R.I.P. to Jan (not in the pan) Shepard. She will be missed. On an unrelated note, those are some cute chicks!
I knew Jan very well. Her son Brandon and I met at a basketball camp at UCSB in 1972, and became good friends. I used to spend the weekend at their house in North Hollywood. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever known. And she told me once that when she was filming the movies with Elvis, he was constantly asking her out, but she kept reminding him that she was married.
