3 October 2007- another female Sabrina - not ours, but cute nevertheless - got in touch to say how she was "enchanted by [our Sabby's] images and history so far" and is "Just a young woman interested in your website and sabrinastuff altogether." Welcome, SabrinaC!

6 September - thanks again to Richard Kober we have a great still of Sabrina from Rambottom Rides Again. Thanks, Richard!

21 August 2007- big (and expensive) news. I have found a treasure trove of previously-unpublished Sabrina photos from the 1960s found at http://www.photosnthingsuneed.com/sabrinia.html. At $US 500 for 46 photos, it was a big decision. Please consider becoming a BOOBS subscriber to help fund my stupid obsession with this lovely woman!

Oh - and I've also bought a new magazine on eBay for a relatively modest sum ($US11).

Alas, I have emailed and written to Sabrina a few times but she has not replied for quite a long time. I fear there will be no new unique Sabrinastuff from her historical collection. Sigh. This might be the last gasp for the Sabrina site.

13 August - thanks to Richard K we have our first images ever of Sabrina in her first movie, Stock Car.

1 August 2007- a great contribution from Peter of Stockport - a classmate of Sabrina in 1945. A class photo!

28 Jan 07 - NEW CONTACT WITH SABRINA!  A 2.5 hour phone conversation in which many old things were discovered, any new plans are laid.

28 Jan 07 - MAJOR behind-the-scenes site reorganisation (moving all thumbnails to a separate directory).  There MAY be broken links.  Please let me know of them (please be specific: tell me what page has the broken link and what it was linking to!)

12 Jan 07 - a new Sabrina magazine cover!

10 Jan 07 - Woohoo!  A Chrissie card from Sabrina!  It's a relief that at least she's still up and kicking enough to write a card. I was getting worried after so long without contact or replies to letters and emails.

9 Jan 07 - discovered some pix had been destroyed during FTP.  Found the originals, remade them and uploaded them afresh.

5 Jan 07 - In a retro spirit, I have removed the frameset from the site.  Frames are so 2006, dahhhling.

31 Dec 06 - Happy SabrinaYear!  Photo pages have been re-organised.  Still no word from Sabrina.  Sigh.  I fear the site is heading for retirement.

2006

27 August - The transcription of the 2003 interview is now complete!  I have taken advantage of the sluggish Sabrinastuff climate to start reorganising the picture pages into some sort of thematic order. There will be some loose ends (repeated pix, stub pages) until work is complete. Please let me know of bad links.

20 August - started transcribing the 2003 interview.  Typing it up gave me time to consider things more carefully.  An Interesting experience!

6 August - a nice find by Paul W - from a Daily Sketch Northern Edition in 1956.  A really clever find!  Thanks, Paul.

6 August - replaced the old Miss Great Britain newsreel clip with a higher quality one found by Lord Reg.  Thanks, Reg!

19 March - started replacing lower quality scans with better ones taken from Sir H's treasury.

18 March -  Sabrinia [sic] Quick, April 1960.  Yes, 'Sabrinia'. To be fair, they are American. A valuable SIR H contribution.

22 January 2005 - Sabrina's friend Steve has been in touch by email. He reports that:

• Sabrina has been quite ill recently and spent quite some time in hospital with an ongoing back problem and nasty infection.
• He has also promised to send "the ultimate photo of Sabrina."
• He is planning on doing some kind of tribute exibition to Sabby with regards to when she came to Wolverhampton England in the 50s. There is a street called Sabrina Drive which Sabby apparently opened by cutting a ribbon stretching over the street. It also related to Sabrina a legendary mermaid which supposedly dwelled in the nearby river Severn. My mom said she remembers Sabby on the news cutting the ribbon but Sabby says she can't remember so if you have any news please let me know. Does anyone out there have information on this?
• BIG NEWS WILL BE COMING about the Mail on Sunday newspaper articles on Sabrina in 2002. Stay tuned! (see 16 Jan 2005)
