Joe,

I spose I misread the last line of the parenthetical statement and thought it was an addition of yours. Nevertheless, Pia Zadora, pop/torch singer of the 80's also and actress. Best know because she married someone high up in the movie/entertainment business who bankrolled her movies and record contracts. Among her recordings was "Pia & Phil" (Phil being some philharmonic orchestra) . I ran across an April '82 hit parade list, her song "I'm In Love Again" was at #68. "Chariots of Fire" was #3 that week, "Ebony & Ivory" by McCartney & Wonder debuted at 29, "Wake Up Little Susie" by Simon & Garfunkel was at #59, and "Baby Step Back" by G Lightfoot was at #71, some big names in there. Personally I don't recall any of her music. Her movie career inclued "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians," "Pajama Tops", "Butterfly," "Lonely Lady", "Voyage of the Rock Aliens," "Troop Beverly Hills," and "Pia Zadora's American Songbook". The latter an extended music video of classic Broadwas/Tin Pan Alley etc. songs. By now you're thinking, did she get any awards? Yes, In 1982 a Golden Globe for New Star of the Year In a Motion Picture for "Butterfly". And in 1983 2 Razzies for Worst Actress of the Year and Worst New Star for "Butterfly", 1984 another Razzie for "Lonely Lady" and finally in 1990 a Razzie for Worst New Star of the Decade. An illustrious career to be sure. In most of her movies I think her morphology was more in evidence than her thespianism. It took about an hour to find this useless information on the net. Probably would have taken a lot less time if 90% of the links to her name had not featured pictures of "famous" people unwrapped or just hanging out. My appologies to any who may have read all the way to the end of this. Even in my own broad and subjective definition of folk, this isn't
