“With love, Fernado Lamas”   Roulette Records.   (And remember it’s better to look good than to feel good!)   Known to many only from Billy Crystal’s SNL impression, Lamas was a film star in Buenos Aires before coming to Hollywood in 1950.   After playing the latin lover at MGM throughout the decade, he spent the next twenty years directing TV shows like Mannix and Falcon Crest (which starred his son Lorenzo Lamas from his marriage to actress Arlene Dahl).   He was also married to Esther Williams, his fourth wife.
