You can find the most amazing things in the wee hours. This video circa 1978, at the height of Evil Knievel fame, is rich in so many ways. His audience watching from the apartment building (being England it was raining of course). No helmet, but does have oven mitts to protect the hands. Interesting bicycle, has Stingray style handle bars, but a 26 inch or so frame. As silly as it seems, he was out there keeping it real, he wasn’t on his ‘device’. (the channel, ‘Ozzy Man Reviews‘, is a case study in insanity itself)

Shortly before it became unwatchable, I was watching, Enter Laughing (1967). Being a heterosexual male I immediately noticed Nancy Kovack. She played on a Star Trek: A Private Little War as a witch doctor type character. On Bewitched as Sheila Sommers, Darrin’s man-stealing ex-girlfriend. She had 8 beauty titles by the time she was 20 (no need to fact check that). Like a lot of beauty queens, her last role was when she was 40. She moved to Germany and lives happily ever after.

“A native of Flint, Michigan, Nancy Kovack was a student at the University of Michigan at 15, a radio deejay at 16, a college graduate at 19 and the holder of eight beauty titles by 20.”

Then there’s the Weather Channel’s Stephanie Abrams…

There’s a million stories in the early morning, and this was one.
