Bonita, Bonita, Peanut Eater.
OK, I am going to try and channel the spirit of Bonita this evening if I ever get it together to get out of the house and go to the Rock ‘n’ Roll night at the Music Palace. I will be going on my own and won’t know a single person there but it is the month of being brave so I am going to do it.
I’ve just eaten a solo portion of Marlene Dietrich’s Lamb Chops to fortify myself and have made a batch of Bonita’s Gingerbread for tomorrow’s Silver Screen Sunday. It smells mighty fine but I’ve never made Gingerbread before so am not sure how it will taste but fingers crossed Veronica will like it.
I almost chickened out of going out on my own to rub shoulders with rockabilly boys and then when I went into the kitchen to do the washing up they were playing the Stray Cats on the radio. I am taking it as a sign…
oooo i didn't even know we had a 'music palace' with neon lights and all! i would've come with you had I known – was it good?!
AW MONTY if only I had thought of it! The Music Palace is cool and these Rock and Roll nights are once a month – third Saturday I think. Let's go next month! Jx
yes please!!! 🙂
This is amazing great article im a huge fan of the golden era of hollywood Bonita was beyond adorable in the nancy drew movies and reading her biography she came across as such as serious woman very career driven but still had time for family i may be way off the mark but undeniably Bonita had some admirable qualities.
Thanks for dropping by, Curtis. I haven’t seen any of the Nancy Drew movies but will pop them on my watch list!
I havent watched any of her movies as an adult one is on my list merrily we live constance bennett is in that she was in topper with cary grant. But Bonita was in obviously Nancy Drew but also in Andy Hardys blonde trouble. Thanks for the quick reply i look forward to future postings.
