defrogSo I spent my Christmas day watching Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls. As you do.
Anyway, it was only after watching it and poking around the Googles looking for clips that I discovered that Cynthia Myers passed away this past November.
Myers played Casey, the bass player/back-up singer in the film’s fictional band, The Carrie Nations.
(She’s the one on the right.)
I guess I’m not surprised her death didn’t generate very many headlines. She wasn’t as famous a Playboy centerfold as, say, Anna Nicole Smith, and while Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls is a cult classic, Myers wasn’t as iconic as Tura Satana, even if she did get to do the lesbian scenes with Erica Gavin.
Anyway, being a fan of both BVD and 60s era Playboy playmates, I thought I’d mention it. Plus, it’s an excuse to repost one of my favorite songs from the movie.
Almost famous,
This is dF
