Billie (1965)

Billie (1965)




Synopsis

Billie is a screen version of Ronald Alexander's perennial stage favorite Time Out For Ginger. Patty Duke plays a tomboyish high schooler who excels in athletics but who continues to strike out socially. Jim Backus and Jane Greer perform yeoman service as Duke's parents, who wonder how long it's going to be before their daughter stops trying to be their son. Backus is particularly concerned because he's running for mayor on a platform of "male supremacy" (this is 1965, remember?). From time to time, Duke expresses her frustration in song: her big number finds her holding her gym shoes in one hand, a bottle of perfume in the other. Warren Berlinger also stars as Duke's long-suffering boyfriend.

  • Chris Evans and Billie Piper wed, Vegas style

    Pop star Billie Piper and British media personality Chris Evans married Sunday during a secret ceremony in Las Vegas, a Virgin Radio spokeswoman told Reuters. Virgin Radio, where Evans hosts a morning program, reports the couple wed four months in advance to evade the media spotlight. Evans, 35, has been out of the media glare after a short-lived romance with ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell. In March, he fell in love with Piper, 18, and the couple bought a Victorian home together in London, where they lived. "She has a very old head on a lovely body. The age difference doesn't bother us in the slightest," Evans was quoted as saying.
