More great articles RG!!!
Doc your going to be busy for awhile installing all of these excellent finds in the Article Section.
I could see Eve being paid $1,000/day for use of the estate...very decent money for back in the 80's.....plus they would've maintained the grounds for her to during shooting. Interesting to finally know who the real Kenji was on MPI......landscaper, Clarence Maki.
I would love to see an unofficial Magnum t-shirt and hat that the truck drivers were peddling behind their rigs!!!
I'm sure T.S. would've been really stressed during that last shoot trying to keep a lid on the story while juggling all of his other duties on the show, but he pulled it off.
Thanks again RG for taking the time!

Hi Sam!
Great to hear from you!
Many thanks for the background on "Mac".
It appears his true passion was surfing and photography over pruning the palms.....I can't blame him.
Thanks again,
K

It occurs to me as I am sure it has to most of our MPI brethren while perusing these articles. There has never ever been any hint down through the decades of any impropriety on the part of Tom Selleck. He is obviously a man of real character honour, integrity, humility, loyalty, self parody, etc. All of these characteristics were so evident and ever present in his portrayal of Magnum.

Funny you should mention that Terry!

Things we already knew about TS...but always great to see it in print and from a source that reaches/reached people that might've guessed otherwise.

Keep em' comin' RG!

Don't burn yourself out...you sure know what questions to ask that puter' of yourn!


Loving the history lesson of the show and the people that made it great.

Me too, these articles are such fun. I thought I'd start looking for some early articles about MPI so here's a good one from 1979.

Star-Bulletin, September 7, 1986 (I'll also post this in the Kristen Carreira thread)...

[Rembrandt's Girl]

I just posted two articles, one on Kristen Carreira and another on Bellisario, but because I posted the Bellisario article first, it landed on page 2 of this thread...just a heads up...didn't want anyone to jump to the Carreira article & miss Bellisario.
