I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog, Laura. Sorry to read about your dad and Jeff Arnold. I appreciate the information about who's passed. I met Wings Hauser in 1991. My sister was with me. He was such a really nice man. Wings was playful, even pulling on my sister's pony tail. It was a 3 day event so we spent some time with him, and Dean Stockwell. Cat-Women of the Moon looks like fun watching. Victor Jory who's in it was in the serial from 1940, The Green Archer and wow, he did some of his own amazing fight stunts. I believe he was an expert in Judo and it shows.
