The Lovely Holly: A One-of-a-Kind Gal

By Jason C. Klose If you grew up in the late '70s and through the '80s as I did, or even through the first half of the '90s, then you more than likely watched CBS's The Price Is Right on occasion, or  as often as you could when home from school during holidays and summer vacation. Did any of you ever pretend to be sick, just so you could stay home and watch the show in the morning? I may have done it once or twice. But did you want to watch it for the games and prizes or to see the beautiful models - or maybe a little of both? I think that many male viewers who watched the show would be willing to admit that they had a crush on at least one of the classic models at one time or another. I most certainly had mine. My personal favorite is 'The Lovely' Holly Hallstrom (as she was known), the beautiful, charming, perky, blue-eyed redhead and sometimes klutzy 'girl-next-door,' who appeared on The Price Is Right from 1977-1995. A longtime fan favorite, Holly w...

Kathleen Bradley: First African-American model on television's most popular game show

"Family life was great, and everybody was going to each other's homes every now and then," Bradley recalls. "You didn’t have to lock the doors, and you could go home before the streetlights came on."

The Voice: Linda Ronstadt

Image
By Jason C. Klose For my first post on this blog, I thought I would share an interview I did with legendary singer Linda Ronstadt in May 2015. The interview was for an article I wrote for the Centre Daily Times (State College, PA), prior to Linda's appearance at The Grand Opera House in Wilmington, Delaware. She was still on a book tour promoting her autobiography, Simple Dreams: A Musical Memoir , which was released in September 2013. While Linda was no longer able to sing due to Parkinson's disease, she made speaking appearances using a PowerPoint presentation with pictures, videos and audio clips of her amazing life and music career. Linda was  entertaining, humorous, witty, and her usual modest self, as always. Her wonderful, down-to-earth personality certainly shines through in my conversation with her, as she was so gracious with her time, which was just over an hour.  Not only did we talk about her career, but we even connected on a more personal level, as we discussed...
