Alannah Myles won several Juno Awards (Canada’s counterpart to the Grammys) for Black Velvet.
Blue Velvet was a surreal/noir 1986 crime thriller directed by David Lynch and starring Kyle MacLachlan and Isabella Rosellini.
Was it really? 
Albert Dean Rosellini (born January 21, 1910) was the 15th Governor of the state of Washington for two terms from 1957 to 1965 and was the first Italian American, Roman Catholic governor elected west of the Mississippi River.
The name of the town of George, Washington, incorporated in 1957, honors the first President of the United States.
(Wiki says former Gov. Rosellini celebrated his 100th birthday on Jan. 21!)
Located near George on the banks of the Columbia River, the Gorge Ampitheater is the home of the annual Sasquatch! Music Festival.
The existence of the Bigfoot or Sasquatch has never been proven, leading most reputable scientists to include it among other mythical animals such as the Yeti, Loch Ness Monster and unicorn.
Big Foot, played by Andre the Giant, showed up on an episode of Six Million Dollar Man.
Bigfoot, based on a Ford pickup, is credited with starting the Monster Truck craze.
[del]A 1934 photograph of the Loch Ness monster that appeared in books and newspapers all over the world was admitted to be a hoax in 1993 by the 90 year old stepson of the photographer; the “monster” was a toy submarine with a plastic head.[/del]
Bigfoot (the monster truck) appeared in Take This Job and Shove It!, a 1981 film starring Robert Hays that took it’s title from a Johnny Paycheck hit song.
Robert Hays’ best-known performance was as the nebbish-turned-hero in Airplane!.
Until appearing in Airplane!, Leslie Nielson was primarily known as a dramatic actor. Airplane! established him as a comedic actor, eventually overshadowing his dramatic work.
Airplane! was based on the 1950s movie Zero Hour starring Dana Andrews.
Jim Brochu is an actor/playwright who wrote and stars in Zero Hour, a one man show about actor Samuel Joel “Zero” Mostel; much of the drama deals with Mostel’s experiences with McCarthy era blacklisting.
The original “The Producers”, co-starring Zero Mostel, was banned in Germany for years because of the song “Springtime For Hitler”.
Zero Mostel’s son, Josh, played King Herod in the 1974 movie “Jesus Christ SuperStar.”
According to a song by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, a man named Levon has a disaffected son named Jesus.
Levana is a Hebrew name that means either moon or white (hence the old Hebrew saying “L-E-V-A-N-A… that spells MOON… or White”).
The last song by Richard Rodgers to reach #1 on the Billboard charts was “Blue Moon,” as performed by the doo wop group the Marcels.
Richard Rodgers composed the music for the TV series Victory at Sea, which was narrated by Leonard Graves (no relation to Peter Graves, who’s actual last name was Aurness).
