On Location
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailThis is the only photo I’ve come across showing the production of Times Square. The assistant director’s full name is is Alan Hopkins. In the center are, of course, Robin and Trini Alvarado. All the way to the right, we can see half of director Allan Moyle. This is the northwest corner of 42nd Street…

WJAD
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailThe originals of these first two images weren’t collected by me. They’re located on an old, apparently long-abandoned Angelfire site on which Mr. Charles E.

Where is She Now?
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail Well, in November 2011, she was relaxing at home. And where’s that? And what is she doing when she’s not relaxing? Welllll… unfortunately, now that I’m “official,” and not trying to uncover a mystery, I’m no longer at liberty to disclose everything I know. And a lot of what I don’t know, I’m…

8th Grade Graduation
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail In 1977, Robin graduated from St. Saviour elementary, and went on to Brooklyn Technical High School. I know what you’re thinking… you’re thinking, “Wait a minute! There’s something wrong with your math. If she was born in May 1964, shouldn’t she have left 8th grade in 1978?” Yes, except for one thing: when Robin…
