I learned a lot from the Hobby quiz
I remember the Julie Newmar pantyhose ads (print ads; they never would have run such a commercial on TV in those days), with Julie modeling her own product. They had padding in the derriere to make the wearer look more "curvy".

I think he liked heights too - I wish ME-TV could show a old silent comedy once in awhile
I am officially here to say I would have like to photog Julie Newmar in anything and anywhere:)
She seemed a bit flaky tho

There’s another hobby Loretta Swit has: she collected arcade video games and in fact, she owns one of the first Ms. Pac-Man games manufactured in the USA.
Hmmm I need to catch up ♥️
