Hollywood Icons Curtis and Fisher Pass Same Week

Stars Eddie Fisher and Tony Ccurtis Pass Same Week
Two of the biggest Hollywood stars passed within a week of each other, first Eddie Fisher at 82 and then Tony Curtis (aka Bernie Schwartz) at 85. Though Fisher was known more for his singer and Curtis for his acting, they probably became better known in later years for their off screen exploits - following similar life paths winding their ways through ' booze and broads.'

REBIRTH, RESHAPING OF ICONIC DRIVEIN

Floyd Cramer - Boogie Woogie
(Editor's Note: In a previous 'life' of this website we promoted 'Saving The Kwik Way,' the iconic 50s hamburger drivein in Oakland , CA where I spent many a good time and hamburgers, going back to when they cost 19 cents. Even tshirts with the moniker 'Save the Kwik Way' seemed to go for naught.
