When it comes to letting loose, Animal House, for many of us, provided our first lesson on partying.

Beloved U.S. TV actress Gloria Winters-Vernon has died at the age of 78. Winters-Vernon passed away at her home in Vista, California on August 14 after a battle with pneumonia, her family tells The Los Angeles Times.
As Gloria Winters she enjoyed guest acting roles in numerous 1950s series, including "Richard Diamond", "Private Detective", "Racket Squad" and "Death Valley Days" - but she was perhaps best-known for her role as Penny in TV western "Sky King". She retired shortly after the series went off the air in 1959 but found love on the hit show before she quit acting, marrying Dean Vernon, a sound engineer on "Sky King" who died in 2001.
The "Sky King" role also inspired her to write an etiquette book for young girls, entitled "Penny's Guide to Teenage Charm and Personality" - which inspired alternative band Nada Surf's 1996 song and video "Popular"
.
Winters-Vernon is survived by her sister-in-law,...

To: Dean Vernon Wormer, Head of Admissions, Faber College
From: Sector 7 Agent Simmons
It has come to my attention that Mikaela Banes has been accepted to your esteemed college but cannot attend without some sort of scholarship. I had some dealings with her during my tenure in the now-defunct Sector 7, and fervently urge you to deny this vapid, disreputable young woman both a place at your superior school as well as the monetary support she will need to attend it. I'll admit that she's a looker, but since you are running an academic, not a modeling, school, pulchritude is of no importance to you. So, in your service, I've attached a list of her crimes against our country.
DreamWorks & Paramount Pictures' Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen hits theaters June 24 in regular format & IMAX.
