There are certain movies that Debbie and I have not just a shared love of, but the obsession with. Our definition of that condition is that whenever we come across a certain movie-no matter where the story is-we have to sit and watch.

Movies in this category include: "The Godfather" (I and II), "Urban Cowboy," "Coalminer's Daughter," and the classic 1972 disaster-at-sea movie, "The Poseidon Adventure."

Carol Lynley, the American actress best known for her role of "Nonnie" in that film has passed away from a heart attack at her home in California.

Besides "TPA," Lynley starred in films such as "Return to Peyton Place," "Bunny Lake is Missing," "The Pleasure Seekers," and "The Cardinal."

Lynley was married publicist Michael Selsman when she was 18. The four-year relationship lasted for four years and produced a daughter, Jill.

Lynley was 77.
