I have a little article (from an unidentified publication) entitled "Great
Faces" and subtitled "Portraits from a timely advertising campaign."  The
first face featured is the ever underrated Roger Daltrey, and the ad
campaign was for Bulova Watches.  Other faces on page 2 of the article are
Morgan Fairchild ("who I've seen naked"--that's my little tribute to Jon
Lovitz of Saturday Night Live Fame), Bernadette Peters, and Johnny Cash.
The article notes that on page 3, which I didn't save, there was a photo of
Muhammed Ali.  Cathy Lee Crosby (the original Wonder Woman) was also
mentioned but I don't know if they ran her photo.


>Whislt reading the paper 2day , i noticed in 1981 the 1st tenvideos shown
>on MTV, guess who was the 4th???
>yep the guys with You Better You Bet
>Arthur in Scotland

This was an interesting tidbit of information, but WHY did sister station
VH1 skip The Who in their 'history of music videos A to Z' this past weekend??
