Alex P. Keaton's TV mom on "Family Ties" is gay.
That's what actress Meredith Baxter told this week's People magazine.
"I'm a lesbian mom," Baxter, who played Elyse Keaton on the popular 1980s sitcom, told the magazine. "I feel like I'm being honest for the first time."
Baxter, 62, said she started dating women several years ago, but before that, being gay "had never crossed my mind."
Baxter said three failed marriages led to several difficult years in her life.
"I was never comfortable with myself," she said. "That doesn't mean I was questioning."
The actress says she is in a long-term relatioship with contractor Nancy Locke, and that her five kids all know, and support her.

Hey, she’s not bad for 62. At least, unlike some of those Hollyweird types who end up as plastic surgery disasters, she’s not afraid to age gracefully.

She’s 62, I would say she has aged well from that photo.

This is totally TMI!
If you have to announce your sex life, there's something wrong with you.
Just STFU and go on about your business. The world does not care.......

So, after driving three men completely insane in three marriages she figured it out.

“She has not aged well.”

Baxter was amazing in A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story (1992) (TV)
I'm disappointed, but hey..it's her life.

liberals never do, their lifestyle always is written on their faces and they usually look 20 years older because of it.

Baxter said three failed marriages led to several difficult years in her life. ^Ms. Baxter... your problem lies here - either in bad choice of husbands, or in inability to work out problems.
