She was just one of a myriad of beautiful, statuesque, bikini-clad blondes who pranced and romped about the sand and surf of the California shores in all those nostalgic beach party movies of the "swinging '60s". In the great perky tradition of fellow blondes Sandra Dee, Linda Evans, Yvette Mimieux, and the late Sharon Tate, stunning Chris Noel, at the time, did what she did best: distract male viewers from some of the silliness around her. However, she has been less remembered than the aforementioned lovelies, all of whom went on to bigger and better things in their careers. Chris took an entirely different, and much more meaningful, route, altogether.
She was born near the water in 1941, albeit a different beach locale--West Palm Beach, Florida, to be exact. She took the standard route--cheerleader, model, beauty pageant winner--that most gorgeous girls take when trying to crash Hollywood. The incredibly photogenic teen seemed tailor-made for the camera and, sure enough, by 1963, she was appearing in her first film, Soldier in the Rain (1963), starring Steve McQueen. After a few other minor efforts, Chris received her first "Annette Funicello"-like star billing in Beach Ball (1965), opposite Edd Byrnes, in the Frankie Avalon role. But, it was the specialty performers--The Supremes, The Four Seasons and The Righteous Brothers--who were noticed in that flick, not the actors. Wild Wild Winter (1966) provided Chris a second chance as a lead and she also booked a secondary femme part in Elvis Presley's Girl Happy (1965), but nothing much came out of them, either. Though Chris made appearances in such TV series as Perry Mason (1957), Bewitched (1964) and a few Bob Hope specials, she was not satisfied with her career...or her life.
A tour of a VA hospital in 1965 altered her destiny, forever. Based on her minor pin-up celebrity, Chris impulsively auditioned for the Armed Forces Network (AFN) and started hosting her own radio show for the GIs in Vietnam, frequently flying to that war-torn country and visiting remote areas considered too risky for Bob Hope's USO shows. She became the GIs' favorite sexy radio and show personality while putting her own life on the line. As it turned out, Vietnam veterans would become her prime mission and life's work long after the war. In the 1970s, Chris began to suffer from postwar trauma. Any attempt to resurrect her Hollywood career in the 1970s and 1980s would be short-lived due to her stress, ill health and depression. Moreover, her first husband, a Green Beret captain (they married in Vietnam) suffering from the same postwar syndrome as Chris, killed himself during the Christmas holiday season of 1969. Chris' two subsequent marriages also ended in divorce.
Persevering, she ventured into the operation of shelters for veterans in Florida during the 1990s, becoming a durable symbol for those who fought the unpopular fight. Chris Noel--a remarkable, courageous lady who could have just rested on her laurels as another beautiful Hollywood face, but didn't. She deserves to be remembered as such.- Writer

Though almost completely unknown, this man was one of the originators of a highly popular and groundbreaking new form of comedy and satire.
After working on the Harvard Lampoon as an undergraduate, Douglas C. Kenney co-founded the National Lampoon magazine and the National Lampoon Radio Hour.
Kenney had originally collaborated at Harvard with friend, Henry Beard, and founded the National Lampoon, where the two pooled their talents and created a radical new humor magazine. Humor that was sophomoric, rebellious, off-color, vulgar and just plain laceratingly funny.
The Lampoon's humor was considered radical. Not only was the magazine an all-time best seller - particularly the infamous cover of the gun pointed at the family pet: "If you don't buy this magazine, we'll kill this dog". Kenney had broadened his comic touch all over. He and other members of the Lampoon had written books - the most popular being the "1964 High School Yearbook Parody" in 1974 (co-edited by P.J. O'Rourke). Written like a real yearbook and spoofing all the things that make them almost embarrassing and funny in their own right, Kenney and his cohorts had certainly written a little masterpiece.
Another best-selling classic of his was the cult favorite "Bored of the Rings", a humorous little take on Mr. J.R.R. Tolkien's legendary best-seller. The book was a best-seller and thanks to the release of Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning live-action adaptation of the novel trilogy, the book got another printing. Kenney's legacy was living on.
Another piece of his was "Mrs. Agnew's Diary", that roasted the Nixon administration.- Actor

Ray Buffer, born in 1969 as Raymond Ernest Buffer, Jr., is a multifaceted American talent renowned for his contributions to both the entertainment industry and the world of music. Growing up in the vibrant landscapes of Greenacres, Florida, he was raised by Delana and Raymond Ernest Buffer, Sr., who instilled in him a love for creativity and performance. His ancestry, rooted in Europe, provided a rich cultural backdrop for his artistic endeavors.
At just 29 days old, Buffer was welcomed into the Buffer family through adoption, embarking on a journey to discover his roots later in life. In 2003, after a diligent search, he reunited with his birth mother, Patricia Odell, expanding his family to include newfound maternal relatives. Despite this reunion, his birth father's identity remains a mystery, adding layers to his personal narrative.
Buffer's artistic journey began with music, as he displayed a natural talent for the violin from an early age, later mastering various instruments. However, it was the theater that captured his heart during his formative years at John I Leonard High School in Lake Worth, Florida. There, he flourished in theatrical productions, showcased his musical prowess in jazz choirs, and exhibited his instrumental skills on the viola, piano, and string bass.
Continuing his pursuit of the arts, Buffer pursued higher education at Palm Beach State College and Florida Atlantic University, ultimately earning a BFA in musical theatre in 1994. Throughout the 1990s, he honed his craft through performances in regional and dinner theater productions, showcasing his versatility as both a performer and director.
In 1992, Buffer married the talented writer and actress Roberta McMillan, with whom he embarked on various creative projects, including the 2003 production and direction of the acclaimed documentary film "Rats & Bullies." This endeavor shed light on relational aggression and its devastating consequences, earning accolades at film festivals and sparking a nationwide dialogue on bullying. They separated in 2009, and finalized the divorce by 2019.
Relocating to Huntington Beach, California, in 1999, Buffer expanded his artistic horizons, delving into television and film with guest-starring roles that showcased his range as an actor. His career soared to new heights with notable appearances, including a memorable stint on the acclaimed series "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
In 2007, fueled by a passion for storytelling, Buffer departed from a managerial role at Long Beach Opera to establish his own theater company, The Relevant Stage, in San Pedro, California. This venture allowed him to produce an array of captivating musical theater works until 2011 when he co-founded Art-In-Relation with business partner Jonas Sills.
With Art-In-Relation, Buffer continued to make waves in the theatrical landscape, staging productions in Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Hollywood. Meanwhile, his commanding presence and resonant voice led to numerous portrayals of Santa Claus across various media platforms, further solidifying his status as a versatile performer.
Today, Buffer remains a prominent figure in television, film, and theater, captivating audiences with his dynamic performances and enriching storytelling. As a sought-after concert soloist and voice-over artist, he continues to leave an indelible mark on the entertainment world, all while calling Long Beach, California, his home.
