Title: Dennis’s Women Post by: feelintheflows on August 31, 2018, 12:11:07 PM Besides Christine McVie was Dennis with any other well known women?
Title: Re: Dennis’s Women Post by: bonnevillemariner on August 31, 2018, 01:09:09 PM Does Mike's daughter count?

Nah, because Mike never recognized her as his (Mike's) daughter, and Mike is never wrong. Title: Re: Dennis’s Women Post by: mtaber on August 31, 2018, 05:30:18 PM "Dennis' Women" could be a pretty thick book...

Title: Re: Dennis’s Women Post by: Needleinthehay on September 02, 2018, 05:46:44 PM One of Mike's wives....altho i guess outside of BB world she wouldnt be well known.
I wonder how many women Dennis slept with? I do wonder if its like 100 or if its more like 2,000 or something like Wilt Chamberlin numbers? Title: Re: Dennis’s Women Post by: mtaber on September 02, 2018, 06:52:55 PM Dennis was born in 1944. I'd guess he reached puberty around 1957. He then lived another 27 years. 27 years multiplied by 365 days = 9855 days.
I'd say around 9850 women (I figure he deserved 5 days off)... ::) Title: Re: Dennis’s Women Post by: Emdeeh on September 02, 2018, 08:35:33 PM Title: Re: Dennis’s Women Post by: Sound of Free on September 02, 2018, 11:14:57 PM There's a picture of the Beach Boys meeting Princess Margaret in 1971. She was substantially older than Dennis, not a great beauty and was married, but she had the reputation for being the "naughty" member of the royal family. I wonder if Dennis at least tried to bed a princess.

I wonder if Dennis at least tried to bed a princess. haha i didnt know they met her....i found the pic....he is looking at her with what could be considered a naughty look in his eye...but hard to tell from the pic....hahah. Apparently she met the beatles too, found pics of them together also. Rehashing what you already said about her age, marriage, etc... Shes about ~10 years older than the BB, born in 1930....she would've been about 41 here, BB's wouldve been in early 30's here....Also she looked decent for her age, tho, in my opinion. I would not be at all surprised if Dennis tried to work some of his old Drummer magic....although she was married from from 1960-1978, so who knows. Could've been a sham marriage since they were in the royal family and divorce is super, super frowned upon, especially back then. Anyways, no idea why I'm spending so much time writing about/researching this. Hopefully someone finds it interesting.

He had much more of an appetite for the young ones. If it did happen, he probably got a bag of gold dust.

She would've been 14 years older than Dennis. The photo is from 1969 or 1970, so he would've been 26 at the most.

Title: Re: Dennis’s Women Post by: Juice Brohnston on September 05, 2018, 12:44:12 PM What did membership in the 'Golden Penetrators' entail? With a group focus and set goals, these numbers could have been very large, and being Hollywood, it's possible some of the women have been well known.

Title: Re: Dennis’s Women Post by: Debbie KL on September 06, 2018, 12:51:08 PM I met Patti at Ed Roach's and Trisha Campo's (then Roach) home around '72 or so(?), and she was quite open about her relationship with Dennis. She repeated a really funny story about something Dennis said to her, but I haven't read her book, so don't know if I should repeat it. I believe her dad approved his burial at sea that was unusual for someone out of the military. As far as older women, that was fine with him, too. ;-) There are several of those stories, at least one of them being famous. I have no idea about Princess Margaret, but if so, they probably had fun. Dennis liked women and the favor was returned. Many of the temper explosions I heard from Grillo's office on Ivar in '69-'70, had to do with lawsuits and Dennis's exploits. He was very, very busy. I don't doubt MTaber's estimate of #'s, nor the 5 days' off ;-) - good one. Dennis was prolific in so many ways, but when he was in love with a particular woman, he was madly in love, that was fun to watch. He was one of a kind.

Then again, I think some of the women inspired his best music. I did also get to see Dennis at Christine McVie's. He was genuinely awed by her talents (she was a sculptor as well as a recording artist) and was proud to introduce her to brother Brian. Christine was amazing. I know a lot of people are a bit hostile to Karen. I didn't feel that way. She was highly complex, had a very difficult, abusive childhood and was really funny. Dennis described her (during a bad period) as "really entertaining." They both were. And they both "gave as good as they got". Later in her life she was an animal activist.

(other than the oft-told Dennis stories hanging out at Chez Jay's). Did the band members ever visit the 3rd street promenade or the pier, or any other places nearby?

The Promenade wasn't exactly the place to be during those times. It was handy due to the parking structures, but otherwise, not a cool place. Where Dennis used to eat in the early days when he was recording at Brother Studios was a French restaurant up Ocean Ave (I just found it online - jogged my memory) Belle-Vue. I hired the hostess from that restaurant as one of my receptionists - a lovely French-Canadian woman who was older than my mother, and she absolutely loved Dennis (of course). Her beautiful daughter, Chantal, was my age and a major success story as an agent in Hollywood. Her mother made me the best crepes ever. Living in that area at that time always made a person 6-or-less degrees from pretty much anyone. I forgot to mention Trisha Campo telling stories of Dennis giving his ETA at Brother Records (he was drivin g from Malibu) and everyone would think, "he can't possibly make it in 10 min./whatever." He always managed to make it when he said. He was the master of Pacific Coast Hwy! Another great one. A friend and I were opening fan mail at the Ivar offices (okay, I was working) she apparently contacted Dennis and gave him the phone # where we were staying. She answered the phone and came back and told me that she had set up a date with Dennis. When all the details were handled he asked her, "oh, BTW, which one are you?" Yeah, I'm thinking he wasn't that picky :lol Title: Re: Dennis’s Women Post by: CenturyDeprived on September 09, 2018, 04:29:57 PM I met Patti at Ed Roach's and Trisha Campo's (then Roach) home around '72 or so(?), and she was quite open about her relationship with Dennis.

