July 4th Pool Party 1969
Anna's pool party started off in classic form again in 1969 though the usual participants were less in numbers this particular year. To the dismay of all, Linda Clay had returned to European films and would not be back for any pool parties. Donna Mehnger could not attend to for family reasons and daughter Alexa was not on speaking terms with Anna thus wasnt present either. Anna's on and off relationship with James Corey was once again off and Bob Hanlon was on site but didnt spend much time in the pool.
Anna started the festivities in classic form though the photographer could've went for some better clarity here...
Here's Anna galavanting around the pool, almost looks as if
she's being chased, hmm, no running around the pool I was always told.
This two images are historic and one of a kind, Vivian Arnell
and Anna with an underwater pose...
Now what would an Anna pool party be without Mary Strat?
Here's Mary soakin up the sun with Vicki Cottington BR>
Another
incredible and provacative appearance from the Cottingtons in 1969...
Here's Mary cozy in the pool once again with her long time interest Micheal Bonneker..
The lovely Pauline Nash loosened the mood a bit by late day as
she spends some time by the rose gardens Anna kept along the pool...
Beverly Schuyler again returns to the pool party in 69 with a new
companion this time around.
Here Beverly revamps her original underwater skills with this wonderful and candid photo.
A friend of Stella's the lovely Yvette Mimeaux...
Anita Eckard joins in the fun again in 69 looking as playful as ever..
Here's a fun photo from in the pool with Anna, Mary Strat, Bevi Schuyler and I think the guy is Ray Boster..
Stella geared up pretty well for this pool party and got pretty tipsy....
Stella can be so much fun when she's tipsy......
Despite an enjoyable 4th of July in 1969, the pool parties would not
continue again for awhile due to scheduling conflicts with Stella not to mention
continuing probs Anna was having with her son Micheal Vincent as well as her
relationship between Mr. Cory and Mr. Hanlon....
In 1971 Alexa returned to
the estate as did James Corey for the Independence holiday and yet again a
festive pool party came about....
