Words From The Webmaster:
The Music Department was my big goal for this month, and it took a lot of work. But, as usual, I added a few things to the already-existing Departments. I also added the Cars Department.
One thing I'm proud to bring to Polar Blair's Den is scans of VHS covers for various pages in the entertainment-related Departments. Some of these scans date back almost nine years! Some, of course, were done more recently. VHS covers are nostalgic now, as the format has been almost completely wiped out from stores and video manufacturers. I think of them as mini-movie posters. They're cool to see and I hope you like them, too!
I started a Facebook page, which I tell you more about in the Contact area of this newsletter. I hope to see you there! I'm very happy with the friends I've made so far on Facebook; actors, fans, musicians, writers, etc. It's worth checking out. I also started a group on Facebook called "The Official Quinn O'Hara Fan Club" and it's open for anyone to join. Check that out, too.
As usual, thanks for your continued interest in Polar Blair's Den. I hope that you find my website, and this newsletter, to be very entertaining.
Gayle
Caldwell- Major changes to the feature of the
singer/actress. Visit her page in "Beauties
of the Beverly Hillbillies".

Matthias Hues- NEW FEATURE! Muscular, long-haired, blond German action star of American action movies. Usually plays bad guys, and has made quite a career for himself as a movie "heavy" since 1988. He also happens to be a nice guy in real life. I heard from him once via e-mail in 2002.
Victor Jory- NEW FEATURE! Popular character actor who also had successful lead roles, like the superhero "The Shadow" in the 1940 serial.
Sylva Koscina- Popular actress of foreign films, best remembered as "Hercules' woman" in both of Steve Reeves' Hercules movies. Tons of new pics!

NEW
DEPARTMENT! Cars are interesting, what can I say? Unless
you're dead or a vegetable, you can't help being fascinated by these
rolling metal masterpieces.
It's a small Department, now, but you can see how big it will become. Right now, I have a feature on the very first Woody Station Wagon (the 1923 Star), and Jeep. I cover exciting supercars from film and television like the 1966 Batmobile, the 1958 Plymouth Fury "Christine", and The Coyote from "Hardcastle & McCormick". More are coming!

Music: VISIT THIS DEPARTMENT!
NEW DEPARTMENT! This was a long time coming. The
Music Department needed major changes in look and functionality.
There is still a lot of room for growth, but my main objective was to
get everything uniform. I think you'll agree that the Music
Department is lookin' good, now!
I couldn't get ALL of the features back up this month, but they are ALL returning. I do, however, have some new artist features.
The Gayle Caldwell feature has been given major retooling. She has been given many new pages and tons of pictures. I even have a page for her highly sought album Celebration of Life from 1968. ALL THIS, AND SONG CLIPS! Play this clip from "No One in the Boat" from her new CD, All is One.

Black
Scorpion (2001)- I've added more episode descriptions, and
more photos. I'm also spotlighting key actors and characters in

(the woman Phil Spector killed)? Interesting show. Worth
checking out.

What's Next?:
Next month, I plan to fill in some of the
already-existing Departments. Expect new additions to
Actors/Actresses/Performers, Cars, Comics, Music, and Television.
I've got most of March "booked", so I can't promise any new
Departments. I CAN tell you that the next new Department I will
be
working on is Cartoons. It was always a very popular attraction,
and I have more on Mighty Mouse than anyone else on the Internet.
I hope you have been enjoying the rebirth of Polar Blair's Den. When I decided to revamp the website middle of last year, I knew it would be a huge undertaking. I thank all of you for sticking around, checking out my pages, and, of course, subscribing to the newsletter.
