A great day! I got a letter from Warren saying my book was finally mailed!We got paid!
Mom and I bought Dad a slot machine for fifteen dollars. I bought CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN with a big thing on Roddy.
Later, Mom, Dad, Terry and I went to see BIG BAD MAMA. Mom didn't like it at all. Way too much sex! Didn't do a thing for me. I told you.
Terry and I went to the STAR TREK meeting, too! Much better than before.We got free stuff, they had slideshow, set up another meeting and discussed plans for a fanzine and a group trip to the STAR TREK con in February! I hope more than almost anything we can go. That would be a highlight of my life! My first STAR TREK con! I'm gonna dig up my STAR TREK story I started and finish it to take to the next meeting! Man, this could be great! WOW!
NOTES: My dad had loved playing the slot machines around here before organized crime was cleared out around 1960. We bought him one of those tabletop fake slot machines that came with tokens. He loved it for ages.
I guess my parents were so willing to take me to see BIG BAD MAMA because it was made up of TV stars--Angie Dickinson, William Shatner, Tom Skerritt and even that cute little thing from OZZIE'S GIRLS (Susan Sennett, later married to Graham Nash). Must have been hard to wrap their head around the fact that they could all be rolling around naked in it. And who was I kidding here? Myself? My memory is that I thought the sex scenes were HAWT!
Speaking of memory, I have only the vaguest memories of this STAR TREK meeting that seemed to make such an impact. I don't even recall what the free stuff was. If there was ever a 'zine or a trip, I wasn't involved. Sigh.

This big bad movie about Big Bad Mama was immediate drive-in theater material. It got a lot of ads on TV, but then faded into the circuit. Might have spawned a weak sequel that played on the name, but wasn't any better. Drive-ins were still operating at this point, and a not uncommon weekend date location in the mid-west.
Yes , there is a sequel to this film !! " Big Bad Mama 2" stars Angie Dickenson again , with Archie
Bunker's Place star Danielle Brisbois and Growing Pains star Julie McCullough !!
