SIDELIGHTS:
Thomas Lisanti told CA: "The unsung actresses and actors of the 1960s have always held a fascination for me. Being a fan of the B-movies from that period (beach, Elvis, biker, and hippie films), I thought interviewing the actresses and actors who worked in them and found only fleeting fame would have interesting stories to share. It seems the public and the critics agrees."
