The Puppy As many of you may know, the Lady recently gave birth to a puppy. I was quite surprised there was only one--the Lady had grown so large, I thought there would be at least 4 or 5 puppies in her litter. I suppose it was just as well that the Lady only had one puppy as this puppy is rather...well, to put it nicely, slow. My puppies were all walking within a couple weeks and this one can't even get up on all four paws yet. Also, the Lady is STILL feeding that puppy her milk. I weaned my pups at the ripe age of 8 weeks--it's now been about 20 weeks and the Lady shows no signs of stopping. I suppose she feels sorry for that puppy. It's been rather sad, plenty of people have come to see the puppy, but no one wanted to take her home with them. I know that it is customary to keep the "pick of the litter" but I don't know if you can call a single puppy "the pick". I will try to get used to her.
Maybe I'll take this puppy under my paw and give her some elocution lessons and perhaps some dancing tips. That is, as soon as she decides to use her paws for locomoting instead of sucking.
The Love Boat Oh, my fans! I'm so excited I can scarcely put paw to keyboard. I've been asked to do a cameo in the new Love Boat movie. They haven't actually started shooting it yet (for those of you not in the "biz", that means "filming the picture") but I'm ready. I'm no stranger to amour on the high seas. While not a main character, I did appear twice on the television show--once as the "better half" of a couple trying to rekindle their relationship.
And the second time, I played one of Miss Charo's children.
Both of these roles definitely stretched my acting chops. Mmmm...chops! I haven't heard what part I'll be playing yet, but I'm certain with me being "versed in the vessel", I will play a LARGE role. I'll keep you posted, my fans!
Let's Do the Continental I apologize for keeping my public waiting for an update from ME. I've been rather busy picking up odd jobs here and there to fill up the gas tank for my Lincoln. Yes, my fans, it is me you've seen driving around town.
I must say that that Lincoln Continental, while being a very stylish car for a star to gadabout in, is quite the 'gas guzzler'. In fact, last week, I was fit to be tied! I went out to meet a friend for a cooling cocktail at the local casino lounge and the Lincoln ran out of gas on my return trip! I quickly called Kiko at home and told her to cover for me so the Lady and the Man wouldn't notice I was gone. Luckily, my dance training has the ol' paws in good shape and I trotted home in record time. If you have some gas you could spare (Kiko offered, but I believe she meant something more base!)...let me know.
Spam (mmm...) Some of you may be wondering "Nora, how did you become so computer savvy as to make your own web page?" That, my fans is a sad story. But it is a sad story with a happy ending. Some time ago, the acting offers stopped pouring in as they once had (can you believe it?!). They said I was "too flighty", "difficult to work with", "not a good hunter". I soon found myself on skid row. Yes, my fans, I was dropped off at the pound. Can you believe this star slipped so low? I had lost my stellar sparkle and it looked like it was curtains for this ol' girl. But some people came, saw my face, and recognized the STAR within! They took me to their clinic, cleaned me up and set me back on my paws. Those SPCA people do a nice service for dogs in a tough spot. I awaited my fate at the SPCA. One morning, the Man and the Lady came into take a look at me as they had seen my still on the internet.
Well, honey, I put on my best act! I played the soft, sweet orphan to the hilt and they bought it! I now had a permanent home. But Nora, you may say, that still doesn't explain your technological prowess? Well, once I moved into the home, I needed to get some work to pay for my automobile (more on that another time). I needed to work from home as my waistline had expanded.
I tried to tell myself (and others) that I was studying for a part that called for the extra pounds. Not a single talent scout would look at me in my more voluptuous state. So, I became a spammer. And it is through my short stint as an internet advertiser that I learned about the world wide web. I have long since stopped spamming, I've shed those unsightly pounds and now I'm ready for new roles. If there is anyone out there looking for a fabulous girl dog with an acting resume a mile long...let me know.
Hell-ee-o! Hell-ee-o, my fans! I know you've been asking for some more coverage on me and I've finally gotten around to answering that call. I've been so busy with lots of work, it's taken some time for me to set paw to keyboard. For those of you not familiar with me (whom you may be, I do not know!), I'm Nora--star of stage and screen! I'm an actress and dancer. I belong to the Golden Age of Entertainment but I still like to keep up my craft by appearing on the television, in films or occasionally local stage productions. Here's a still of me as a Busby Berkeley Girl.
Oh! Those were the days! Breakfast with the Girls, lunch at the studio canteen, cocktails at eight, dinners that lasted well into the night...! And when I worked abroad in Britain, they had Elevenses and tea time too! I've tried to tell the Lady around here that it is SO civilized to have these extra meals but alas, she only approves of breakfast and supper. Check back soon and I'll have more stories to tell you of the life of a STAR!
