All he could give me was, "some general." That was enough.

General James Mattis at the 2012 RNC.
:hysterical Did you tell him "which" General this was?

Yep, that's Gen. Mattis with his triple-necked stratocaster named "Shock and Awe".

Quote:
 
Mattis arrived on stage, standing erect, on the top of a Bradley fighting vehicle. The vehicle had been retrofitted with a 16th century French pipe organ “to give me the grooviest fill between my solos,” said Mattis.

He then hopped off the vehicle, and three Marines gingerly presented Mattis his signature three necked Stratocaster.

This actress had the female lead in a 1980 movie that was so bad it was actually good. She had minor roles in other movies and TV shows before giving up acting in favor of a long and successful career as a social worker aiding families of addicts.

She's very pretty, and definitely looks very 80s. I googled "1980s actress who became a social worker." Mm, boy, did I get an interesting mix of things - from gals in aerobics gear to 80s fashions & hair styles, to posters for sci fi movies and articles on the shortages of social workers. :lol . . . haven't found this gal's photo yet tho'.

Will look more later.

"1980 movie that was so bad it was actually good" is my personal opinion. Actually, it is a cult classic.

Review: This retro sci-fi film of football star, Flash Gordon, saving the Earth from the evil Emperor Ming shouldn't be as entertaining as it is. Vivid colors, crazy outfits, hammy acting, & cheap-looking special effects all merge together into a delicious stew. The rock soundtrack by Queen is the spice that makes it all work.

I loved that movie!! I saw it on HBO - not 'quite' first run, but not long after it was out of theatres. It's been so long, I didn't recognize this actress turned social worker. This is Melody Anderson.

It's really funny, now that I know who she is -- when I googled as I said above, there were movie posters of Flash Gordon that showed up along with all the 80s aerobics gear and articles on the shortages of social workers. I don't know what would have triggered the Flash Gordon posters, since I didn't name her. :shrug

Back with another entry later . . .

This gal did something in the early 1980s that no woman had ever done before her. And she did it for 3-1/2 hours.

She's Russian. An American woman did it a little later. These gals were part of a famous "race" between the 2 superpowers.

Allen Hoskins, Farina.

Yes. Allen's is an interesting story too. Another actor who took up a long and successful career as a social worker. How valuable was he to Hal Roach? Consider that in 1930 the average wage in the US was $1970.00 ($37.88 weekly.) "Farina" got $350.00 per week!

Wow! I had no idea Farina was such a hot commodity!

Without looking anything up I'm guessing Ed McMahon. Right?
