Awesome! There are 4 I haven't seen. My mom was a movie buff, so we saw some of the best movies made, especially musicals. I was happy to see Calamity Jane, and when I saw A Summer Place listed I immediately began to sing the theme song.

easier to be a teenager - when it becomes easier you are older and in age-reversal

I am pleased to report that I have overcome my "Gidget" inferiority complex. Sad to say it took a while. How many other tall, skinny brunettes compared themselves unfavorably to tiny, blonde Sandra Dee when they were teenagers? Surely it's easier to be a female teenager now than it was in the 50's, or is it?
