Beau Smith sent me this:
Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Wally Wood, Don Heck and the rest of the “nutty Marvel Bullpen” cut a record.
Jeez, I don’t know who this “Flo” was, but she sure is reading that script. There aren’t any real actors here…Stan included…but it is interesting.
Thanks for the tip, Beau!
UPDATE: No, I don’t know that Flo Steinberg is Stan Lee’s secretary. I don’t read Marvel, remember?

“Flo” is Flo Steinberg, who served as Stan Lee’s secretary as well as Marvel Comics’ receptionist. Read more about her at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flo_Steinberg
You don’t remember who “Fabulous Flo” Steinberg was? She was Stan’s secretary for years. You usually wouldn’t see her name anywhere except in the MMMS text page, but if my own faulty memory serves, there was a “What If?” where four of the Bullpen gang (Stan, Jack Kirby, Flo Steinberg, and a fourth whom I forget) got the powers of the Fantastic Four. And of course, Flo was the Invisible Girl.
I think that would be Flo Steinberg, Stan Lee’s secretary for most of the 1960s and the only person other than Stan himself who was an actual employee of Marvel at that time (the artists were all freelancers). She quit in 1968 when she got overwhelmed by all the fan mail and the publisher wouldn’t give her a raise. She later published an early independent comic called “Big Apple Comix.”
