No.  Well kind of.  But they're better than known pervert George Michael.

DUmmies can find the littlest things to be offended by.  It's no wonder they are always miserable.

5 women that were successful together, and have been even more so as individuals....

and DUmmies complain.

wow.  :thatsright:

Thought they were all about women doing well professionally. Maybe it's because The Spice Girls have been too successful as individuals.  :whistling:

Does anybody remember who the good-looking blonde was, who did the honors at the Republican National Convention of 1980?

It was on television, and so I wasn't paying much attention.

She looked sort of vaguely like Farah Fawcett-Majors (who wasn't a star yet), but it wasn't her.

That name doesn't sound familiar.

I saw her name flash across the screen at the time, and remembered it for years, and then forgot it.

At the 1980 Republican National Convention, there were a whole lot of stars, and not just the old stand-bys such as John Wayne or George Murphy (I dunno if either was still alive then), but newer and much younger Hollywood celebrities.  I think Tom Selleck was one of them, but don't hold me to that.

Anyway, this was a woman, a singer (and perhaps an actress too), whose name at the time I sort of recognized.....and if I knew that much about her, that means she was probably reasonably famous in the hearing world.

I have found that Susan Anton, Eddie Rabbitt, and Jimmy Stewart were there in 1980.

As was Elizabeth Taylor.

I think "Susan Anton" might be it.

Taylor was still married to Senator Warner then?

Yep.

That was during that very short time in her life when she had class.
