Hello guys! I just found this page and it was very interesting. I really enjoyed Carol Lynley and was saddened by her death. Thanks for putting this information together.
She was excellent in “Poseidon Adventure” ( my favorite movie ), and “The Cardinal” as well (highly recommended). “Bunny Lake is Missing” was better on second viewing (solid movie) and her TV movie “The Night Stalker” was lots of fun.
Thanks again for the page and site overall.
