I love the 1959 movie "Pillow Talk" which starred Doris Day and Rock Hudson. One of the reasons why it's in my top movie selection is because of the Singer/Actress Perry Blackwell. She only had one scene in the movie and she sang for most of that scene, but what she did with her expressions and mannerisms spoke much much more. She was also in the 1960 movie "Dead Ringer" with Bette Davis and Karl Malden. There is not much info on her available, but I did discover via a message written by her daughter, that she is a classically trained Pianist and self taught organist. She played Hammond Organ for years. Also she played with Sonny Stitt, Wes Montgomery Bros. , Roy Milton and Louis Jordan. She worked many gigs around such people as Nancy Wilson, Aretha Franklin, Quincy Jones, Joe Williams, Freddie Hubbard, Jackie Wilson and Red Foxx. She worked on the New York jazz scence for a few years, Best known for her 7 year stint at The Parisian Room in Los A
Zoe Washburn, the person, has the most beautiful eyes. I have to go research her. Is this a Tonner doll?
ReplyDeleteHey Vanessa, yes this is a Tonner doll.
ReplyDeleteYou know how Iam about getting the ethnic dolls.. :-)
Yes, I know how you are. I am happy that Tonner is producing a variety of ethnic dolls. I have to go take a look at his new dolls. When I used to buy 16", I keep up to date, but it has been a number of years now.
