Bonus video! Rita Moreno's Elvis Story, Googie Rides Again, and Doris Day is THIRSTY
Added 2021-12-19 18:01:01 +0000 UTCWell hello! Time for another bonus video, which if you can't see it above give this little link a tap and you should be on your way to bonus town:

This week's highlights include a few more fun stories about Rita Moreno -- the time she dated Elvis to make Marlon Brando jealous, and also a 2011-ish reprise of her delightful Googie Gomez character from The Ritz. Oh and speaking of The Ritz, you know who else is in that movie? The answer ... might surprise you. ALSO! I would like to give you just a little peek into a 1970s gossip magazine, which seems to suggest that Doris Day is going through something. And also I want to introduce you to a 18th-century poet who I believe, if he was alive today, would 100% be an Instagram dog-dad twink.
