“When the Beatles came in, I really concentrated on making a lot of mov...” — Frankie Avalon Quote

When the Beatles came in, I really concentrated on making a lot of movies. Those beach films that we did were a lot fun. They hit with an audience that related to what we were trying to do on the screen. That kept me going all through that Beatle period.

I definitely remember doing 'The Alamo' with John Wayne and Lawrence Harvey and Linda Cristal. We'd work six days a week, and then John Wayne would invite us down to a little place in Texas called Del Rio, and we would break bread and have some wine and tell stories.

I think today's music absolutely stinks. I really do mean that.

I learned not to blink in a close-up or move your head at all, because if you did, they wouldn't use it.

I love to go to the beach or stay at the pool with my girls - enjoy the sun and the water as much as I can, take rides with the bicycles, and spend time with my family.

I'm such an L.A. boy, I love hanging out by the beach and throwing some steaks on the grill.

If they made films in Palm Beach, actors and actresses would be much better dressed.

I'm actually most comfortable when I'm in a bikini, running around on the beach, like, no makeup. It's really free-feeling, whereas I'm always having to get dressed up and putting makeup on.

When I was learning to creep, my mother set me down on the beach to see what I thought of it. I crawled straight for the coming wave and was just through the wall of green when she caught my heels.
