Nice. Thanks for that. This is my first time seeing it in color. Do you know if that's the biggest/highest quality that picture exists on the internet?

What would Brian have done had a Yoko Ono came into his life then or now and future now? Not including Yewjeene LanD

[OneEar/OneEye]

Perhaps he'd have become Brian Ono, creating experimental soundscapes....

I wish someone as cool as Yoko would have come into Brian's life! Maybe VDP can take that role~

I'd hope the box set book will have a version of it.

Based on that picture at the top of the page I think Brian had the right idea: at any given time, go for all three!

Saw Diane in a clip for Carnie's last reality show. Until someone called her Dee-Dee, didn't recognise her.

I saw that too. She's really aged. Also saw her in the audience on the Dr. Oz show when Carnie was talking about losing weight. And Marilyn was in the audience when Wendy was being interviewed on TV - think I saw it on YouTube.

I think Diane looked the best during the Spring years. I dunno, she still has a nice rack here:

Spent a day with all three at Marilyn's Encino place in 1986 and they're all nice, nice people, but Ginger is just a complete hoot. And a doll.

Alas, my suggestion to that end was greeted with gales of laughter.

There There, Andrew

Just imagine Brian singing woman is the n***** of the world. To nurse Carolyn.

I now have Barbara, Diane, and Marilyn on my desktop so that i may see them each time i need to retrieve a file on the desktop.

I saw both of 'em at Target in Sherman Oaks a few Xmases back, both with Santa caps on, giggling away. They were adorable.

Saw them there individually later on--let's say Marilyn has aged more nicely than Diane. To me, she still looks pretty much the same. Except sadder.

I still bump into Marilyn once in a while--saw her once at the Arclight in SO (leaving a movie by herself), and also at Fashion Square.

And I swear I bumped into Carnie at Trader Joe's in Studio City.

Those gals are all over the place!

Is that John Saxon at the bottom?

The caption in Priore's book says it's Dick Maier. But yeah, had I not had his book I'd've agreed with ya

I find it interesting that neither of them (particularly Marilyn) has never tried to profit off Brian's story. Who knows-- maybe this will change. But so far, to my knowledge, Marilyn has never written a sensationalized book, sold her story to tabloids, or anything like that. And it's quite a story.  When she is interviewed, she's very classy and respectful of the BB's talent, particularly Brian's talent.

Marilyn looked amazing here

Is it just me, or did Marilyn get insanely hot for a few years in the 70's? Particularly around 1977.

That's because Marilyn rules. Why do you think Brian married her?

That's because it was true love and because Brian Wilson appears to be a special person a cut above the rest. You don't turn your back on people like Brian especially not if you were his wife & carer for years. Marilyn would leave her false life behind to join BW's side again.

Do any pics of the Rovells in bikinis or otherwise scantily clad exist? Its real easy to see where Wendy got her hotness from. Damn, my mind is in the gutter tonight...

Wendy = Diane
Carnie = Marilyn

Marilyn looked amazing here 

That's the photo I was thinking of when I said I liked her blonde period.
