The Catholic Church still puts out movie ratings. Rates some as Morally Offensive.

So THAT’S why today’s boys are having trouble figuring that out... no Diana Rigg on TV!

Our young Boomer male psyches were crassly exploited by a whole series of femme fatales. Just like with music we sure lucked out.

... and don’t forget Julie Newmar in that Catwoman outfit.

How politically incorrect! The shame of it! We were actually looking at attractive women and thinking “wow! Attractive woman!”. :-) :-)

She lived a full life. BUT she had nothing on Alma Mahler Gropius Werfel. Tom Lehrer relates her story.

Thanks, Brown Deer. Verrrry interesting.

We need to pay more attention to your research.

Interesting about Val and the baby sitter. Where does Val reside now? Didn't she attend 'his' first inauguration?
