[ listen ]

Born in Philadelphia in 1956, 1958, 1959, or 1960, Audrey Landers came to the attention of audiences everywhere when she began playing Afton Cooper on the popular late-night television drama "Dallas" in 1981. Audrey's 1984 "Manuel Goodbye" single (not to be confused with the theme song for this 1977 French softcore erotica movie of similar title) was one the biggest hits of her musical career. According to Wikipedia, Audrey and her mother, Ruth Landers, recently created a fashion line called the Landers STAR Collection. Speaking of fashion, I'm launching efforts in my local Seattle neighborhood to revive the popularity of big '80s hair, but for men. Plans are set for the trend to go national by summer of 2013, then on to Europe. If you think you can help, please send me an email.
