NEW
PICS!!!
"Leonard
Gregory
(Steve) and Adrian Wright (Mike) are old friends to
viewers of the
earlier
'Freewheelers' series. In the present show,
they have a new
girl companion, Jill, played by Caroline Ellis.
Brown-haired,
brown-eyed
Caroline began her professional career
at the age of 12
in the London stage production of that great
musical 'The Sound
of Music.' She has only recently returned from
America where she
has been filming in 'The Bugaloos,' a new series
made by the team
which produced the 'H.R. Pufnstuf' series with Jack
Wild. It's
a good thing that Caroline is an outdoor girl who numbers
riding among her
favorite activities: at one point she is called upon
to ride in a
steeplechase
while disguised as a professional jockey!"
