I'm still enjoying this book tremendously!  "Hal Lifson's 1966!  A Personal View of The Coolest Year in Pop Culture History", by my pal, 1960s aficionado HAL LIFSON.  If you don't already have this book, I highly recommend it!  This ad promoted a book signing with Author HAL LIFSON and TV's Batman, ADAM WEST, at the Bookstar Bookstore in Studio City, CA back in 2003.

DONNA LOREN

Last night at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, Leslie and I had the pleasure of meeting actress and singer, DONNA LOREN. DONNA performed a medley of hits from her movies and songs from her new CD...did a Q&A session with the audience...and signed autographs in between screenings of two of her movies, MUSCLE BEACH PARTY and BEACH BLANKET BINGO. A great time was had by all in attendance! DONNA LOREN is appearing at this weekend's HOLLYWOOD COLLECTOR'S SHOW in Burbank, CA! Head out there and say hello to DONNA.

DONNA LOREN appeared on TV's BATMAN, THE MONKEES and SHINDIG!

DONNA was also the DR. PEPPER GIRL of the 1960s!

42 YEARS AGO TODAY - SEPTEMBER 10, 1966

It was a Saturday, and millions of kids tuned in to CBS that morning to see this sensational line-up of brand new color cartoons! Inspired by the smash-hit BATMAN TV show, the new line-up was called SUPER HEROES SATURDAYS ON CBS. There was SPACE GHOST and DINO BOY, FRANKENSTEIN JR. and THE IMPOSSIBLES, SUPERMAN with SUPERBOY & KRYPTO and THE LONE RANGER. I hope we see official DVD releases of Hanna-Barbera's FRANKENSTEIN JR. and THE IMPOSSIBLES and Filmation's SUPERBOY. I scanned the above image from the terrific book, HAL LIFSON's 1966.
