Well, it’s June of 2009 which means that we’re well underway with babies born in 1959 turning 50. And I’m on that list too! In just a little over 2 months I’ll be hitting the big “L” milestone so I’m enjoying my last summer in my forties. There was much hype last year when Madonna, Prince and Michael Jackson all turned 50, but 1959 wasn’t too shabby either. If 1958 gave you the “pop” stars, 1959 got a bit darker with the births of Robert Smith (April 21) of The Cure, Ian McCulloch (May 5) Echo and The Bunneymen and Steven “Morrissey” (May 22). Other notables include, John McEnroe, Mathew Modine, Catherine Keener, Brian Setzer, Rossanna Arquette, Danny Bonaduce and Magic Johnson. And of course all my high school and college friends too!
But the person turning 50 that I hadn’t heard of in 35 years was Pamelyn Ferdin. I had a real crush on this actor when she played Edna, Tony Randalls daughter on The Odd Couple. She was also the voice of “Lucy” in 3 Peanuts specials. I loved her sexy voice then and still love it now. Take a look at this video I found of her promoting some of the work she had done with including Clint Eastwood, Shirley MacLaine and William Shatner on Star Trek.
So a big belated Happy Birthday Pamelyn!

Thanks for your post. Hope you have a legendary 50th birthday party.
You and me both, brother. I’m hitting before you…on July 11. Big milestone for us — and Danny Bonaduce! Crazy…this is not an age I ever imagined I’d be.
