Celebrating a July 24th birthday this week was Loni von Friedl, who played EUROSEC operative Lise Hartman in the 1969 feature film Doppelgänger/Journey to the Far Side of the Sun, while July 26th was also the anniversary of the birth dates of two Anderson actors who are sadly no longer with us; Space: 1999 regular Clifton Jones (born 1937) and the voice of Twizzle (and UFO guest actor) Nancy Nevinson (born 1918).
