Lola Falana turns 76 today

Isn't that Leslie Uggams?

Happy Birthday, Lola!

Her MS kept her down. But she's fine and sends her love, except to the OP.

That pic is 15 years old, R3. And she claims her MS was cured.

She' fine.

Ex-CUUUUUUSE ME, OP!

Joey Heatherton is the white Lola Falana!

Lola Falana was all her own, despite the great Lola Heatherton character of Catherine O’Hara.

She did a good stint performing on Italian shows back in the day.

Here she is dancing with gay Don Lurio for Testa Spalla, which has been imitated a million times over but never, ever matched.

And yeah, she has been out of the limelight and once credited her hardcore Catholic faith with remission from MS. It’s a brutal disease, and I figure whatever she’s got to get her through is what she needs, not for me to question.

Enjoy the number!

That was funny, R6.

I give this thread a 9. I think of her as a Jerry Lewis Telethon kind of star.

Who?

I lamented the disappearance of Testa Spalla at r7 from youtube a few years ago. I think whoever had rights to the Italian show wanted control of the clip.

But it deserves to be shared and loved with the whole fucking planet!

1, 2, 3!!!!

Happy Bitchday is more like it.

She's a rabid religious nut.

She hangs out with most enemies of the LGBT community.

Once again the DL adores people who go against the gay community publicly with one thread & will be attacking our own or our allies in the next one.

Unbelievable.

I'd send her 76 year old bigoted ass to Hell in a heartbeat for the return of a 46 year old nice guy Ryan White.

You know nothing about her beliefs, R13.

R14 Tell me what we're missing. I've seen her on TBN years ago & also on the 700 Club.

I double checked by googling her before I wrote my post & found nothing pro -gay since she made those appearances.

Do you think pro gay celebs like Judith Light would have shown up on any of those hate filled shows?

Don't keep us in suspense.
