...Easy Rider?

Yes, the singer of 'Mickey' was hanging out with Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper 13 years before her mega-hit.

She's Mary in this clip. The other woman is Karen Black.

Whoop de doo Basil. What does it all mean?

Oh Bucky, what a pity you don't understand.
You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand.

[–] captainbucky (15252) 7 years ago

Oh Fonda.... I thought you said something else.. Now i get it.
Thank you for being a friend, travel down the road and back again.

She's a lot older than I thought. I always assumed she was real young when she sang 'Mickey.' Wow! Apparently not.

Same here. She started her craft very young.

She's like 80 years old and still dances. A force to be reckoned with.

Toni looked great in "Easy Rider, but she was even more attractive in "Village of the Giants" from 1965. She was jaw-dropping in the pool party sequence but, unfortunately, I can't find a snippet of it. Here's a lesser scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb8kYPasoys

I never realised she was almost 40 when she had that big hit with Mickey!

She sure didn't look it in the video.

[–] NotoriousRio (12927) 2 years ago

Before reading this I had always assumed she was in her twenties.

I remember that song/video coming out. I thought she was hot as hell. I certainly never realised she was pushing 40 at the time. Fantastic.

Yeah, I know. I saw "Easy Rider". Pretty much everybody did.
