This Saturday March 26, I will be selling and signing copies of my Corey Shaw novels at the Book Fest in the Village, in Cocoa, Florida. Come out and see me!
I'll be sharing a booth with the Space Coast Writers Guild.
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.
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.
Zhai Zhigang, born October 10, 1966 in China, is the first Chinese astronaut to perform a spacewalk. He launched aboard Shenzhou 7 in September 2008 when he performed his EVA lasting 22 minutes.
Shawn Ashmore, born October 7, 1979 in British Columbia, Canada, is probably best known for his portrayal of Bobby Drake/Iceman in four of the X-Men movies: X-Men, X2, X-Men: Last Stand, and X-Men: Days of Future Past. Shawn won an MTV Movie Award for his performance in X2.
He is one minute younger than his twin brother Aaron who is also an actor.
Gorgeous Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd, born October 6, 1973 in Cardiff, Wales, is known for his work as Horatio Hornblower and Mr. Fantastic in the Fantastic Four. I don't remember him in Titanic, but I do remember him as a jerk in San Andreas.
Nancy Barrett, born October 5, 1943 in Shreveport, Louisiana, is best known for her work on the cult television series Dark Shadows. She was married to fellow Dark Shadows actor David Ford, who played Sam Evans. She was also a bridesmaid for fellow Dark Shadows actress Alexandra Moltke, who played Victoria Winters.
