How about more Dorothée? No? Well, here she is anyway, wearing her sexy pink pj’s while the Club rates the ten most popular cartoons and features for kids in 1990 France.
Speaking of anime, a Vox article from a year ago reveals the slave wages that animators are forced to accept so they can be livin’ the dream.
K3 were from Belgium, Xuxa from Brazil, and in France there was every dad’s dream mistress, Dorothée. She wore pajamas a lot on her TV show for kids.
Ultimate Grooviness!
One more time!
… remember.
Alan “Fred Flintstone” Reed and Stafford “Chief O’Hara” Repp.
Continuing my latest fascination, Here Come the Huggetts with Petula Clark. The dialogue is filled with clever throwaway lines that are easily missed, making a second viewing very worthwhile.
Pet gets a singing spot that lasts only a minute.
Playing a distant Huggett cousin “on the mother’s side,” 16-year-old Diana Dors also had a minute to show off what she could do.
Everyone shines in the movie, but if anyone’s character is underplayed it’s Susan Shaw as the middle Huggett sister. Shaw was such a stunning beauty that she didn’t need much screen time to make a big impression.
Follow-up: I thought that MGM owned Here Come the Huggetts, and maybe it does, but the Internet Archive has the complete film. It has a DogRat ***** rating!