He was genuinely awed by her talents (she was a sculptor as well as a recording artist) and was proud to introduce her to brother Brian. Christine was amazing. I know a lot of people are a bit hostile to Karen. I didn't feel that way. She was highly complex, had a very difficult, abusive childhood and was really funny. Dennis described her (during a bad period) as "really entertaining." They both were. And they both "gave as good as they got". Later in her life she was an animal activist. Not long ago, I was watching a DVD of the oft-forgotten '70s TV show, Harry-O (starring David Janssen)... anyway, in the pilot episode, I saw that Karen had an acting role, and I nearly did a spit-take. Made me wonder how many TV show/movie sets Denny may have visited with Karen around that time. I'm not certain how many sets he visited. Obviously, she was on the BB special with the SNL cast, and in "Almost Summer" - Sean Penn's break out movie. I used to hear the stories about her visiting the studio in Santa Monica and those were not dull events. I happened to be driving past one day doing an errand for work (seriously) when she jumped out of her sea foam green Mercedes, blonde hair flying, and she was hard to miss - the perfect look at that time. Chris Kable or Ed Roach would know a lot more. \ I love hearing these little stories, thanks Debbie. Do you have any other BBs-related memories involving Santa Monica where the studio was? (other than the oft-told Dennis stories hanging out at Chez Jay's). Did the band members ever visit the 3rd street promenade or the pier, or any other places nearby? I'd tend to think that being there so much, they'd probably have some favorite Santa Monica haunts, or at least order food from some local joints... The Promenade wasn't exactly the place to be during those times. It was handy due to the parking structures, but otherwise, not a cool place. Where Dennis used to eat in the early days when he was recording at Brother Studios was a French restaurant up Ocean Ave (I just found it online - jogged my memory) Belle-Vue. I hired the hostess from that restaurant as one of my receptionists - a lovely French-Canadian woman who was older than my mother, and she absolutely loved Dennis (of course). Her beautiful daughter, Chantal, was my age and a major success story as an agent in Hollywood. Her mother made me the best crepes ever. Living in that area at that time always made a person 6-or-less degrees from pretty much anyone. I forgot to mention Trisha Campo telling stories of Dennis giving his ETA at Brother Records (he was drivin g from Malibu) and everyone would think, "he can't possibly make it in 10 min./whatever." He always managed to make it when he said. He was the master of Pacific Coast Hwy! Another great one. A friend and I were opening fan mail at the Ivar offices (okay, I was working) she apparently contacted Dennis and gave him the phone # where we were staying. She answered the phone and came back and told me that she had set up a date with Dennis. When all the details were handled he asked her, "oh, BTW, which one are you?" Yeah, I'm thinking he wasn't that picky :lol Love that story, thanks Debbie. The exterior location of where the Belle-Vue restaurant was is also a filming location from the film National Lampoon's Vacation (near the end of the movie where the Family Truckster wagon drives by it), next time you see the film, look for it: (http://i65.tinypic.com/6dtts0.jpg) PS - I just pictured a BBs version of that film, with Murry as the Clark Griswold character, and Brian, Denny, and Carl sitting in the back seat causing mayhem :lol For yet another walk down memory lane of that intersection where Denny frequented the restaurant, check this out: http://www.perrymasontvseries.com/wiki/index.php/Extras/Show224 Memory Lane, it is. I never ate at Belle-Vue, but Dennis obviously loved it, just a few blocks from Brother Studios. I absolutely loved Chez Jay - funky with great food. I think that became Denny's late-night haunt (maybe literally?). I think people love envisioning him there. Who knows? I understand, people also "saw' him on Pacific Coast Highway. Can't say I had that experience, but I don't deny the experiences of others.

She repeated a really funny story about something Dennis said to her, but I haven't read her book, so don't know if I should repeat it. I believe her dad approved his burial at sea that was unusual for someone out of the military. As far as older women, that was fine with him, too. ;-) There are several of those stories, at least one of them being famous. I have no idea about Princess Margaret, but if so, they probably had fun. Dennis liked women and the favor was returned. Many of the temper explosions I heard from Grillo's office on Ivar in '69-'70, had to do with lawsuits and Dennis's exploits. He was very, very busy. I don't doubt MTaber's estimate of #'s, nor the 5 days' off ;-) - good one. Dennis was prolific in so many ways, but when he was in love with a particular woman, he was madly in love, that was fun to watch. He was one of a kind. Thanks for the recollections, Debbie.

Especially since the surfer dude, Spicoli, was such a comical stereotype of the surf image in Southern Cali. Wonder if Denny would've gotten a laugh out of that. I know Ed Roach said Denny saw E.T. in the theater in the same year. Brian might have enjoyed Fast Times for its inclusion of a Phil Spector Christmas song. One thing that's always struck me as chillingly odd is that Lana Clarkson, who Phil Spector shot and killed, has a small role (as Mr. Sanka's gorgeous wife) in the same film that has a Phil Spector song on the soundtrack.
