National Velvet

I used to love this show. I had a bad crush on Carole Wells. I remember that beautiful smile at the beginning of the show. Those were really simple days. Neither Lori nor Carole have done much since the 70's, I wonder what ever happened to them. I have searched for the classic DVD's hoping one day to find a couple of shows, but to no avail.

The shows of the era were much simpler than today, the good vs. bad lines were clearly delineated and good always won. Velvet won every race even under insurmountable odds where she looked as if she was about to lose. Lori Martin was the Elizabeth Taylor of the era, a raven-haired-blue-eyed beauty. Other Liz Taylor's were Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman) an Delta Burke.
