A rare 9x7 promotional photo of Pam Rodgers for the 1967 Rose Bowl.
It cost me a bundle, but was worth every penny.
I actually have the NBC letter that came with this when it went out to TV stations.

A wonderful person by the name of F. Mills contributed this scanned image of an autographed Pamela Rodgers photo and story on behalf of the Manuel Topete Blake family.  Thank you very much, F. Mills and the entire family of Manuel Topete Blake from "Polar" Blair Whipple!  As all of you know, I do quite a bit of research on everything I discuss within Polar Blair's Den.  I left a message about Pamela on an Internet message board and darn if I didn't get a response!  Here is the answer to my query as I received it via e-mail:


Hello Blair,

I didn't meet her personally, but my grandfather did.  He worked as a Production Sound Mixer for 50 years in Mexico.  He worked with a lot of Hollywood productions that filmed south of the border.  He divorced my grandmother 20 years ago and passed away recently.  I had not seen him in years, but my grandmother gave me some autographed 8x10 pics of various celebrities that he worked with.  Among them is one of Pam Rodgers.  It's black and white and, of course, she's wearing a bikini.  My grandmother doesn't remember what movie it was, but Pam went to Mexico City's Churubusco Studios to do a film.  My grandmother says she was very kind and Pam even invited her for coffee.  My uncle took the picture to school where he disrupted class by passing the picture around.  It must have been the early to mid-sixties.

If you'd like to post it on your website, all I ask is for due credit.  "Courtesy of the family of Manuel Topete Blake" would do.  If you're interested let me know and I'll send you a scan.  Could you please send me a link to your website?  I'd like to see it.

Yours Truly,

F. Mills
