Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All!
Actually, I don't need a Cecil, but wanted to make the
distinction between the Beanie Doll and a Beanie baby which I'm
not looking for!
A wonderful friend of mine told me that her daughter had
purchased a Beanie doll back in the 70's for 50 cents at a
military garage sale.  The daughter had kept the doll for a very,
very long time and then, suddenly, the doll was gone.  Her mom
would really love to find another one to give to her daughter as
either a Christmas gift or birthday gift.
Beanie was fairly large (I'm thinking he was about the size of
Mrs. Beasley), wore teal colored cordoroys; he had a molded
plastic head, and his beanie was also molded plastic.  The
propeller turned.  The majority of the doll was stuffed; his
shoes were rubber.
Please let me know if you have one that you'd sell or if you know
where we can find one.
Thanks!

Maybe collectable, maybe not.  You're right, she was on Hogan's Heroes.
She's also credited with at least four movies and I'm virtually positive that
she was in one of the early Bond flicks.
Not imprisoned, David.  Here's some info.:
 Born: 29 January 1942, Paris, France
 Pop culture remembers Claudine Longet for just two achievements: her
 co-starring role in the 1968 Peter Sellers vehicle The Party, and her
 starring role in the 1976 murder of professional skier Spider Sabich. Her
 past marriage to singer Andy Williams doesn't quite register-- after all,
 Williams is barely remembered himself beyond the cozy nostalgia of the
 Branson set. Meanwhile, Longet's vocal albums are so utterly forgotten
 that they've never appeared on CD (except in Japan, where "cute pop" is
 practically the national pastime), have rarely been anthologized and
 haven't even been compiled into a decent best-of disc.
 On Thursday, March 21, 1976, Spider Sabich was shot and killed in the
 bathroom of his Aspen, Colo., home. His live-in girlfriend, singer-actress
 Claudine Longet, was convicted of criminally negligent homicide, a
 misdemeanor.

For some reason, I seem to think that she is/was imprisoned for
murdering her husband or something, but I'm not sure.  Like I said, I
have no idea if she is still around, or if her albums have become
collectable.  She does have quite a sweet voice, so it wouldn't surprise
me any if they have.
Any information or directions to a source of information about her and
her albums would be appreciated.  If you are interested in the albums,
make me an offer, and I'll certainly consider it.

Write your reply.

assistant: Thanks for you reply. I did finally find information on the Net about
her.  She was indeed convicted, but was only fined $25 or something like
that, and had to spend 30 days in jail, at a time of her choosing, so
she went on a two-month vacation to Mexico first.
Anyway, according to a similar source of information, her records are
selling for $35 to over $50, depending on condition.  I will sell these
if anyone is interested (there, managed to stay on topic) but more than
likely it will be better to hang on to them for a while longer yet.  It
looks like she is gaining some of her popularity back.

During the trial, Longet testified that the gun discharged accidentally as

reckless manslaughter, but the jury of seven men and five women convicted her
on a lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide, a crime that carried a
maximum sentence of two years in jail and a $5,000 fine.
District Judge George Lohr sentenced Longet to 30 days in the Pitkin County
Jail, which she served three months later, following a Mexican vacation.
