Kay Lenz: autographs

Here are four incredible photos of Kay Lenz, each one featuring an autograph. I can't vouch for the authenticity of the autographs, but I can say with certainty that the actress looks absolutely lovely in each image!

Taryn Power and The Hardy Boys

A while ago, we took a look at Taryn Power in the 1977 movie Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger. That same year, the actress also appeared on television as the featured guest star on an episode of the The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries. In the episode "The Mystery of King Tut's Tomb," Taryn Power does a great job (fabulous hair, powerful eyes) and after watching it, one wishes that she would have continued her acting career in earnest. After 1977, however, Taryn Power would only make sporadic film/TV appearances but it is extremely safe to say that, with her beauty and charming screen presence, she could have done some great things!

Here are some images of Taryn Power on The Hardy Boys Mysteries:

Girls with Glasses: Janet Leigh in Grand Slam

In 1967, Janet Leigh was top-billed in the international heist film Grand Slam. During the first half of the movie, Janet Leigh (portraying the icy assistant to the boss of a diamond exchange in Rio) wears glasses. She pulls the look off very well and it contrasts nicely with her non-glasses look later in the film.

Of course, Janet Leigh eventually loses the eyewear...and here is the result:

Sally Gray in I'll Get You

In 1952, British actress Sally Gray starred in her final film, I'll Get You (originally titled Escape Route in the UK). The movie can be seen as a blessing or a curse. In one way, it was great to see the actress on screen one more time and paired with a famous American actor, George Raft. On the other hand, I'll Get You is not exactly a masterpiece, rather a cheaply made acceptable time-waster. Sally Gray's second to last film, Obsession (also known as The Hidden Room), released in 1949, may have been a higher note to retire on...but it really was a pleasure to view the legendary actress one last time (and I'll Get You really isn't all that bad).

One may easily note the grace with which this woman was aging. Though not even close to 40 years old when she retired from the screen, it is very safe to say that Sally Gray could have continued on as a leading lady for many years after had she wished it.

Here are some images of Sally Gray in I'll Get You:

Jo Ann Harris on The Virginian

In 1971, Jo Ann Harris was a guest star on an episode of The Virginian (known as The Men from Shiloh in it's final season). In the previous year, the actress had appeared on another episode of the show, albeit in a smaller capacity. Jo Ann Harris was no stranger to Old West television, having already appeared on episodes of Gunsmoke and The High Chaparral (and she would go to appear in a TV pilot for an adaptation of Cat Ballou and in 1979 would co-star in Wild Wild West TV movie).

Jo Ann Harris's guest role on The Virginian is perhaps one of her best early roles (given that several of her early roles are not easily seen due to their obscurity). The actress, though around 21 years old at the time, is given the role of a much younger girl...a problem she would face in the early 1970s until breaking out of the typecasting by starring in an exploitation film called Act of Vengeance in 1974.

Jo Ann Harris on The Virginian in 1971

Shortly after Jo Ann Harris appeared on The Virginian, she would be seen on the big screen in the Clint Eastwood film The Beguiled. Her television role could possibly be seen as a precursor to her movie role, with her natural sexuality magnified greatly for the silver screen.
