Another year has passed, girls, and now Shelley Plimpton is 77! All of us on here wish here the best of health and good happenings for the forthcoming year.
For those new on here, Shelley is the mother of the extremely talented actress, Martha Plimpton. But Shelley has her own niche in musical theater history. She originated the role of Crissy in "HAIR" and introduced what is my favorite song in the show, "Frank Mills."
Ever since hearing her sing this song, I have been such a fan. And in the 50 plus years since "HAIR" was first done, only Allison Case in the 2009 revival, came near Shelley's rendition.
But it is Shelley who owns this song. Happy birthday, welcome to another year, and joy and happiness be with you this year and always.
Celebrate, Shelley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday Shelley!!
ReplyDeleteI sure wish we knew more about where she is and what she’s doing these days!!
Vicktoria,
ReplyDeleteI know she resides somewhere in Oregon. She was born in
Roseburg, Oregon, but moved to NYC with her mother when she was 14.
I am always on the lookout for motorcycle-themed content, and yet 'Frank Mills' -- he of the white crash helmet and Hells Angels colors -- somehow got past me! 🤷🏻♀️ Thank you for posting this.

ReplyDeleteIt has always been my favorite song from "HAIR," and Shelley's rendition is the best by far.
I hope you enjoyed it.
