‘Family Ties’ star Meredith Baxter hated her ‘enormous breasts’

The “Family Ties” star — who famously played Elyse Keaton on the hit ’80s sitcom — told Page Six that her breasts were “the plague of my life” early in her career, with TV execs constantly talking at her chest or making lewd comments.

I have a co-worker who is unusually endowed. She’s my age and it’s EXTREMELY obvious that she relied on nothing but her physical attributes (and still does) to get by. She has all the men doing her work for her as she is dangerously unqualified for her title.

Link only due to copyright but it seems Meredith Baxter is correct in her assessment.

[latina4dubya]

she also came on FAMILY as the attractive older sister—Nancy... with Kristi McNichol as Buddy... mid-seventies to early 80s...

Petticoat Junction was Meridith Macrae, the Rogers and Hammerstein Star Gordon Macrae’s daughter.

Merideth Baxter I believe is better known for Family from the seventies and Family Ties from the eighties.

But she really didnt have “enormous” breasts.

I have a hard time remembering less memorable breasts than this lady’s, who I barely remember.

She plays for the other team now.

[latina4dubya]

Wasn’t she on Petticoat Junction?

i don't think so...

Adrienne Barbeau - those were some breasts to remember from that era.

“She is a lesbian, IIRC.”

If true. That might explain the demise of her marriage to fellow actor David Birney.

[Steven Tyler]

She’s no Dolly Parton.

She’s pretty much average size

[dfwgator]

I probably watched The Fog ten times because of her.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

Exactly. Personally, I found Justine Bateman, the ‘Mallory’ character to be more appealing, though the character was not the brightest.

[numberonepal]

Not seeing it.

[rockvillem]

Yeah, that’s why she chose to be in a movie called “My Breast”.

Ha - someone else remembers! And for those doubting the size of her chest, she popped out one of the "girls" in this movie (for a breast exam) and it was, indeed, enormous. I never had really noticed on Family Ties.

My sister got breast implants when she was in her 50s. She also got a timmy tuck and lipo at the same time. Now in her late 50s, she’s heavier than she has ever been and the huge girls just age her. Vanity is, well, vanity.

Meredith Baxter during her Bernie days. She may be right.

[Jonty30]

I don’t she was. I went down the IMDB page to look that up and I didn’t see an entry for her on that show. She would have only been perhaps 15 or so, if she had been on that show.

[numberonepal]

Confirmed.

First, her breasts were never enormous. Second, she’s a kook lesbo.
