R.I.P. Walt Disney

Posted on 11:55 by john cena

Probably the worst pop culture news of '66 was the death in mid-December of Walt Disney, arguably the single most important man in 20th century pop history.

The Rolling Stones have been in the news much lately for their 50th Anniversary concerts. Here's a wonderfully obsessive site that details what they were doing back in 1966!

Gary Lewis and The Playboys-Sure Gonna Miss Her

Posted on 19:49 by john cena

Jerry Lewis's oldest son, Gary, came into his own with his well-deserved mid-sixties success with his group, The Playboys. This was just one of their '66 single releases but it's my favorite one.

Actor James Coburn's breakthrough role after years as a character actor, Derek Flint would be the most serious rival to James Bond if his two cinematic adventures of the sixties had been a little more serious.

Beetle Bailey in '66

Posted on 21:30 by john cena

In 1966, Mort Walker's popular BEETLE BAILEY newspaper strip had to contend with controversy as the then-ongoing war in Viet Nam made the military much less popular than it had been in previous decades. He manages to weather the storms with good humor and clever ideas and the strip still flourishes today. The volume seen here collects all of the daily and Sunday strips from '66.

Grace Kelly

Posted on 21:57 by john cena

Lots of gorgeous, sexy gals made the scene in '66 from Twiggy and Barbara Feldon to Marlo Thomas and Raquel Welch. But here we have Grace Kelly, by this point PRINCESS Grace, ten years retired from making movies but still the most beautiful woman in the world in '66!

Not With My Wife, You Don't!

Tony Curtis was as big a star as they came in '66. Bigger than future PATTON George C. Scott, oddly cast here as his romantic rival for lovely Italian star Virna Lisi. A pre-Bunker Carroll O'Conner co-starred.
