If you are near Newburgh, NY this Saturday Oct. 17th and love cult movies & puppets, this is for you. Leading lady Carol Hollenbeck and some very snarky puppets will be giving their running commentary Mystery Science Theater 3000-style as the 1966 beach movie Eden Cried unspools.

Wow! I am literally blown away. I was more nervous about my book, Another World: The Drama Behind Daytime TV's Only 90-Minute Soap, than any of the others. Your kind words have squashed any self-doubts that I had. @bearmanormedia Welovesoaps.tv

Remembering #CarolLynley on the day she passed Sept. 3, 2019. She graciously spoke to me about playing #JeanHarlow for my book Dueling Harlows from @McFarlandCoPub . Her input and others greatly helped me win a bronze medal IPPY Award for Best Performing Arts book.

A stunning colorized pic of #CarolLynley as #JeanHarlow from #Harlow (1965). Harlow expert #DarrellRooney commented in my IPPY Award winning book Dueling Harlows that this was his favorite gown, designed by #NolanMiller, from either Harlow biopics. #CarrollBaker
