I’d have to agree.

My most likely pick for prettiest older era TV would be Barbara Anderson. She is the last one from Ironside as well.

80s era my choice would probably be Stephanie Zimbalist. I loved Remington Steele.

I wonder if Burt gave her a copy of his autobiography, written after the breakup?
Stuttering John Melendez, reporter for the Howard Stern show, asked him at a book signing event and Burt became upset.

I loved (most of) Apocalypse Now.
I saw much of 12 Monkeys. Didn’t really understand it, or gain anything from it. Too busy, if I recall.
Bruce Willis was getting all kinds of scripts back then.
Maybe he was under contract to produce X Number of Film,
‘or else!’.

Mrs. Howell (Lovie) looked like an older version of my girlfriend back in the day.

I always liked the running gag of Dr. Johnny Fever trying to sneak up on Jennifer.
