Who's That Lady?

[SfanGoch]

Joey has been on various TV shows and the playing the concert circuit over the last 50 years. She did TV commercials for RC Cola and Serta mattresses in the 1970s. She also was psycho. She really went downhill after the late '70s. But, lemme tell you, she was HOT!!!!!!!!!

Ursula Andress.

That oft copied, but never quite equaled, scene in Dr No. Oh baby, made a 007 fan of me big time.

Although I must admit to a fondness for Halle Barry's redo.

Here's an easier "Make the Connection" quiz. Who are they and what do they have in common?

[SfanGoch]

They both played Lara Croft.

Yup. Details?

[SfanGoch]

Well, the Lara Croft character is busty. Due to some misguided surgical modifications, Angelina was no longer able to "fill" the role. My source for this information was the wall of the McCarren Park men's restroom.

SfanGoch is close enough. The lady on the left is Rhona Mitra, female lead on "The Last Ship" TV series. She was the live-action model for Lara Croft in the "Tomb Raider" video games.

This one is something of a ringer. Her name is Helene Dimone, professionally known as Helene Dixon. She was born in my neighborhood of Greenpoint, Brooklyn and was my friend Madeleine's first cousin.  Her family owned one of the most popular saloons in the neighborhood. She got her start performing in several NYC nightclubs (including Jimmy Dwyer's Sawdust Trail alongside Teresa Brewer) as a teenager. She was discovered by African-American jazz musician/arranger/songwriter Phil Moore & became his protege. He also acted as her manager. It was through him that she got her first recording contract with OKeh/Epic in 1953. The first single released was in fact 'The Breeze' bw 'Don't Call My Name' in May 1953. During this time Miss Dixon was also a regular at The Copacabana. Helene performed pop, jazz and rockabilly. As a matter of fact, she's considered one of the "Queens of Rockabilly". Not bad for a girl from Brooklyn.

In late July 1953, Helene became the first regular female vocalist on Steve Allen's original incarnation of "The Tonight Show", which aired locally in NYC on WNBT-TV (later WRCA-TV, then WNBC-TV in 1963). By September/October Helene was out & a young Eydie Gorme was in. Steve Allen wrote in his his autobiography that Helene was let go because "she only knew 2 songs" & was incapable of learning more quickly. I find this hard to believe since by 1953 she was a seasoned professional & a recording artist. Whatever the truth is, Helene's dismissal is unfortunate because The Steve Allen Show went national when it was picked up by NBC the following year, creating the Late Night Talk Show genre as we know it & making instant stars out of Steve Allen, Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme. Helene went on recording for the Epic & Vik labels & was briefly signed to MGM (The film studio, not the label). Besides recording two numbers from the 1956 film 'The Opposite Sex" (the title song & 'Now Baby Now') nothing came of the MGM association. Helene recorded with the likes of the legendary Norman Leyden, Ray Conniff and Quincy Jones. She passed away in 1969 at age 36.

She looks like the type of kid who shaved the fur off cats.

I laughed so hard when I read your source ! HA HA HA HA HA !!

Looks like a young Laura Prepon ("Hot Donna,"), but the photo itself looks much, much older than it would be for her--unless it's been "antiqued."

I was right. I cheated and looked up the photo. Those are the eyes of either a serial killer, musician or both. It's Taylor Swift's high school yearbook picture.

How much you wanna bet she shaves her own cat?

Interesting Helene Dixon story too. I like the cut you posted.

If you examine the picture closely, you'll notice that her head was inside a box when the photo was taken.

I believe those photos were in the Albanian edition of Penthouse.

Maybe she'd been looking for Schrodinger's cat.

Don't you guys think you're being a bit presumptuous regarding her cat grooming regimen? I mean, there's more than one way to groom a cat. And then there's always leaving the cat to go au naturel.

That can lead to hair balls which also affect cats.

I'm personally not a fan of the bald look.

Let's see... where were we? Anyone care to guess who this lovely lady is?
