Questions

#3)  During the credits of "Buck Rodgers" there are a number of girls posing for the camera. One of these girls has on glasses. Can anyone tell me who she was?
On the TV show Shindig (late 60's) one of the dancers always wore black horn rim glasses.  - RANDY

I personally have not seen the Buck Rogers show. Maybe one of the visitors can shed some light on her.

Regarding Shindig, my 'Articles' section has some photos of Carole Shelyne. I also remember reading an article in our newspaper about her. She wore those glasses just so that she would stand apart from the other dancers; she certainly caught my eye!

Also, on one show, she was featured singing a song especially written for her - 'The Girl with the Horn Rimmed Glasses'. I can still remember the tune to this day and a even few of the words.  - Lenslover

#2)  Does anyone know if the glasses Debra Winger wore in 'A Dangerous Woman' were her own prescription?

Another question I have is did Laura Elliot from 'Strangers on a Train' ever make any other movies?  - SPECS4EVER

I don't know if they were Debra's, but I do recall they were extremely strong. There was one scene from the movie that featured a camera shot through the lenses as the glasses laid on a table.

Here is a link to Laura Elliot's Internet data base movie listings. Here is more information about the movie from an interview with Patricia Hitchcock.  - Lenslover

#1)  Kathy Ireland did a movie a while back in which she wore glasses for a time. I forget the movie's name but the part she played was Wanda Sagmussin (or something like that). Can you help?  - RASSLINMD

I believe the movie in question was 'Alien in LA' (1987). Kathy played the role of Wanda Saknussem. I'll try to get photos for you the next time it's on in my area.  - Lenslover
