"I cook like Betty Crocker and I look like Donna Reed"

Convoluted connections, #274 in a series...

I was fascinated to note a link between two of today's celebrity birthdays. For born on this day were both that surprisingly sexless hunk who starred in A Summer Place Troy Donahue (1936-2001)*, and the doyenne of Hollywood's ideal "American housewives", the actress Donna Reed (1921-1986).

The connection? Both were name-checked in songs of which I am particularly fond... And here are those very songs, from Grease and Little Shop Of Horrors, respectively. Enjoy!

Grease - Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee

Little Shop of Horrors - Somewhere that's Green

[* Mr Donahue, of course, also appeared in Grease as "Teen Angel"]
