Christine Nguyen, A Real Sweetheart!

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!

Bikini Jones, Christine Nguyen's Latest

Above, Christine Nguyen as she appeared in "Lust At First Bite."

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.
