STARS, STARRING ON FACEBOOK

Facebook, ah, Facebook. Come on, kiddies, let us discuss the good, the bad and the ugly of social networking.

But, one at a time, and I chose the good today.

As much as I moan, groan and slam Zucker-Kid, I am beginning to appreciate the true magnitude of the medium. Many reasons come to mind, not the least is the fact that everyone and their hamster is FBing their fingers to the nub (btw, I often wonder how it works for folks who don't really know the home keys-if you have to ask, you don't know them).

We can all agree that all the cool, young music and acting types are all over the 'net, and not simply on Facebook. Yeah, yeah-groovy and may the force of WiFi be with them.

Forget about them, for the sake of this post, hit the rewind button in your head and think older, more obscure artists. I am talking about the ones who worked in the past decades and are still into projects. You recognize their faces, names maybe not so much.

Dear ones, they are still out there working their asses off and they get precious press these days. Now, you have to make a little effort to find them, but they are there and they will friend you on Facebook. Yes, they will. Well, most of them.

Today, I bring you one, Arlene Golonka, my personal friend on FB. She was kind enough to accept my friend request, which I did on a lark. Could be some Web master is doing the work for her, but who cares?

She's done MANY things, but I give you a slice of AG on a show called, Valerie. Arlene appears around the 6:14 point, so move the needle there (unless you are enthralled at the idea of seeing a very young, Jason Bateman) and cast your gaze upon Arlene. Then, go send her a friend request.
.
I think I may be onto a new project-friending celebrities you don't really see that much anymore. See ya at the 6:14 mark!

Oh, ever heard the name, Frank Bank?

You will see him in my friend list.
