Blah.

So that 1960 issue of Mermaid magazine I mentioned a few posts ago? Major bust. She's in there. It's a series of photos from a stage production of "Pajama Tops" she was in in the early '60s, but they're not good shots. In most, she has her back to the camera. Kind of lame. :( Oh, well. I have two really fantabulous cheesecake pictures on the way. Yum! We're talking serious hotness! They should arrive this next week, so stay tuned. I'll try to post them in an actual timely manner! :P

A few screen shots from my new copy of Sleepers West from the Mike Shayne boxed set. The picure quality is fantastic, and Mary Beth looks smokin' as Helen Carlson. Definately worth s Netflix rental (or purchase the whole boxed set from Amazon). Special thanks to my boyfriend Kevin for grabbing these shots!

Exciting DVD news!



VCI Entertainment will be releasing Holiday Rhythm on DVD in August 2007! Mary Beth has a starring role in this film, so this is great to hear! 2007 is shaping up to be a good year for Mary Beth Hughes releases. Sleepers West and Blue, White and Perfect were released in March by Fox as part of the Mike Shayne boxed set, Holiday Rhythm is coming out in August and Riders in the Sky is coming out in November. And there could always be other new releases to come.

I know updates have been sparse lately. I'm hopefully going to scan some new pics today, and I'll try to post some as soon as possible. I have two childhood pics of Mary Beth, as well as some promotional photos from her film career and newspaper clippings.

Quick little update . . .

According to GeneAutry.com, Riders in the Sky is coming out on DVD on Nov. 6, 2007. Mary Beth Hughes has a small role in this movie as a saloon girl named Cleo. I haven't seen this movie, so I don't know how much screen time she has, but I'm sure it will at least be worth a Netflix rental.

I know updates have been nonexistent lately. I have stuff coming, such as screenshots from Four Sons and scans from a 1960 issue of Mermaid. So sit tight! I haven't forgotten about this blog!

Mary Beth Hughes photo orgy!!!

Here are some MBH pics from my collection for your Saturday afternoon eye candy pleasure!


A lovely swimsuit pic of Miss Hughes. Not sure of the date. I'd guess 1941 or 1942.


This is cropped from a "Fox Players" group photo. Probably from 1942 or 1943.


A screen shot from Men On Her Mind, 1944.


This was cropped from a press shot for Sleepers West, 1941. The half-cropped face to the left is Lloyd Nolan as Detective Mike Shayne.

Hope you all enjoy! :D For more pics and stuff, be sure to check out the Archives to the right!

I love this pic of Mary Beth. I think it dates from around 1949. She has a more mature look about herself than in earlier pics—I guess that happens after you have a kid and go through a divorce. But she has a very calm look about herself. I think she looks great.

In the '50s, MBH's look changed quite a bit. Her hair got much, much shorter and was usually styled very close to her head. It's not my favorite look for her—she has the kind of face that needs big hair. She also got thinner during the '50s, which I thought was sad. I'm sure she was just doing what was required by producers and directors.

Anyhoo, enjoy the pic and have a very Mary weekend! :D

We have a new URL: http://misshughes.net ! The old one still works. I just thought I'd get something a little shorter and catchier than marybethhughes.blogspot.com.

Yay!
