ANDREA TRUE

I liked watching Andrea True.



I also loved hearing her sing. Most folks are only familiar with her "disco" tunes.

They don't know, that she also performed some punk / new wave songs. I really liked WAR MACHINE.

I don't think WAR MACHINE had a legit release in the United States.

I'm almost certain, she co-starred with Harry Reems in more than a few movies ( such as DIFFERENT STROKES AKA OVER SEXPOSURE ).

Just for the record, Harry Reems was the only X-rated star that could make me laugh. He was actually funny!

She supposedly appeared as an extra, in 40 CARATS and THE WAY WE WERE.

I felt a genuine sadness, when I heard about Ms. True's passing. I hope she's at peace.....




QUOTES below are from the NEW YORK TIMES ( By Paul Vitello - November 24, 2011 )

"Andrea True, Singer of Disco Hit, Dies at 68"

"Andrea Truden arrived in New York from Nashville in 1968 with a yearning for stardom and no fixed idea about how to achieve it. She landed bit parts in a slew of movies, including “The Way We Were.” She sang in nightclubs, wrote music for television commercials and, for a while, found steady work as an actress in the city’s burgeoning pornographic film industry"

"Her death was confirmed by a longtime friend, Louise Marsello, who said the cause was heart failure. No immediate family members survive"

"Ms. Marsello, who met Ms. True in the early 1970s, said of her: “She was a free spirit, but driven, too. She never stopped wanting to make it”

"The song produced royalties for Ms. True throughout her life, most recently as the soundtrack for a TV commercial for Honey Bunches of Oats cereal"
