GOODBYE, CAROL LYNLEY


You were a Harlow of your time, enough so to have even played the legendary star in a '65 bio pic.


Your pin-up persona was helpful as well in such fulfilling efforts as "Once You Kiss a Stranger"; "The Shuttered Room"; "The Maltese Bippy"; "Cops and Robin"; "The Cat and the Canary '78"; "Beware! the Blob" (aka, "Son of Blob"); "The Shape of Things to Come"; "The Beasts are in the Streets"; "Howling VI: the Freaks"; "The Four Deuces"; "The Poseidon Adventure  '72"; "Blackout '88"; and as Carl Kolchak's fetching galfriend in the horror classic, "The Night Stalker".


On episodic television, you were nonstop, covering "Hammer's House of Mystery"; "Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected"; "Rod Serling's Night Gallery"; "The Sixth Sense"; "Alfred Hitchcock Presents"; "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour"; "Monsters"; "The Invaders"; "The Virginian"; "The Big Valley"; "The F.B.I."; "Man from U.N.C.L.E."; "Mannix"; "Kojak"...and "It Takes a Thief".


You had a real charm and grace about you, Ms. Lynley, not to mention a swell singing voice when given the chance. Your beauty and tantalizing talent won't be forgotten anytime soon. If anything, it will continue to elevate, bewitch and inspire viewers far into the future and then well beyond.
