HOLD IT! I THINK YOU'RE GONNA LIKE THIS PICTURE

____________

To give you an idea of just how much faith Capitol Records had in this singer-pianist when they signed her in 1957, note that the glamour shots were all taken by no less than THE Bruno of Hollywood. Alas, shortly after the last shutter on the session was snapped, Simpson opted for marriage over career, thus most of these shots have not been seen before. . .until now. I came into possession of them when Carole supplied them to me for use on the cover of her new SSJ album "Live" (and otherwise). Here is the photo the label finally decided on: a shot of Simpson looking (to my eyes) remarkably like Academy Award-winning actress Dorothy Malone.

Ronnie Deauville alert

In addition to the intro to the Ronnie Deauville "This is Your Life" episode that's been on Youtube for quite a while, Ronnie's sister Sheryl recently alerted me to two more R. D. segments from the program that have recently been uploaded to Youtube: here are part two and three. Now if one could view the entire presentation. Handsome guy. Easy to understand why Paramount Pictures had just signed him to a contract just prior to the double whammy that eventually sent his career into total eclipse.
