Blind Item #13 - More 80's
This permanent A list celebrity who probably reached her peak in the 80's makes her living as an actress now. Back when this happened though, she didn't really act. One week she was on a show that was short lived but amazing. Network. The people who starred on it have gone on to some really amazing things. Anyway, our celebrity turned actress was still underage at the time. Just barely. She said that when she was on that show it is the only time in her life she has ever done coke. She said it just seemed like the right thing to do in that place where everyone was doing it.
Brooke Shields?
ReplyDeletewow...I thought models & she never even crossed my mind-Then I thought athletes & Mary Lou Retton's ilk..lol
ReplyDeleteShow ABC's--"Fridays" with Larry David, Harry Shearer,Michael Richards
I like that guess but I can't see it. Brooke was born in 1965 so we're talking about 1982 or so. Don't see any TV work at that time for her, just movies. So I guess you can't really say she was "just a celeb" either.
ReplyDeleteI don't know these things
ReplyDeleteBring back The Teen Mom blinds bwahahaha
she guested on Fridays on ABC -i wrote starsabove
ReplyDeletetrue about "just a celeb" -thought about that after hit button cuz she was REALLY young in Pretty Baby & Blue Lagoon so she was acting
ReplyDeleteor Tracy Lords, she was 19 and did a tv show called "Wise Guys" that was critically acclaimed. She has stated in interviews she did not party a lot (surprisingly) and she was known for porn before that. She definitely still has A list name recognition and acts in mainstream movies.
ReplyDelete*she did ONE epiosde of Wise Guys
ReplyDeleteNow THIS guess gets my +1--excellent sleuthing @ Derek
ReplyDeleteNevermind LOL..."Wiseguys" was on for 3 years so Imma gonna wait-- I remember "Wiseguys"
ReplyDelete-and Traci Lords never did cocaine again??
ReplyDelete-sorry for so many comments-
Sarah Jessica Parker with the short-lived 80s show being Square Pegs. Before that she was in Annie on Bway. Funny show that lasted a season. Jamie Gertz & Tracy Nelson were great on that show too. The drug stories from that show were very crazy.
ReplyDelete3 years is pretty short lived---80s shows went on and on it seemed
ReplyDeleteLook at shows like Facts of Life and Whos the Boss---they went over 10 years and they were crap!
BUT I just read that she admits to having a coke habit so it definetly doesn't work
I am sticking with Brook---I want this to be revealed!
*as stated below she admitted to having a coke habit so it does not work....
ReplyDeleteVanessa Williams
ReplyDeleteOn TJ Hooker or The Red Fox Show
I want the show to be "Freaks and Geeks" but cannot find a celeb to fit.
ReplyDeleteGood guess Puffy!!! I completely forgot about Square Pegs. It was actually a good show for its time...but was short-lived. The world wasn't quite ready for Square Pegs. /grin
ReplyDeleteFreaks & Geeks was only set in the 1980s... it was filmed in 1999 and 2000.
