Actually the girl is now 66. Pamelyn Ferdin is her name and some trivia...
She was the voice actor for Lucy Van Pelt in three Peanuts TV specials starting back in 1969.

"It's pronounced 'Boo-kay'!"

Acclaimed British actress Patricia Routledge, best known for her unforgettable role as Hyacinth Bucket in the hit sitcom Keeping Up Appearances, has died at the age of 96.

I used to work at a PBS station so I can't count how many times I've seen every episode. 😀
A scene from the British sitcom "Keeping Up Appearances". Hyacinth Bucket is on her white slimline phone explaining to a wrong caller that "No, this is NOT the Chinese takeaway".

An old wooden bench sits next to a fence on a trail to an ocean beach. The ocean and beach are visible through the trees. The caption, over the background, reads "It's funny how people say they miss you but don't even make an effort to see you".

I think his obvious musical choice was...
An album cover which features singer Donna Summer over a background filled with stars. Donna is dressed in what looks like a nightgown. The titles read "Donna Summer" and the title of the album"Love To Love You Baby" in which the title song was a hit in 1975.

First thing that came to mind, seeing that shot of the needle, was an old movie...one of my favorites.
A scene from the 1963 movie "It Happened at the World's Fair". Joan O'Brien and Elvis Presley are seated at a table in the revolving restaurant toward the top of the Seattle Space Needle (the restaurant has since been taken out). In the background we see Elliott Bay.

...well I guess we did find this gal that used to be Batgirl.
A black & white photo from the original series of Star Trek. Captain Kirk seems to be having a difficult time with an alien...maybe trying to teach her a new dance move. (Actors Yvonne Craig and William Shatner pictured)

I think Nimoy had a large variety of "bathrobes" during shooting.
Leonard Nimoy dressed in an elegant blue bathrobe, wearing his Spock ears and holding a megaphone while directing a watery scene for the movie Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

Chilly/rainy today...

So I made myself a cup of hot cocoa and pulled out an old movie I haven't watched in a while.

It's one of my favorites with Frank Sinatra and Trevor Howard...
