Gina Lollabrigida Rip

[boris bubbanov]

Spent my young years, looking for a girlfriend that looked like Gina, or like Ava Gardner.

Trouble was, I did find one in the 1980s, and I'd try to bring her to an "enviro" talk such as with Dave Foreman and all the Birkenstock women were scandalized. Imagine showing up with a white hot Better than Madonna look alike. It was a hoot!

So pretty in her films. But then, the Italian actresses usually are. RIP GL

I remember Gina from films like Trapeze, Solomon and Sheba, Come September, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Never So Few and a few others. Her beauty and acting skills X choosing to play roles in films with highly talented casts and crews all contributed to her well deserved fame. RIP Gina.

I had some drum lessons as a kid (pipe band stuff).
Our tutor gave us a mnemonic for septuplets...

Gi-na-lo-lo-bri-gi-da

I'd no idea who she was as a 12y/o in '79.
However cue one very worried devout Catholic mother hearing her son in his bedroom banging out 5s and 7s on the drum pad while saying Lo-lo-bri-gi-da and Gi-na-lo-lo-bri-gi-da.

Rest in peace Mrs Snaredrum.

While the actresses mentioned here are unquestionably gorgeous, I am conflicted by the idea that they are all very close to my mom's age. . .know what I mean? RIP, Gina.

She was Gina Lollapalooza in my household. RIP

I get you. I remember my 8th grade English teacher Mrs. Werntz. To this day I can remember just about every thing about her physically. Then it hits me, if she's even still alive she'd be about 80 now.
