The #rosssisters both young and old (two out of the three with their mother Veda). My #book of #historicalfiction about them #TheContortionists is polished and out with #literaryagents #crossyourfingers

Really sorry to hear of the death of legendary #film #producer #SamSherman I interviewed him in 2017 at his #newjersey home for my #documentary #dangergod about #stuntman #garykent and took this photo in his basement film vault. #RIP #horror #grindhouse #aladamson #portrait

The #RossSisters had planned a tour of #Australia in the late 1940s, but only Vicki made it. The first photo was taken by Jacque Leonard, whose family shared part of his journal for my #book of #historicalfiction #TheContortionists. #GeorgeCaddy shot the other pix of #beachobatics in the 1930s.

I get these almost daily for an out-of-print book I wrote. Today's version included a reference to a piece I wrote from a movie scene set in a topless bar many, many years ago.
