Miami Vice had only been on the air for a few months when show creator Michael Mann heard Glenn Frey's song "Smuggler's Blues" on the radio and had an epiphany. Mann commissioned an episode with the same title, had some of the song lyrics worked into the dialogue, and then he brought in Frey himself to play pilot Jimmy Cole. REDDIT

Carrie Fisher was a Hollywood actress and writer most known for playing Princess Leia in the Star Wars series. In the 1970's she was cast for the role of Princess Leia and starred alongside Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford. The three stars would later become lifelong friends.
She would reprise her role and appear in at least six other Star Wars films. She even appeared on the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special. She would later admit that she would not have accepted the role had she known that it would have such a major effect on the lives of her parents. REDDIT
The Flintstones was initially an animated sitcom produced by Hanna-Barbera for ABC but has since spawned movies, television specials, and other media. The series centers around mainly the Flintstones family but also heavily features their friends and neighbors the Rubbles.It takes place in a Stone Age setting, in the town of Bedrock and combines elements of the prehistoric past with more modern living conveniences. It depicts dinosaurs, cavemen, and woolly mammoths all living side-by-side with pre-industrial technology.
It was the first animated series to run in a prime-time slot and was broadcast from September 30, 1960, to April 1, 1966. The Flintstones is now ranked as the second greatest cartoon of all time (behind The Simpsons) and was the most financially successful network animated franchise until The Simpsons debuted. REDDIT
Believe it or not, Frank Sinatra was actually arrested and charged with adultery and seduction. Apparently having an affair was a crime in Bergen County, New Jersey back in 1938 and Ol' Blue Eyes Sinatra, wasn't about to get away with wooing a married woman.
He was 23-years old at the time of the arrest and according to reports his bond was set for $1,500 but was lowered to $500 after the charges of "seduction" was changed to "adultery"... apparently, the seduction aspect was worse? Eventually, all the charges were dismissed because sanity prevailed. More than likely her husband didn't care to press charges.

"A Look Back at the 60's & 70's Through Photographs" from Groovy History
Many Readers have commented that they are really enjoying this Multi-Part Feature ; here are the Links to the First 16 Parts....
Paul McCartney married Linda Eastman on March 12, 1969, in a small civil ceremony-when Eastman was four months pregnant with their first of three biological children, Mary McCartney. Paul legally adopted Linda's daughter, Heather, from her first marriage and then the couple went on to have two more kids, Stella and James McCartney.
Sadly, Linda died on April 17, 1998, of breast cancer at the age of 56-years old. According to McCartney he and Linda spent less than a week apart during their entire marriage, (aside from McCartney's incarceration for drugs in Tokyo back in 1980). Paul later credited his wife as the woman who "gave me the strength and courage to work again", referring to his depression after the break-up of The Beatles. REDDIT
Pictured here are The Beatles back in 1960 after having just formed. The relatively small rock band began to make significant headway by playing in the "underground club scene" and embarking on several mini-tours throughout Hamburg Germany and all around Britain.
original bass guitarist, Stuart Sutcliffe only stuck around for two years before deciding to leave the band and focus on his artwork. Sadly he collapsed in Hamburg on 10 April 1962 after having suffered from headaches and light sensitivity for days. He died in the ambulance while in route to the hospital. The official cause of death was a cerebral hemorrhage. REDDIT
Clint Eastwood came from a wealthy background but did so poorly in school that he was held back; rumor has it that he never actually graduated at all. He tried his hand at acting and now he's a legend.
Between the years of 1954 and the 1960s, Clint had minor roles in numerous films and TV shows and was often uncredited. It wasn't until the 70's that his work finally received major and positive reviews. He had another turning point in 1971 when he made his debut as a director for the film Play Misty for Me; the New York Post praised his performance and skills as a director. REDDIT

Local Artist works on Sculpture for the Tom Majors Wood Art Invitational
The Key West Tropical Forest is partnering with The Studios of Key West which is hosting the "Tom Majors Wood Art Invitational". This is a month-long, island-wide celebration that will be held in March, 2019. It will showcase the creative potential of wood, and by extension, a statement of faith that the intersection of humankind and nature needn't be disastrous, but can result in objects and experiences filled with beauty and meaning. The Studios of Key West, in addition to serving as the hub for the invitational, will host "With the Grain", an exhibition of contemporary wood artists from across the country.
As a part of the Wood Art Invitational, local artist, Perry Arnold is working in the Tropical Forest and Botanical Garden to create an art piece out of our "Champion" Black Olive that was felled during Hurricane Irma last September. The work is a 3-month project and will be a beautiful showpiece when completed. Please come out to the garden and watch Perry as he works on his sculpture. The work site is located along the Garden's Boardwalk.
The Key West Botanical Garden Society is still waiting on our FEMA reimbursement from the State of Florida for our cash outlay in restoring the Garden after Hurricane Irma. Because of this, our operating funds are very low and any contribution you could make at this time would greatly help the garden until our FEMA money comes through.

