She was great in that movie. And Red Buttons got the girl.

So There Doesn't have to be a morning after? (apologies to Small Potatoes' friend. )

Pretty obscure R.I.P. thread.

“So how did the two of you meet?”

“On a cruise ship on New Year’s Eve.”

“Oh, how wonderful!”

“Well, the ship was hit by a tidal wave, her fiancé died and the ship sank.”

Depends on how old you are. She was a fairly big name at one time.

I think it was her brother who died, so Red doesn't have to worry about her pining over a lost love.

Lynley also played Ben Richards' girlfriend in the pilot episode of a short-lived series I loved as a kid, "The Immortal."

Red was 53, she was 33 on the Posiedon. Of course when your "competition" is a priest, Jack Albertson, someone married to Stella Stevens and a kid - your odds improve.

I stand corrected.

She was kind of like Yvette Mimieux

And yeah - Stella Stevens was amazing back in the day.

Stella has had an interesting career
She was a Playboy centerfold
Her big break came in L’il Abner
She never was a Bond girl but she was the first of Dean Martin’s co-stars in the Matt Helm series
She also was an Elvis chick and even played a villainess in a Cleopatra Jones movie
She’s made $$$ in her later years appearing at shows and selling memorabilia
Plus her son, Andrew, was a successful actor

Bunny Lake Is Missing is on TCM tonight at 7 CT. I was planning on watching and I just remembered Carol Lynley starred in it with Olivier. This was scheduled to air before she died.
