Unfortunately, we were unable to obtain any further autographs before her passing and simply share them with you now. Tall, statuesque, well-endowed brunette Francine York carved out a nice career for herself in cult movies, feature films, and television sitcoms in the 1960s and 1970s. She worked as a model in her late teens and early 20s before one of her modeling supervisors decided she would be good in Hollywood. She guest starred on some of the most popular TV shows of the era.Francine was born in a small mining town in northern Minnesota called Aurora to her parents Frank and Sophie Yerich. She won all the declamation contests she entered in high school and also starred in all the class plays. Her drama coach wrote in her yearbook, "To Francine, I know someday you will be a success in Hollywood because you have the talent." Well, Hollywood was still a long way away for 17-year-old Francine. But then, an opportunity came up in a beauty contest which was part of the Miss America Pageant. Francine entered locally, became "Miss Eveleth", and Runner-up in Miss Minnesota. her first modeling jobs started locally after that.Moving to Minneapolis, she got a job modeling sweaters for Jane Richards Sportswear and began traveling all over the U.S., ending up in San Francisco. Taking a modeling course at the "House of Charm" School and Agency, started her off on a fabulous modeling career for all the department store ads (Macy's, Magnins, ect.) . But a new opportunity arose...the Miss San Francisco Pageant, which she entered and was Runner-up, only to take over the title because the winner got ill. The Maid of California Beauty Contest followed, which she was also Runner-up. By this time, Hollywood beckoned. She got a job as a showgirl at "Bimbo's" which was frowned upon by the modeling agency, but turned out to be the right choice for Francine as she met the lead singer star of the show, Mary Meade French, and she brought Francine to Hollywood and to her first agent.A series of commercials followed: Chrysler, Betty Crocker, Valley Federal Bank, Chevrolet, and many more. She soon stared in her first feature called "Secret File Hollywood" which was premiered in her home town of Aurora for all the town to see. To this day, she says this was the biggest thrill of her life seeing the whole town, the press, her parents, grandparents, and all her friends, plus the high school band turned out at the airport to greet her. This was just the beginning though, as soon she was discovered by Jerry Lewis and six films followed, starting with "It's Only Money"," The Nutty Professor", "Family Jewels". "The Patsy", "Disorderly Orderly", and her last with him in 1982 where she plays a noble woman with a French accent from the 15th century called "Cracking Up".

Her makeup artist was Hal King who was Lucille Ball's makeup man all during the "Lucy" series. Francine's vast interest in nutrition put her on the covers of such national magazines as Let's Live, Fitness Plus, and others. Her appearances on fashion pages of the STAR, and National Enquirer have been numerous, and Mr. Blackwell's A-1 Dress List. She is also a gourmet cook and has hosted dinners for sometimes as many as 80-100 with such stars as Clint Eastwood, Peter Ustinov, Glenn Ford, Rex Harrison, and her many more. Her recipes have also appeared in both Hollywood movie magazines and health magazines.Some of Francine's other credits are "Curse of the Swamp Creature" (now a cult film), "Tickle Me" with Elvis Presley, "Cannon for Corboda" (shot in Spain with George Peppard), George Stevens' "The Greatest Story Ever Told," "Sergeant Was A Lady for Universal, etc. She starred with Bob Hope and Eva Marie Saint in "School for Bachelors".

Located in Walla Walla, Washington!Time Machine Collectibles primary business is autograph photo sales and movie posters, other amazing collectibles! What makes us unique is that we work with the actors directly to create an individual OFFICIAL WEBSITE as a tribute to their career. The primary focus is on showing the overall career of the artist including a biography, filmography, upcoming appearances, gallery and autographed photos for sale, featuring many roles from their career. These websites are in essence, a partnership between our firm and the client. The client provides their involvement and participation throughout the creation of their site.With sales increasing each month, the internet proves to be the new frontier for worldwide presentation and sales of products. We ship photos to United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Canada, Germany, Australia, Ireland, Denmark, Korea, and the Netherlands, to name just a few, as well as throughout the United States. We offer retail prices to fans for single photo purchases and dealer prices as well for quantity purchases of 12 or more photos. Many hours and hard work go into creating each website. It's always a challenge especially for artists like James Gregory and Jeff Corey, who have films dating as far back as the 1940's.It's a fun project just trying to figure out where to start when they have hundreds of movie and TV roles to their credit. Often there are so many roles that even they can't recall them all. Sometimes a client will say "It was just a days work", yet they may be referring to one of their most memorable roles. We have several clients that should write books as Walter Koenig has, relating the different experiences they've had in Hollywood. Some of the stories they have shared with us are priceless.We now have over 40 websites and are looking forward to many more. Prior to starting the Time Machine business, Terry Martin owned and worked in a family business designing tournament archery equipment for 30 years, (Martin Archery; sold 2013)), acquiring over 15 patents during that time. One of Martin Archery bows was used to light the 1992 Olympic torch for the Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. You will find a number of the Martin Archery bows within our store.We decided to start the website out of a desire for a new challenge, and it has grown much faster than we expected. It takes a substantial investment but has been a good business with a lot of great people to work with. The business was created in 1997, however I've been collecting since 1957. We now have an inventory of over 20,000 items, and offer both wholesale and retail purchasing. About Walla Walla Guitar CompanyTerry Martin, after having sold Martin Archery began creating another of his true passions... Incredibly unique and custom made electric guitars.
