Robert Easton's name may not be familiar to the public but for decades he has been the "go-to" guy for prominent actors who needed to master the art of speaking in different dialects. Easton started out as a character actor but feared that his southern accent would keep him typecast as hillbillies. He began to study regional accents and foreign languages and discovered he had an uncanny knack for not only mastering them, but for teaching them as well. In short order, he became a real life Henry Higgins, teaching such diverse talents as Charlton Heston, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert Duvall, Robert Vaughn,  Anne Hathaway and Forest Whitaker. As recently as a couple of weeks ago, he completed working with John Travolta on a project. Easton died this week of undisclosed causes at age 81. All the while, Easton worked as a supporting player and appeared in dozens of prominent films and TV series beginning in the early 1950s. Ironically, while Easton had initially wanted to avoid being typecast as eccentric country characters, he adopted just such a look in real life, sporting a long mane of white hair and a Moses-type beard.

We're pretty late in posting this, but the sheer number of press releases and event announcements submitted to Cinema Retro has ye olde editor-in-chief occasionally finding himself guilty of letting some stories slip through the cracks. This is a press release relating to the new Star Babe Invasion retro comics that we're admittedly hooked on. You gotta love any magazine that has Raquel Welch, Barbara Eden and Bette Page on the cover!

STAR BABES RETURN!

Goofa Man Productions is all tingly to announce the release of the second issue of 3-D Pete’s Star Babe Invasion Comics!

The book takes an admiring look at those charismatic, curvaceous creatures from the cosmos... STAR BABES!

“I don’t know why I tend to focus on Star Babes,” admits the head honcho of Goofa Man Productions, Mike Fisher. “I mean,

they’re voluptuous women in skimpy costumes flying around in retro spaceships, blowing things to bits with cool-ass ray

guns. Why would ANY guy be drawn to that? I just can’t figure it out,” he wonders.  

This cosmic issue features a fun commentary on Jane Fonda’s classic Star Babe flick, Barbarella. Plus, read a 3-D Pete

tale of UFO abduction as well as an analysis of the Star Babes in the original Star Trek television series. This issue has

illustrations of sexy Julie Newmar, Raquel Welch, Marta Kristen, Nancy Kovack and more! Don’t forget the full-color center

spread of a gorgeous galactic girl! SKWONK-A-DONK!

The biggest scoop in this issue is an interview with fabulous Rachelle Wood — the most famous Star Babe you’ve never

heard of! Rachelle plays one of the hottie Star Babes in the Bud Light Close Encounters commercial which has enjoyed

a tremendous amount of airtime. Rachelle reveals all her Star Babe secrets when she confesses, “I was a Bud Light Star

Babe!”
