Jeanne Carmen, the “little country girl” who became a 1950s pinup and actress and hobnobbed with Frank Sinatra and other stars, has died. She was 77. Carmen died of lymphoma Thursday at her Orange County home, said her son, Brandon James. Born on Aug. 4, 1930, in Paragould, Ark., Carmen picked cotton with her family before running away at 13.
“I was just a little country girl that wanted to be a movie star,” she told the Orange County Register in 1996.
ABC 7 News myTAKE - What’s Your Opinion? Carmen was still a teenager when she came to New York and, despite having no show business experience, immediately became a dancer in a Broadway show called “Burlesque,” with comic Burt Lahr.
She later went into modeling, gaining a measure of success with a series of cheesecake shots in men’s magazines. One gig turned into a new career as a trick golfer. On tour with golfer Jack Redmond, she would perform stunts such as hitting a ball out of a man’s mouth.[source:www.wjla.com]

“Beginning at 6 a.m., Monday, the 24th of December, Los Alamos time, Mountain Standard Time, the ‘Where’s Santa Claus Now’ page will track the jolly man’s progress across our planet. The International, Space & Response (ISR) Division team will use the satellite dishes high up in the Los Alamos mountains in conjunction with sensors on the FORTE satellite to track Santa.

“We expect Santa to arrive in Northern New Mexico around midnight, Mountain Standard Time, on Christmas Eve,” said Diane Roussel-Dupré of Space Data Systems (ISR-3). “As he travels the world, crossing time zones, he’s chasing midnight, hour after hour, and delivering his treasures to families everywhere.”

Together, the dish/satellite team will be able to cover the majority of the Earth’s flight paths to ensure that Santa’s whereabouts are confirmed. The team also believes that Rudolph’s glowing red nose will put out an optical and infrared light, subsequently making Nick and his reindeer team just that little bit easier to find. “source :www.canadafreepress.com
