A Real Sweetheart: Christine Nguyen!

by Armand Vaquer

A funny thing happened the other night.

I was about an hour and a half away from going off-duty in my "parachute" job as a security patrol officer when I stopped at the guard shack at one of the gated communities I patrol in Malibu.

Inside, the guard had on television the Poorman's Bikini Beach show. The show was about ten minutes away from ending and they played a teaser (just before a commercial break) of their hotline segment with a panel of three bikini-clad lovelies who would answer callers' questions. One of them was very familiar to me, but I wasn't sure as the teaser whisked by.

After the commercial break, segment came on and one of the panelists was Christine Nguyen! Hot damn! (Ahem.) It truly is a small world.

I told the guard of Christine and he was very impressed with her. He hadn't heard of her before, and he comes from a show-biz family (his uncle was comedian Billy Gilbert from the Hal Roach Laurel & Hardy comedies (see "The Music Box" or "County Hospital") and his mother acted in many Gene Autry westerns) He also has acted and is a card-carrying SAG member. I sent Christine a text message telling her that we just saw her on the show.

Minutes later (around midnight) she text her thanks. Tom, the guard I was with, speculated that she may have been up watching too.

The next day, I followed up by telling Christine the circumstances on how we happened to see her on the show. I won't post what she said in our exchanges (at one point she did say I made her "blush"), but Christine is one real sweet lady! (I knew this before, as she was the first to send me a condolence message the morning of my mother's passing.)

It is Christine's natural sweetness and humor that comes through in her acting and model work. One cannot avoid being drawn to her. That shouldn't be too difficult to understand: she's an Aquarius! Christine and I both were born on February 4.

Besides being a fan, it is an honor for me to also be a friend of Christine Nguyen. She's a real sweetheart!

Happy Birthday, Christine Nguyen!

Happy Birthday, Christine Nguyen!

by Armand Vaquer

Actress/model Christine Nguyen (The Mummy's Kiss: Second Dynasty) celebrates her birthday tomorrow.

By coincidence, I also will be celebrating my birthday, although I've a few years on Christine.

When she found out that my birthday falls on the same day as hers, she said, "OMGoodness! You're birthday is on February 4th, too?!?! So cool! You are the first person I have ever known with my birthday! We must remember to toast each other that day!"

I'm entirely not sure, but I think a relative of mine also has her birthday on February 4.



Christine is currently in a contest called The 1 Contest. She has received many votes since Ted Newsom (who did the poster above), Don Glut and I started campaigning for her, but she needs more to have a chance to win. So...to help make Christine's birthday a good one, go to the link below and vote for Christine.

To vote, go here: http://www.the1contest.com/. Voting ends March 15.

Happy Birthday, Christine! (From one Aquarius to another!)

Fred Olen Ray's Bikini Series DVD Box Art Unveiled

Fred Olen Ray's Bikini Series DVD Box Art Unveiled

DVD box artwork for three of Fred Olen Ray's new movies have been unveiled.

They are: Bikini Frankenstein, Bikini Jones and Twilight Vamps: Lust At First Bite, all with Christine Nguyen. Each have been covered previously on this blog.

Christine Nguyen Filming "Bikini Jones"

Christine Nguyen reports that she's now in the midst of filming Bikini Jones. She said, "Harrison Ford made it look so easy."

At least Ford didn't have to wear a bikini in his movie.

The movie is a humorous send-up of the Indiana Jones movies starring Harrison Ford. It involves a desperate hunt for an ancient artifact with gloomy temples, dinosaurs, double-crossing CIA agents and evil villains. And, lest we forget, an occasional undressed lady for variety.

Ted Newsom is also in the movie in a substantial role. He reports that most of his scenes are with Christine. He says that she makes it easy for him as she knows her lines.

Director Fred Olen Ray has been busy of late. He's making several movies over these past few months including Bikini Frankenstein, Bikini Jones, Lust At First Bite, Housewives From Another World and License To Bare All.

We previously reported on Bikini Frankenstein and Lust At First Bite.

It appears that the recession hasn't stopped Fred Olen Ray's movie output any!

Christine is also having a busy and productive year as she seems to be going from one project to another. She recently returned from Japan (her first trip there) and she recently was filmed for the upcoming Green Hornet movie. And, she also appears in a commercial for a Harrah's resort down south near San Diego.

Besides Bikini Frankenstein, director Fred Olen Ray directed two other flicks in eight (8) days: Lust At First Bite and Girl From Bikini/Right To Bare All. Ted Newsom had substantial character roles in all three. The three are produced by Dan Golden.

Here are some exclusive photos from Lust At First Bite*:

We've obtained some exclusive "behind-the-scenes" shots from the set of the new Fred Olen Ray flick, Bikini Frankenstein, which is now in production. Ray (as director) is filming five features simultaneously. They are being produced by Dan Golden.

Above, the creation of Eve.

Above, Ron Ford (as "Dr. Waldman") and Ted Newsom (yeah with an "m" on the end... He plays "Professor van Sloan"). Gee, where did they come up with those characters' names?

Above, Jayden Cole, as "Eve."

Some photos displayed a little too much of one actress's, uh, naw-tee bits. So, unfortunately, they couldn't be posted here.

Above, Dan Golden, who plays the head of the "Bikini Organization" and who is also the producer of the movie, takes a reading break.

Frankenstein With Christine Nguyen

by Armand Vaquer

Actress/model Christine Nguyen announced that she's starting a new movie today. It's called Bikini Frankenstein.

I don't know the details (producer, director, screenwriter, etc.) yet.

I'm not too sure that I'd want to see the Monster in a bikini. If it's something Christine is involved in, I'm sure we won't be subjected to something of that nature.

I'll try to get more details on the flick.

UPDATE: I inquired if Don Glut is involved and he indicated that he isn't. He strongly recommends Christine...

"...to other directors and producers. She was just a delight to work with. And if I ever raise the money for my female werewolf movie, she'll almost certainly be a major part of it.

Christine recently did a topless cavegirl photo session for me, which will appear on a "bonus feature" (along with other models/actresses) on our upcoming "5 Star" edition of DINOSAUR VALLEY GIRLS (hours of new stuff), out in a month or so. But those fully topless shots will only appear on the DVD, nowhere else."

Here's one of them (taken in Don's backyard*):

Incidentally, Don also reports:

One last thing about Christine, we've just reissued THE MUMMY'S KISS: 2ND DYNASTY in a brand new remastered "5 Star Edition." I've already posted this image on other threads, but since this one is completely devoted to Christine, here it is again (available from Amazon and directly from us at http://www.FrontlineFilms.com):

UPDATE (8/5/09): Fred Olen Ray is directing this and at least 4 other new bikini movies between now and next year. Christine Nguyen is in 2, but in possibly smaller supporting roles. More info to follow as it comes in.

*I've been to Don's home and his backyard, that's how I know.
