Green-eyed and dark-haired American actress Wanda Hendrix (1928-1981) achieved stardom in her teens and played in about 20 films in the late 1940s and 1950s. Her first, brief marriage was to the most decorated soldier of World War II, Audie Murphy.
Dixie Wanda Hendrix was born in 1928 in Jacksonville, Florida, to Max Sylvester and Mary Faircloth Hendrix, nee Bailley. Her father was a logging camp boss who later worked for Lockheed Aircraft. After graduation from junior high school, she joined the Jacksonville Little Theatre, where she was discovered by a Warner Brothers talent scout. The 16-years-old moved to Hollywood. She made her debut as Else, the char-girl with the thickened brogue who develops an ill-fated allegiance with Charles Boyer in Confidential Agent (Herman Shumlin, 1945). Before she was out of her teens she had starred in several other films, including the Film Noir Nora Prentiss (Vincent Sherman, 1947) with Ann Sheridan, Robert Montgomery’s exemplary 'ultra- Noir' Ride the Pink Horse (1947) and the comedy Welcome Stranger (Elliott Nugent, 1947) with Bing Crosby. In 1946, WWII hero-turned-actor Audie Murphy saw her on the cover of Coronet magazine and his mentor, actor James Cagney, called the magazine and got her address. Audie asked her to dinner, and they fell in love immediately. They got engaged in 1947 and promised her parents that they would defer marriage for two full years. Her parents moved to Hollywood, where they bought a ranch. In 1949, the young couple married and the press reported: "Audie Murphy thinks his little Hendrix honey is Wanda-ful!" However, Murphy wanted her to give up filming and move with him to Texas. He had terrible nightmares from his war experiences and always had his gun with him. During 'flashback' episodes he would turn on her, once holding her at gunpoint. In her later years, Hendrix spoke of Murphy's suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder with sympathy. Murphy had a passion for horse racing and for making big-money bets on long shots. Eventually, he gambled away all of her savings. In 1950, after 13 months of marriage, she received a divorce in 1951. Los Angeles on the grounds of mental cruelty. The couple had no children but together they produced the Western Sierra (Alfred E. Green, 1950).
Among Wanda Hendrix's best-known films are the comedy Miss Tatlock's Millions (Richard Haydn, 1948) with Richard Lund, The Prince of Foxes (Henry King, 1949), with Tyrone Power and Orson Welles, the drama Song of Surrender (Mitchell Leisen, 1949), the Western Saddle Tramp (Hugo Fregonese, 1950) starring Joel McCrea, and the adventure film The Highwayman (Lesley Selander, 1951) with Charles Coburn. Later, she starred with John Derek in the action film in Sea of Lost Ships (Joseph Kane, 1953), and she sizzled and showed off her hips in the Roger Corman–produced crime drama Highway Dragnet (Nathan Juran, 1954) with Richard Conte. In 1954, she married wealthy sportsman James L. Stack, brother of the actor Robert Stack, and she briefly retired. Her second marriage also made headlines when it came to an end in 1958 with both sides charging ''mental cruelty.'' Hendrix went to work again, on TV mostly. One of her films in this period was the thriller Johnny Cool (William Asher, 1963) with Henry Silva. According to IMDb, she developed a drinking problem in the 1960s due to the few acting roles she was offered. In 1969, she married Italian financier and oil company executive Steve La Monte in a single-ring ceremony at a plush suite of the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was 34; she listed her age on the marriage license as 33. La Monte divorced her in 1979 or 1980 (the sources differ). Despite breaking up after a year of marriage with Audie Murphy, she had continued to love him and was devastated when he died suddenly in a plane crash in 1971. She considered collaborating with author Douglas Warren on an autobiography of Murphy, but it never came to fruition. Her last role for the big screen was in the Civil War horror One Minute Before Death (Rogelio A. González, 1972), based on a short story 'The Oval Portrait' by Edgar Allan Poe. The film in which she co-starred with Barry Coe, was never theatrically released. Her final screen appearance was in an episode of the TV series Police Story (1974) with Scott Brady. In 1981, Wanda Hendrix died of double pneumonia in Burbank, California. She was 52. Hendrix was interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills.

