 South Pasadena Man 
Still Missing

 
Nancy Abbate Caldwell, 76, 
will be the special featured 
guest dancer during the 
Pasadena Senior Center 
summer concert series 
performance Monday, Aug. 
13, at 6 p.m. by Pam Kay and 
The Tap Chicks.

 Abbate Caldwell will 
perform an a capella dance 
solo, join Pam Kay in a 
duo spot and share some 
of the highlights of her 65-
year career as a dancer and 
actress.

 Pam Kay and the Tap 
Chicks entertain with 
energetic dance routines, 
Vaudeville-style comedy 
and clever costumes while 
promoting health, longevity 
and quality of life through 
dance, defying the years and 
delighting audiences of all 
ages.

 The concert series is open 
to all ages. Feel free to 
bring a picnic, family and 
friends. Senior citizenship 
and membership at the 
Pasadena Senior Center 
are not required to attend 
performances in the summer 
concert series.

 Abbate, one of the 
original Walt Disney 
Mouseketeers in 1955 and 
1956, was considered the 
best dancer in the cast 
and was lovingly given the 
nickname “The Dancer” 
by Annette Funicello. 
Abbate occasionally makes 
appearances with other 
original Mouseketeers at 
Disney-related events, and 
in 2005 was asked to restage 
the original Disneyland 
debut of the Mouseketeers 
for the 50th anniversary 
celebration, featuring 
children from the dance 
studio she ran for 30 years 
in Southern California. 
She received the Mousecar 
Award from The Disney 
Studio in 2015 for her 
service to the company and 
the Disney Legend award 
from the Disneyland Fan 
Club in 2014.

 She was featured in the 
1953 Betty Grable and Dale 
Robertson musical film The 
Farmer Takes a Wife, the 
1955 Dean Martin and Jerry 
Lewis comedy film Artists 
and Models, the 1957 Johnny 
Crawford film The Courage 
of Black Beauty and the 2013 
Tim Allen and J.K Simmons 
film 3 Geezers! as well as 
television appearances on 
episodes of The Ray Bolger 
Show, The Stu Erwin Show, 
The Jack Benny Show and 
The Donald O’Connor Show.

 For the past few years she 
has produced, directed and 
choreographed a nightclub 
dance review called The 
Two Bits starring herself 
and dancer/actress Estee 
Cooper. The duo performed 
an act on America’s Got 
Talent in 2012 and made it 
to the semi-finals.

 The remaining concerts 
in the six-week summer 
concert series, Wednesdays 
from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Scott 
Pavilion at the Pasadena 
Senior Center, are Grammy-

Historic Home Pleads

 Play Music on the Porch 
Day started out as an 
idea... “What if for one 
day everything stopped... 
and we all just listened to 
music?”

 This year, Altadena 
Library will join the 
thousands of musicians 
in at least 40 countries 
and 400 cities around 
the world in celebrating 
Play Music on the Porch 
Day, by hosting a small 
jam session on the 
shaded Main Library 
lawn. Stop by between 
4:00 and 6:00pm to 
enjoy local musicians jamming 
together acoustically on a 
beautiful summer afternoon. 
Musicians and singers, of all 
levels, are welcome to join in 
this collaborative and relaxed 
musical moment!

 Hint: Wear a hat and some 
sunglasses! Bring a little towel 
if you want to lounge on the 
cool grass. It stays pretty shady 
under our beautiful trees 
outside the Library, but it will 
still likely be warm.

 The Altadena Library 
located at 600 E. Mariposa St.
