Remembering Joanna Cameron (1948-2021)


I just found out one of my all-time favorite super-heroines, Joanna Cameron, who played Isis on Saturday morning TV in the 1970s passed away October 15, 2021.  Born in Greeley, Colorado, she started her show business career in the comedy How to Commit Marriage with Bob Hope, Jackie Gleason, Tina Louise, Leslie Nielsen and Tim Matheson.  But she is probably best known for her role as the superheroine Egyptian goddess Isis on The Secrets of Isis, which aired for two seasons.  Despite its popularity, it was cancelled during the second season.  

Joanna was once listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for having appeared in the most television commercials.  She was living in Honolulu, Hawaii when she passed away from complications following a stroke.

Happy birthday, NASA astronaut Robert Cenker!


Robert Cenker, born November 5, 1948 in Menallen Township, Pennsylvania, went into space aboard Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-61-C) as payload specialist in January 1986.  It was the last flight before the Challenger tragedy later that month.

He spent over 6 days in space.
