The Trek To Trax

AN APPEAL:



A few days ago, we were thrilled to receive an email from the elusive, enigmatic Trax Colton, aka Louis Morelli, who had a brief moment of screen stardom when he co-starred opposite two legendary bombshells: Julie Newmar in The Marriage-Go-Round (1960) and SSUWAT favorite Jayne Mansfield in It Happened in Athens (1962). In spite of his stunning looks, Colton's career faltered; he returned to "civilian" life, and information about him before, during, or after his brief fling with movie making remains scarce. Imagine, then, our pleasure at receiving communication from him! Unfortunately, we suppose due to his security settings, our attempt to respond to Mr. Morelli's email was unsuccessful and was returned to us. If you are reading this, sir, please know how unbelievably happy we were to hear from you, and would very much like to speak with you further.
