THE DANA PLATO MEMORIAL SITE
www.sitcomsonline.com/danaplato.html
Dana Plato became a huge star in the early 1980's starring with Gary Coleman in the long- running sitcom different strokes as Kimberley Cooper. When she became pregnant to rock musician Lanny Lambert she was summarily sacked from the show. Soon afterwards her mother died and her marriage to Lanny fell apart. She appeared in Playboy, was convicted for armed robbery in Las Vegas and appeared in a series of B-grade soft porn flicks before her death last year of a prescription pill overdose. Dana's tragic life cast a shadow over Hollywood and it's vicious exploitation of child stars.

IT'S THE WACKY RACES
www.hotlink.com/wacky
One of the best children's cartoons of the 60's was Hanna-Barbera's wacky races. Loosely basd on the hit film The Great Race, the plot was fiendishly simple. Eleven outlandish characters raced around the globe against each other, to become the worlds wackiest racer. In each episode the evil Dick Dastardly and his untrustworthy dog Muttley would go to foolish lengths to win the race, but were never successful. An interesting bit of trivia from the website is that the voice of Dastardly, Paul Winchell, also played Fleagle in the Banana Splits.
