SPILLING THE BEANS; A COFFEE BREAK WITH RONNIE SPECTOR- A Ronnette Who's Still Fabulous Java: MaryEllen Fillo
Ronnie Spector was considered the original bad girl of rock 'n' roll when she fronted the '60s girl group the Ronettes. With her beehive hairdo, dark eye makeup and mini skirts, she and the group turned out hits like "Be My Baby" and "Walking in the Rain," songs that made them stars. Spector, 65, who married and then divorced controversial, controlling and eccentric producer Phil Spector, has written a book, "Be My Baby: How I Survived Mascara, Miniskirts, and Madness, or My Life as a Fabulous Ronette." Meanwhile, she's continued her singing career and now is in the midst of fine-tuning a one-woman show called "Beyond the Beehive."The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will be the featured performer at Quassy Amusement Park Saturday at 7 p.m. as part of its 100th anniversary celebration, in cooperation with Waterbury's Palace Theater. The mother of two, who lives in the Danbury area with husband-manager Jonathan Greenfield, proved she can still be as sassy as she was 40 years ago while "spilling the beans" with Java. - article
