ALL THE STARS AREN'T ON FLAGS!

  I may be getting old. I got that impression
at our Independence Day gathering when I
casually mentioned that July 4th was Gina
Lollobrigida's birthday! You could have
heard a pin drop! Only one person nearby
knew of whom I spoke!
   For the others, and anybody else who
doesn't remember, Gina was an Italian movie
actress who starred in some 65 films from
the late 40's till her last big screen
role, paying herself, in 2011. Some of her
films were made in Italy but many made in
the United States. She shared the screen here
with some other stars you may or may not remember.
   In Trapeze she worked with Bert Lancaster
and Tony Curtis. In Come September she
stared with Rock Hudson, Bobby Darin, and
Sandra Dee. Yes, there was a Sandra Dee. Not
juts a song title from Grease!
     You can still see Gina's movies on TV or
dvd's. She was a  good actress and a good looker!
And though her movie career is over her life
is not! The birthday she celebrated yesterday
was her 93rd! Must be that Italian wine!
Happy Birthday Gina! To the rest of you, hope
you're well and that all your NEWS is good.
