That's Funny. She Doesn't Look Latina: Parte XIX

Julie Ann Brown (1954 - ). Actress and singer of Irish/Mexican descent, best known for her role in the 1988 comedy Earth Girls Are Easy.

Movie Song of the Week: “'Cause I'm a Blonde”

It's summertime and it's the time for beach songs and novelty tunes.
