What would you do if I sang out of tune...
After seeing a picture of Paul from "The Wonder Years" (www.lindsayism.com) I had to think, what happened to other tv/movie stars I fancied in the 80's. Not the ones that get asked to be on a VH1 special, but just the random one-time quasi celebs I remember.
1) Christopher Pettiet- "Don't tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead"- and so is he...accidental drug overdose. I thought he was so "fine" that I remember getting so excited when they put a picture of him in Big Bopper. He was never a big star, so I think there was only one, maybe two.
2) Bill Allen- aka Cru Jones in "Rad"...it's difficult to really find anything on him since his name is so common. Maybe it's the same Bill Allen now doing real estate. Or maybe it's the same Bill Allen who has his own geneology web page (except that guy looks about 90, so I doubt it). All I know is this: Nothing will ever top his bike dancing scene w/ Lori Loughlin to Real Life's "Send me an angel"...Do you believe in heaven above, Do you believe in love, Don't tell me a lie, Don't be false or untrue, It all comes back to you...
3) Brigette Anderson- "Savannah Smiles" and "Parent Trap II"....I promise, I'm not only trying to find dead people, but yet another one lost to an accidental drug overdose. What the f*ck is going on...is anyone from the 80's still alive? Her counterpart in "Parent Trap II", Carrie Kei Heim (aka Pippi Longstocking...another favorite), took a different path- she's now a lawyer, just like Mr. Saviano. So I guess child actors come to a crossroads where they say, "Law school...or heroin."
Well kids, my time searching IMDB has come to an end.
Reagan
Oh, by the way...there is an actress out there with the same name as me. She is 17 and from Texas. Just like me, except I'm 24 and not an actress. And she spells it differently. Ever wonder if there's someone out there with your name, playing hookers or pedophiles or god knows what??!!!
