		In June, Starr will be 57 years old, but thanks to the disparity of cartoon years vs. human years, she looks little older than she did when she tumbled full-grown from Messick's imagination.
		In this atmosphere of patriotism and sisterhood, the strip flourished (after all, Brenda Starr did her part for the war effort) and compounded the early success it achieved in the 18 months before Pearl Harbor.
		Brenda Starr continues to be drawn by other artists for the Chicago Tribune-New York News syndicate--an endeavor Messick does not begrudge, though she has no compunction about voicing her criticism.

	Comics Page: Brenda Starr
		In 1976 Brenda married her elusive lover—and before long Basil was spending too much of his time hanging around the house, washing dishes and cooking dinner.
		Consequently, Sutter had her Brenda Starr storyline take some dramatic turns—as when Basil's plane, which also carried the couple's young daughter, Starr Twinkle, crashed deep in the heart of a tropical jungle, leaving the fate of its passengers in doubt.
		Though Brenda Starr marks Linda Sutter's first outing with a comic strip, she's no stranger to the world of journalism—through her reportorial experience bears little resemblance to the glittery beat of Brenda Starr.

		Brenda would later come under fire for being too preoccupied with her looks and her men, and too far removed from the routine of real newspaperwomen: city council meetings and supermarket openings.

	Brenda Starr (1991) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Plot : Comic-book artist Mike Randall is working on the ‘Brenda Starr' comic-strip, about the adventures of girl reporter Brenda Starr, when Brenda turns around and starts to disagree with the way he is drawing her.
		During a chase sequence Shields rips a dress and has to stop at a conveniently located dress shop to buy several new outfits; or there is the moment she uses a nail-file as a convenient lockpick and then stops in her rescue attempt to file a nail.
		The best humour the film creates for itself is the intertextual play between Brenda and her cartoonist, with she constantly complaining to him how her handbags are never big enough to carry her notepad, or how she would never in reality be able to afford her wardrobe on a reporter’s salary.

		Brenda Starr debuted on May 8, 1976; no series of any kind followed.
		Other cinemadaptations of Brenda Starr include a 1945 Columbia serial starring Joan Woodbury, and a much-delayed (though not long-awaited) theatrical feature of the 1990s starring Brooke Shields.

	RollingStone.com: Brenda Starr Review
		"Brenda" is not as bad as the also-rans that Hollywood traditionally dumps on us before Labor Day (see "The Dogs of Summer," page 82); it's a heap worse.
		Cartoonist Mike Randall, an irredeemably bland Tony Peck (Gregory's son), is drawing the latest Brenda Starr strip, which shows our heroine again risking her life for a scoop.
		The story, set in 1948, focuses on Starr's most dangerous assignment: She must trek to the jungles of South America and track down a former Nazi scientist whose secret formula for a rocket fuel could be used to destroy the world if Starr doesn't beat an army of spies to the punch.

	St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Brenda Starr
		Sixty years a journalist, red-haired Brenda Starr began her career as a funny paper version of the pretty girl daredevil reporter who was a staple of movies and radio over a half century ago.
		Feisty and pretty, Brenda covered all sorts of stories for her paper and that put her in frequent danger from crooks, killers, and conmen.
		Brenda's managing editor was a fellow named Livewright and her closest friend on the paper was a somewhat masculine lady reporter named Hank O'Hair.

		Her acting ability has finally reared its head with Suddenly Susan, but prior to her stint on TV Brooke Shields did a number of lack luster appearances films that were shot as A-quality pictures, but suffered from her poor acting ability.
		"Brenda Starr" shows a turning point in Brooke's acting career, largely because it seemed as though she actually projected herself into the Brenda Starr character, verse reciting lines in her previous roles.
		In fact the best sequences of the entire film are in Act I; from Shields braving a ledge to get an interview with an Irish immigrant gangster, to her welcome home to the office by the Brenda Starr comic strip's supporting characters.