Part 18 Continues "Groovy History's" A Look Back at the 60's & 70's Through Photographs
Robin Williams and Christopher Reeve became lifelong friends after meeting and rooming together at Julliard back in 1973.
Then, in 1978, they both became aliens that crash-landed into popular culture; Williams as Mork on the hit TV sitcom
Mork & Mindy
, and his best friend Reeve as the Kryptonian superhero himself, in Richard Donner's film,
Superman
.
Reeve later recalled first meeting Williams in his autobiography,
Still Me:
"I'd never seen so much energy contained in one person. He was like an un-tied balloon that had been inflated and immediately released. I watched in awe as he virtually caromed off the walls of the classrooms and hallways. To say that he was 'on' would be a major understatement. There was never a moment when he wasn't doing voices, imitating teachers, and making our faces ache from laughing at his antics. His name, of course, was Robin Williams."REDDIT
Audrey Hepburn, the doe-eyed British actress who starred in Breakfast at Tiffany's and became a film and fashion icon seemingly overnight. Over the years, Hepburn began appearing in fewer films and devoting more time to the United Nations Children's Fund. She became a Goodwill Ambassador for the UNICEF and worked in some of the poorest communities in Africa, South America, and Asia. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of her efforts. REDDIT
Grace Kelly spent six years as an actress during the 1950's before becoming the Princess of Monaco. But it wasn't just a career she had before becoming a princess, it was a whole life, filled with friends, flings, and even a rumored engagement to fashion designer Oleg Cassini.
Letters surfaced years after her death that not only confirmed her engagement to the designer but also suggested she had a romantic relationship with Hollywood's legendary leading man, Clark Gable.
This 'suggestive' passage was written in 1953 while Grace Kelly was in East Africa filming John Ford's Mogambo, in which she was co-starring with Clark Gable.
'Yesterday we had a day off,' she wrote. 'Clark and I rode in a jeep for three hours to get to Bukoba, the nearest town on Lake Victoria. We had a horrible lunch . . . then a delicious swim in the Lake. We had to go in in our underwear. It was a riot as you can well imagine . . .

UNITED WAY OF THE FLORIDA KEYS
SEEKS VOLUNTEERS FOR TAX PREPARATION PROGRAM
Florida Keys -
United Way of the Florida Keys is seeking volunteers to assist with a free tax preparation program for households with limited incomes in Monroe County. Volunteers are needed to work as IRS-certified tax prep assistants or greeters. Bilingual volunteers are especially needed as tax prep assistants, greeters or translators.
After attending a free, one day, hands-on training in early January, volunteers assist at tax preparation events scheduled regularly throughout the Keys, January - April. Volunteers' scheduling and location are flexible. (Translators are welcome but not required to participate in the one-day training.)
Through this program, volunteers help fellow Keys residents maximize their tax return so they are better able to provide for their families, thereby making our community more affordable. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn, grow and serve.
The VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program is designed to assist qualified taxpayers with completion of their annual tax returns and to ensure that limited income families receive every available benefit. UWFK is pleased to offer the VITA program through grants from Volunteer Florida and Wells Fargo.
For more information about becoming a VITA volunteer, please contact VITA@KeysUnitedWay.org or 305-735-1929.
About United Way of the Florida Keys: United Way of the Florida Keys is an independent, local 501(c)(3) organization that has been supporting the Keys community for more than 30 years. UWFK supports strong working families and funds nonprofits that provide critical services to Keys residents. Money raised in the Keys stays in the Keys. United Way also plays a unique role in convening businesses, nonprofits and government to work together to address community needs. For more information, visit our website: www.keysunitedway.org or call (305) 735-1929. Give. Advocate. Volunteer. LIVE UNITED.

Headshots by Susann D'Antonio Hanging ALL of December
New work by Susann D'Antonio is being presented at Frangipani Gallery.

Other members of the cast have walk on parts, the peacock, parrots, the magnificent frigate. Stage left are a supporting cast of fat little chick sculptures as the stand ins for the main cast.

widely known for his
off-the-wall and humorous creations.
A self-taught artist,
Thomas Ferron Bell began his career at the age of 16 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, moved to Fire Island Pines, New York when he was 21, later splitting his time and talents between there and Key West, Florida. Bell worked full time as an artist, cultivating his audience and frequently bartering and donating his work to fundraisers in the Key West community.
