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 Bailey. 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.

James Marshall Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 – September 18, 1970) was an American musician, singer and songwriter. Despite a limited mainstream exposure of four years, he is widely considered to have been the greatest electric guitarist in the history of popular music, and one of the most important musicians of the 20th century.
Influenced musically by American rock and roll and electric blues, following initial success in Europe with his band the Jimi Hendrix Experience, he achieved fame in the US after his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. Later, he headlined the Woodstock Festival in 1969 and the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970, before dying from drug-related asphyxia at the age of 27.
Instrumental in developing the previously undesirable technique of guitar amplifier feedback, Hendrix favored overdriven amplifiers with high volume, gain and treble. He helped to popularize the use of the wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock, which he often used to deliver tonal exaggerations in his solos. He also pioneered experimentation with stereophonic phasing effects in rock music recordings.
The recipient of several prestigious rock music awards during his lifetime and posthumously, the Jimi Hendrix Experience was inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992, and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. English Heritage erected a blue plaque to identify his former residence on Brook Street, London, in September 1997. Rolling Stone ranked his three non-posthumous studio albums, Are You Experienced (1967), Axis: Bold as Love (1967) and Electric Ladyland (1968) among the 100 greatest of all time; they ranked him the number one greatest guitarist and the sixth greatest artist.
Watercolor on 1/4 sheet Fabriano hotpress watercolor paper. I just took a workshop with Bev Jozwiak. She uses totally different paper and a different color palette than I am used to so it was a learning experience. This is one of the paintings I started in the workshop and one of 2 portraits I attempted.
Tracy 168 is as old school as they come. He was born in 1958 and was tagging subway cars since the 1960's, so long ago that he is credited as the father of the complicated and intricate form of tagging known as "Wildstyle."
I had the privilege of meeting Michael Tracy many years ago. He was also a pioneer in making money from his art. When a nightclub in my Bronx neighborhood called "French Charley's opened, it was around 1974, Michael Tracy had gotten the commission for the mural on the side of the building.
This nightclub was on Webster Avenue and Moshulu Parkway. Back then art work going up on the side of building was big news and many of us learned a great deal about his art. Learned even more when he accompanied the younger crowd to the park for a few cold ones after a day of painting.
French Charley's along with that park scene mural are long gone now but the rumors of Michael Tracy's death were greatly exaggerated. Every now and then, New Yorkers can see a fifty-seven year old man with a lot of personality out there doing his thing. Sometimes it's a tribute to Jimi Hendrix.
My tribute to Mr. Jimi with all the appropriate psychedlic stuff. 50 years on and he is still the gold standard.

A mostra “Hear My Train Comin’: Hendrix Hits London” trouxe peças de roupas usadas pelo artista entre os anos de 1966 e 1967, além de guitarras icônicas e letras de sua autoria. A expo ficou em cartaz no shopping JK Iguatemi São Paulo em julho de 2015.
This is my tribute to the famous guitarist “Jimi Hendrix” who using Fender Stratocaster.
He has many features to present, messy hair, fancy clothing, and his right-handed guitar upside down. So it is worth to try and honestly the reddish brown parts are much easier to get for me.
In the beginning I built the smaller Stratocaster for a scale to image the whole model I want. What I want? I want to make a action figure who can play the guitar with power function!
During the progress the most difficult part is how to place the mechanism, hand posing and build the shape of his clothing at the same time.
I put a lot of effort to build the body part, minimize the mechanism and make the structure sturdy, really happy to see how it turn out.
Hope you like this guitar hero I built.

how much would you wager that this man went to see Jimi Hendrix back in the day? respect to the man who has seen much.

Jimi Hendrix Experience, ‘Are You Experienced?’, 1967. The Summer of Love, Sgt Pepper’s, and this debut album. It’s hard for us now to realise just how big an impact Hendrix made back then. Beyond the myth and legend, which doesn’t need telling here, there’s the music. Hendrix had the chops but loved what the studio could do. This album is a Sixties classic that still holds up.
I’ve gone for the US release of this album as it includes singles that flopped in the US first time around: ‘Purple Haze’, ‘Hey Joe’, ‘The Wind Cries Mary’. Flops? Can you imagine? Stone cold classics each. ‘Wind Cries Mary’ is a lovely ballad, demonstrating Jimi wasn’t all sturm und drang guitar attack. ‘Manic Depression’ blasts away in waltz time. ‘May This Be Love’ is gentle and fluid. ‘Third Stone From the Sun’ is rippling and jazzy and atmospheric with a great riff and guitar break. It’s about planet Earth, man. ‘Foxy Lady’ is just a great dirty riff and electricity. ‘Fire’ is a solid, funky, fast danceable blaze of a tune. ‘I Don’t Live Today’ another riff. ‘Are You Experienced’ sounds like Vietnam with chiming piano, backwards guitar, trippy lyrics and guitar.
For a trio, the Experience made a big sound. Mitch Mitchell’s drumming swings from jazzy to straight balls-out rockin’. Noel on bass keeps things locked. Hendrix never liked the sound of his own voice, but I’ve always liked it. It’s Hendrix on guitar that makes it all special though, obvs. It’s an extension of him, notes and chords tumbling out as easy as breathing. He looked cool too. Legend.
