Didn't you wash them cold? Otherwise, they shrink.
Dry cleaned...always dry cleaned. No shrinkage there just expansion, elsewhere. But hope springs eternal. 😉

She was my favorite Castaway 😢
The show was ditzy, we all knew that at the time, but it did have some high-powered acting talent on board: Alan Hale and Jim Backus were big names on the silver screen.

Sir Ian Holm (actor)
Dame Diana Rigg (actress)
Terry Jones (film director, Python)
Olivia de Havilland (actress)
Max von Sydow (actor)
Kirk Douglas (actor)

Little Richard (seminal rock and roller)
Peter Green (guitarist)
Kenny Rogers (singer song writer)
John Prine (singer song writer)

May they all rest in peace.

Can you elucidate? I can't find the name, and you don't think about Jerrold Marsden who dies about 10 years ago?

Thank you, I found that guy, so I have to admit I never had heard of him before...
Edit: found the song "you'll never walk alone" which I knew to be the Liverpool hymn, but didn't know until now.

Born in Toxteth. A local lad who found success around the time of the Beetles. He was also famous for the song 'Ferry Across The Mersey'. One of the city's favourite sons.

'You'll never walk alone' was a 'cover' , originally in the musical 'Carousel' from the 50s ,I think.

Gerry and the Pacemakers had first 3 released singles go to #1, a feat not equalled until FGTH in the mid 80s

I was watching the early morning news and they just showed Gerry and the Pacemakers, appeared to be in black and white. He looked very young in it.
