recent additions at the drive-in
There's yet another addition to the cheesecake section with the introduction of the new Leslie Parrish page! Parrish acted in numerous television shows and films. Her film credits include Three on a Couch, Li'l Abner, Missile to the Moon, and The Giant Spider Invasion.
Cheesecake and 007 fans take note: there's now a new page for Luciana Paluzzi at the Drive-In! While she's best remembered for her femme fatale role of Fiona Volpe in Thunderball, Paluzzi acted in numerous films and television shows from the 1950s through the 1970s, including the films Hercules, Tank Force, and Black Gunn.
Horror and beefcake fans will definitely want to check out the new David Manners page! Manners was the romantic lead in such famed horror films as Dracula, The Mummy, and The Black Cat in the 1930s, and also acted in a number of comedies and dramas.
Be sure to check out the new Now Showing page! There is a different, full-length film playing every day. Also, check out the sword and sandal Now Showing page, which features a different full-length film each week. The main Now Showing page is now one of the most popular pages at the Drive-In! (And it's terrific way to be entertained if you're surfing the site at work.)
Another entry for the cheesecake and horror sections comes in the form of the new Wanda McKay page! McKay's career was spent in low-budget programmers produced by Monogram and PRC, including Bowery at Midnight, The Monster Maker, Jungle Goddess, and Roaring City.
Those of you who love comedies and cheesecake will certainly want to go to the new Elke Sommer page! Sommer has acted in numerous comedies, spy thrillers, and dramas since the late 1950s, including A Shot in the Dark, Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number!, and Deadlier Than the Male.
If you love silent films, low-budget action adventure flicks, and westerns of all types, you'll want to see the new Richard Arlen page! Best known for his starring role in the 1927 war drama Wings, which won an Academy Award for Most Outstanding Production during the first annual Academy Award ceremony, Arlen finished his career in the 1960s in many westerns produced by A.C. Lyles.
B movie comedy fans will love the new Lupe Velez page! Velez made a big splash in the latter days of the silent era in such dramas as The Gaucho and Where East Is East, but she started and finished her career in comedies. She's probably best known for her role in the RKO Mexican Spitfire film series.
Horror and science fiction fans will want to take a look at the new Kieron Moore page! The Irish-born Moore starred in some terrific late 1950s and early 1960s horror and sci-fi flicks, including Crack in the World, Dr. Blood's Coffin, and one of my favorite movies, Day of the Triffids.
Although it's been slow-going for me since I started a new position at West Virginia University, there are more new pages coming soon. Stay tuned!
significant updates for existing pages
I'm always making 'behind-the-scenes' changes at the Drive-In, which includes setting up the entire site for a switchover to XHTML; making a semi-annual sweep through the entire site to update photos, links, films available, and filmographies; and redesigning key portions of the site, such as the Links section, to improve functionality. I'm also working on a soft redesign of the main page.
Still more new pages are under development at the Drive-In! Check the Coming Soon page for an extensive listing of upcoming pages at the Drive-In. Or, if there's an actor or actress you think would make a good addition to this site, e-mail Brian.
