The left BRIGHT filament was broken. That was the first one to go. Then whe I turned the car on Friday night, as soon as I turned on the headlights and hit the high beam stalk BOTH right headlights went out. These filaments were melted, with a shiny round glob of metal the only bit of the filament wire left on one side. My conclusion is that when one light goes out it puts extra current through the other side, and that will soon cause the other lightbulb to fail.
Thanks for the tip - I looked carefully at my ground connection and it is clear, without any rust, although my car is an '87.
