred in 1965 - 1966 and used a two-man capsule, so the show was actually behind the times. But it didn't read about a "shuttle" in it's crystal ball. Besides, NASA originally called it a "space truck" in the 60s.

Sheesh, my age is showing!

Heck, I recently saw the Twilight Zone episode with Adam and Eve. Do you remember that one?
