Sorry to hear of the death at age 68 of actor-writer Michael Blodgett. He had a pretty successful career as a novelist but most folks will remember him as Lance Rocke, the dislikable stud who got his head lopped off in the classic movie, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. Me, I'll remember him best as the host of Groovy, a bizarre local (in Los Angeles) TV show that I wrote about here. Here's a link to the L.A. Times obit which reminded me of his short-lived talk show. As I recall, he was pretty good at it.
