She was popular in the late 70s and early 80s, but hasn’t been seen onscreen in about 30 years.

She is still alive, living in Tucson, as far as I know, although her Facebook page has not been updated since 2020. She published a Christian children’s book that same year.

One of them reminded me of an obscure news item from back in the day. Who remembers “Kenneth, what is the frequency?”

On October 4, 1986, while walking along Park Avenue to his New York apartment, CBS news anchor Dan Rather was attacked and punched from behind by a man who demanded to know “Kenneth, what is the frequency?”

In 1997, a TV critic writing in the New York Daily News solved the mystery, publishing a photo of the alleged assailant, William Tager, who received a 12.5-to-25-year prison sentence for killing NBC stagehand Campbell Montgomery outside The Today Show studio in 1994. Rather confirmed the story: “There’s no doubt in my mind that this is the person.” New York District Attorney Robert M. Morgenthau said “William Tager’s identity as the man who attacked Mr. Rather was established in the course of an investigation by my office.” Tager claimed he thought television networks were beaming signals into his brain. When he murdered the stagehand, Tager was trying to force his way into an NBC studio with a weapon, in order to find out the frequency the networks were using to attack him, so that he could block it.

I don’t think the significance of the name “Kenneth” has ever been determined.

“I guess Madison Beer dropped a music video yesterday that potentially went viral because she’s got a lot of followers and she’s half naked in a bikini.”

The actual video is called Make You Mine. She looks absolutely gorgeous, like Megan Fox when she was younger and more natural, but they seem to have used a lot of auto-tune to make this.

Plastered Pop opines:

Sydney Sweeney is an important figure in the entertainment industry. Literally, her body is rockin’ and she’s got those solid giant tits that make everything else about her lovely like a delicate flower, even though people like to hate on her dopey inbred look, forgetting the rockin’ body that makes her an important figure in the entertainment industry.

As an important figure, we must THROWBACK THURSDAY and celebrate her humble launch in Euphoria, where they did some simulated sexy time from behind like blue moviesw in the 80s or the non-graphic hardcore porns they edit down into “legit” movies.

Yup. That should do it, except they will have to retain a few students because they need to keep the sports teams. I first thought they might need a few musicians, but upon reflection I realized there’s no reason why they can’t substitute recorded music for the band. They will need one student techie to operate the controls for the sound board.

The author is, of course, making an ironic suggestion in the model of Jonathan Swift’s famous essay, “A Modest Proposal.” (Swift suggested that poverty could be eliminated by eating the children of poor people.) Like Swift, the author has a serious point to make: colleges actually have too many administrators (the ones he really wants to get rid of). In the college where he teaches, there were ten professors for every three administrators in 1990. Today there are two professors for every three administrators, meaning that relative to the professor base, there are now five times as many administrators.

Tina Louise in Hell Riders (1984). Adan West is behind her.

I think this scene in Hell Riders (1984) is the only time we got a kinda clear look at Tina Louse’s nipple.

She was briefly topless in Mean Dog Blues (1978), but the camera angles prevented us from seeing any of the best stuff. Maybe a brief flash of nipple. Maybe not.

Her only other nudity wasn’t really with mentioning, but for the record, it was a one-frame flash of plumber’s crack in The Good Guys and the Bad Guys

Tina Louise had always been openly unhappy with Gilligan’s Island, which she considered to be beneath her dignity. I have to say that her overall level if dignity must have sunk somewhat by 1984, because compared to the cast of Hell Riders, the cast of Gilligan’s Island seems like a combination of the Mercury Theater and the Royal Shakespeare Company. This is just an awful movie. It really has only about twenty minutes when anything happens, but it’s padded out to feature length by endless shots of guys riding cycles. They aren’t racing or doing anything interesting. They’re just endlessly riding, riding …

When they finally decide to ride to someplace, their destination is a small town, where they plan to terrorize the locals. They certainly picked the wrong small town, however, because this one is guarded by Batman (Adam West), who promptly kicks the crap out of the bikers’ leader, then rallies the locals to round up all their firearms and fill the rest of the pesky cyclists full of lead.

This film is dated 1984, but it seems anachronistic. Except for the ages of the two familiar stars, I would have guessed it was from 1971 because it plays out like all of the crappy biker films that filled the drive-ins in the late 60s and early 70s. Tina Louise and Adam West must have been truly desperate for work to take these roles. This was about 15-20 years after their peak fame. Ginger was 50. The Bat was 56.

Ginger is still alive, aged 90. I think she is the last survivor among the castaways.

Batman left us about a decade ago, but Robin (Burt Ward) is still hanging tough, a mere stripling at 78. (He was only 20 when the first Batman episodes were taped, while West was pushing 40.)

If you love really slim women, Selma is your poster girl. I think this was her final nude scene in a nudography that stretched over some 15 years, as seen below. She does still work occasionally, but is tormented by constant pain from MS.


1997 – Strong Island Boys

This must have been her nude debut. I don’t remember this film at all, and it has only 77 votes on IMDb despite having been in release for nearly thirty years, at least theoretically. I did a quick look around the net to see whether I could buy or stream it, but I had no luck in that search, nor could I find a torrent. All we have for now are the VHS images above. The film has been archived in the media library of the University of Georgia, so you can watch it if you’re curious, and you can even download it for free, but it is heavily watermarked. Selma’s topless scene is at about 55:30. This is what you will see:

Even with the annoying watermark, it’s still a slight upgrade from what we had before.

It takes place during the Italian unification wars in the mid-19th century. An aristocratic woman, fleeing from her husband and in search of a legendary gold stash, joins of group of brigands in the south.

It echoes the look and style of the classic Spaghetti Westerns. As you can see below, the lead actor does his best impersonation of Clint Eastwood as an Italian.

Laure has done some of the most impressive nudity of the past decade. Her output in quality and quality is so impressive that her achievement approaches even the level of the redoubtable Virginie Efira.

Here is her previous nudography. Her most explicit nudity was in AVA, but my favorite scene is the one from the season four premiere of Dix Pour Cent:
