Subject: SOS ANNE DE MARCO
I have been searching for a photograph either of the De'Marco
Sisters, with ANNE identified on the photo or a photo of ANNE by herself.
Should any kindhearted subscriber happens to know where I can
acquire such a photo please contact me. Better yet should someone
happen to have such a photo and can send me a scanned copy I would
be enormously grateful.

Actor Steve Stevens was on a TV episode of THE JACK BENNY SHOW. It was the
episode with Frank Sinatra from 1962. Stevens is seeking a copy on DVD to
re-watch but it turns out I don't have that episode. Used to, but not any
more. It's a common episode to find. Anyone have a copy they can make or
donate to make an actor happy?

You can count on it, folks.
Robbert's work is not only excellent in its own right; it has the pleasing
feel of such vintage material as Feg Murray's "Seein' Stars" and the like.