1st album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience for sale at the Golden Nugget Antique Flea Market - Lambertville, New Jersey - USA.
Do peso de Metallica à leveza de Legião Urbana.
Dos solos americanizados de Hendrix ao som latino de Carlos Santana.
Da batida do Ac/Dc aos Riff's inconfundíveis de Led Zepplin.
Da improvisação de Chuck Berry ao clássico Gun's and Roses.
Das vozes de Beach Boys à orquestra de Brian Setzer.
Do sonho de The Wonders à realidade dos Beatles....
Sempre pensei que para o rock , não houvesse fronteiras , pois todas já haviam sido quebradas por grandes músicas e músicos , não houvesse final , mas...
O Rock atual sofre decadência , músicas iguais , letras sem sentido, é só o começo.
Muitas bandas atuais desonram o rock criado a séculos atrás , o rock que fez todos tremerem ao ligar um violão clássico (que fora tranformado em elétrico) em um amplificador.
Deixo aqui minha revolta pois na minha cidade está sendo comemorado o DIA MUNDIAL DO ROCK com bandas intituladas 'roqueiras' por uma rádio que não chama mais '89 , a rádio rock' . Bandas como Fresno , CPM22 e O Surto.
Nada contra quem goste das bandas citadas , mesmo porque ouço CPM22 , mas galera , cadê o bom e velho rock and roll ?!

I must admit that I had the words from "Purple Haze" by Hendrix playing in my head when I shot this...a few words changed, but it was there......"Excuse me, while I take this shot......bah nah nah.." cheesy I know, but then so was the moment...

Jimi Hendrix shrine on Main at Union St (Vancouver). As I understand it, this is what's left of Vie's Chicken and Steak House where Jimi Hendrix's grandmother worked, and where the young Hendrix spent his summers visiting his grandmother. Hendrix apparently busked here, and in the evenings the restaurant fed entertainers like Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Lena Horne, Lou Rawls, Billy Holiday, and Sammy Davis Jr. Sadly, the place is likely going to be torn down soon to make way for a condo building.
"Purple haze all in my brain,
lately things don't seem the same.
Actin' funny but I don't know why,
'scuse me while I kiss the sky."
("Purple Haze", The Jimi Hendrix Experience, 1967)
('Jimi Hendrix' by McFarlane Toys)
hanging out in the Mahonia (Oregon Grape) after he had a dunk in his own private pool.
He likes to roll in the dirt and get real dirty...
Hendrix is happiest in the summer months when he's wet and looks like this =)
I will post a photo of Hendrix in his pool another time for you...
Hendrix getting down and getting dirty...
Your gonna smile and giggle a bit =)
Happy Furry Friday everyone!
No new pictures yet due to busyness so here's another one from my London trip.
This was taken from the very famous well graffitied skateboard park along the South Bank of the River Thames just along from the London Eye.
I zoomed in using my Nikon 16-85 to focus on the detail of one of the pillars but composed to include some of the background with that being oof.
I saw this photographer coming along with her tripod so I waited until she was in the background to add extra interest and break up the picture.
What was very cool was the Murial I picked out on the pillar which was of the late Jimi Hendrix with the message of World Peace.
The other very very very cool thing was the picture of the cake which looks just like the picture of the cake on my stream which was made by my wife for my daughters birthday, honestly check it out on my stream and see the resemblance.
Thanks for stopping by and feel free to leave a comment.

This handout photo by Henry Diltz shows musician Jimi Hendrix at the original Woodstock festival in Bethel, New York in August 1969. The music festival took place from August 15-18. Thirty-two of the best-known musicians of the day appeared during the weekend in front of nearly half a million people, southwest of the town of Woodstock, New York.
Hendrix knew we were looking at him, and there was really nothing we could have done... he had too many hiding spots.

Noë Gold Chats With Kelly Z about ‘Hendrix Now’ (The Hendrix Backstory)
JIMI HENDRIX, the greatest guitarist – possibly the greatest musician – of all time. Do YOU love Jimi as much as I do? His story has a lot to say to all generations about life, music and spirit and that is what I undertook when I became the Creative Director of the Jimi Hendrix Foundation, and before that, Editorial Director of the Hendrix Estate under the supervision of the late Alan Douglas, curator of Jimi Hendrix' recorded music and video. First and foremost, I am a storyteller. As a veteran music and entertainment journalist going back to my stint as the Founding Editor of Guitar World and editor at Crawdaddy, that is what I do. One story that I have been known for telling and re-telling to the point of obsession is that of Jimi Hendrix.
… and the entire project is explained on my Kickstarter campaign, which was successfully launched to celebrate Jimi Hendrix' birthday November 27, Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. See the video at this link:
