In the early fifties I moved to a small town in southern Missouri ~ Poplar Bluff. We lived in a rural area about 6 miles from town. As a child, my brother, sister, and I walked through woods, fields, and across a creek to school. The school (Oak Grove) is still in use today, but is much bigger. |

T.V. shows that I watched. |
I loved watching mysteries ~ Hitchcock was my favorite for T.V. and movies. I also liked The Twilight Zone, Mission Impossible, The FBI Files, and many others. Of course I watched westerns too. Who can forget Gunsmoke, Maverick, and Have Gun Will Travel? |
When I was in 4th grade we moved to a nasty little Missouri town ~ Flat River. The worse place on earth, in my opinion. |
The summer before my 6th grade we moved to St. Louis County - to St. Ann. I attended the Pattonville School District and graduated in Jan. 1968. |
As a young adult, I traveled the U.S. and some of Canada. Working in many clubs, as a dancer and modeling, what fun.... |
My journey began when I was 19 years old. I got into my '65 T-Bird and headed north-east. No plan, little money ~ just dreams. My first stop: Cleveland, Ohio. There with previous connections I got my first taste of show business. Go-Go dancing. After a few weeks and some real money in my pocket I headed to Niagara Falls, Canada. There I did some acting, modeling, dancing in a show and a chance to go to New York City. What a blast. More jobs, more money, more connections. From there I went to Washington D.C. and back to St. Louis. In St. Louis I stayed busy doing many modeling jobs, including a T.V. commercial and a T.V. dance show. While back in St. Louis I was lucky enough to meet many 'Stars'. By the time I was 21 I was on my way to the FAB' Las Vegas. Too many stories for this great Little City..... |
Wow!! Look at that hair. |
