It got smaller because Valerie was hot and she not. Hollywood, hard to figure, go with the ugly one or the hot one?
Ain't THAT the truth! A lot of guys my age (mid-50s) had serious hots for Valerie back when ODAAT was on, but I don't know many guys who even gave MacKenzie a second glance.
Actually her drug problems had a lot to do with it. It’s hard to give somebody a big role when they don’t show up for rehearsals and sometimes even miss taping, then get arrested.
