The original Freaky Friday had Jodie Foster as the daughter and I don't remember who played the mother but she was a very pretty lady who looked a lot like Ann Margaret.


Barbara Harris was the mom in the original Freaky Friday.

I don't think we're allowed to detain them, but I wish this running would backfire on them. What cowards.

Some of them protected pics. I have done it a time or two. I like Alabama anyway and Laura Earl and I are homesick since we moved to Bolivia.
