unusual facts about Dobie-Paisano Fellowship



Carol Christensen

Christensen was married to The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis star Dwayne Hickman from 1963 to 1972.

Dwayne Hickman

After playing Dobie for four years (with fellow former Loyola student Bob Denver as his sidekick, Maynard G. Krebs), Hickman found himself stereotyped as a "youngster" when he was too old for such roles.

Everybody Loves the Sunshine

The signature track "Everybody Loves the Sunshine" has been sampled numerous times by Hip Hop artists such as Brand Nubian, P.M. Dawn, Common, Masta Ace, Mos Def and others as well as by R&B singer Mary J. Blige, Brazilian artist Seu Jorge and British remixer Dobie (for Björk's remix of "I Miss You").

Lowell Mick White

In 1998, White was awarded the Dobie-Paisano Fellowship by the University of Texas at Austin and the Texas Institute of Letters, a six-month residency at a ranch formerly belonging to writer J. Frank Dobie, an honor that has previously gone to such Texas writers as Sandra Cisneros, Dagoberto Gilb, and Oscar Casares.

Raissa

Raissa has also worked with several other musicians including Dobie and dance duo LHB, for whom she performed guest vocals during their support slot on Kylie Minogue's 2002 arena tour.
