A Picture Perfect Promo

Today, we offer some pictures of the lovely and talented Jean Seberg (1938-1979).

Why? No reason other than we want to call attention to the fact that a Friend of Shades of Gray is going to be screening "The Mouse That Roared" (1955) on his YouTube Channel. The photos below are mostly publicity stills for the film where she plays Helen, the daughter of a scientist who claims to have invented the most powerful bomb ever created.

Whether you can make the live YouTube broadcast and chat with fellow movie fans, or you watch "The Mouse That Roared" later, we're sure you'll enjoy Peter Sellars, William Hartnell, Jean Seberg, and the rest of the great cast in this classic comedy!

A bigger bang for the Fourth of July!

On this Fourth of July, Dana Plato's years of research into how to get a REALLY big bang is being put into practice. (If your windows shatter, it means we've had a Best Independence Day Celebration Ever here at Shades of Gray.)

Happy Fourth of July!

Happy birthday to Lexa Doig!

Canadian actress Lexa Doig set her heart on a life in front of audiences and cameras at an early age, so she dropped out of high school to pursue a career in modeling and acting. By 19, she landed her first major television role (playing "Cowgirl" in two "TekWar" movies and in the television series from 1994 - 1996).

As the 2000s arrived, she became a mainstay of sci-fi and fantasy television series, having a starring role leading parts on "Andromeda" (2000 - 2005) and popping up in almost any sci-fi/fantasy series or major made for TV movie in recurring supporting roles or one-shot guest appearances.

Doig even stepped onto the big screen, performing the starring role in "Jason X" (2001), a sci-fi take on the venerable slasher "Friday the 13th" series where Doig and the unstoppable homicidal maniac of the title are revived in a distant future to resume a battle that had remained unfinished. It's my personal favorite among the Jason/Friday the 13th films, and it's the only one I own a copy of.

Doig remained as busy as even as the 2010s arrived, remaining in front of sci-fi fans in series like "Continuum" (2012-2014) and "Arrow" (as a recurring guest-star during the 2017 season), but also branched increasingly out into dramas and mysteries; Doig has been a very popular co-star of the "Aurora Teagarden Mysteries" made-for-TV movies from 2015 through 2022 -- 16 films so far!

Today, Doig turns 50 years old. We celebrate this milestone with a small gallery of pictures  of her in little-more-than her birthday suit.
