Old TV crushes that you would be afraid to look up now (1 Viewer)

Dianna Rigg (sp?)

Definitely hot in The Avengers

It's not that she aged poorly. She's just aged a lot.

Now one of my favorite characters on GOT.

Cheryl Ladd was my gold standard growing up. I haven't tried to google her so I guess I'm keeping the fantasy.

Yeah Cheryl was all that. I had this poster. And really considering she is in her 60's she still looks pretty good.

I know Farrah was a big deal and all but you could make a strong argument Charlie's Angels upgraded going from Farrah to Cheryl Ladd.

I think you could make the argument. I didn't have the Farrah poster but I had Cheryl's. This might be a little Beatles versus Stones though.

Yeah, not trying to diminish Farrah. Just always thought Cheryl Ladd never got the due she deserved for being so hot, mainly because Farrah was all that back then and following her on the show wasn't easy to do.

Farrah may be my least favorite of all four.

I don't know what it is, but women apparently age very slowly when they work on soap operas. I was at my parents a while back, and my mom had Days on (she has watched it for decades), and I have seen it enough off and on over the years to recognize some of the actors, and one of the women came on, one I hadn't seen in like 10 years, and I was like, she looks the same now as she did a decade ago. I don't know how they do it. :lol:

 
Erin Moran had something about her I liked back then(nice rump). Then i saw those pics of her as a meth head. Sad.

Jaclyn Smith is still a babe however old she is.

don't forget about Ann B. Davis. HAWT!!!

Before my time, but definitely hot in The Avengers. Probably my first TV crush, long before I even knew what the term meant, was watching re-runs of the Batman TV series with Julie Newmar playing Catwoman. God lord, man!

Erin Mother####ing Gray. Holy Crap. I was so in love. She was ok in Silver Spoons. But Buck Rogers? Oh my god, I was transfixed. I didn't even like girls yet, or have an inkling of what sex was. But I knew I loved her. Oh, I knew.

Too true. The Draconian princess in Buck Rogers wasn't bad to look at either. Man, did that show go to hell in season two.

Indeed. I think she was also the sidekick on Matt Houston.

I should have been afraid to look this one up.

Susan Richardson (Susan Bradford on Eight is Enough)

Then

Now

EIGHT IS ENOUGH” cutie Susan Rich­ardson is desperately ill and living in a broken-down trailer that she can’t even afford to heat!


“It’s 14 degrees out, and I’m sitting here in sweatpants and gloves – and I’m still cold!” Susan, 60, told The ENQUIRER from her frigid Pennsylvania home.

The down-on-her-luck actress – who played fourth oldest sibling Susan Bradford on the beloved series from 1977 to 1981 – is also battling a host of serious medical problems.

She’s diabetic, suffered a series of strokes and lost all her teeth to an incurable digestive tract condition.

But the once-bouncy redhead insists she’s soldiering on – getting by on a small TV pension and fashion­ing canes for military veterans out of birch branches she collects in the woods.

“I don’t want to complain too much, but I’ve had more than my share of problems,” said Susan.

“I had a series of mini-strokes. Then I discovered I had a rare disorder that made my esophagus go spastic.”

The condition caused her to regurgitate stomach bile, which eroded her teeth and caused infection, she explained.

“The dentist had to pull all my teeth,” she said. “Fortunately, I have false teeth now that my daughter bought for me. But my doctor has told me that I’ll need to have a balloon inserted in my esophagus just so I can eat.”

The disorder also triggered such stabbing pain that Susan stopped eating, and dropped from 167 to 107 pounds.

“I’ve gained some of that weight back, but it’s still hard for me to get food down,” she said.

During her “Eight Is Enough” heyday, Susan was also a favorite on TV game shows, including “Family Feud” and “Password Plus.” But she battled addiction problems and her last acting gigs were in two “Eight Is Enough” reunion movies in the late ’80s. Now she’s living off a paltry $2,000 monthly pension. “It’s just enough to get by on,” she said. “And with the pension, I’m not allowed to do any TV work.”

Meanwhile, her home – a 28-foot 1960 Avion trailer in the Birchview Farm Campground in Wagon­town – is a dilapidated dump.

“There’s always some­thing wrong with it,” she said. “It’s frigid inside most days. The water hasn’t been working, so I can’t make coffee, and the floor is rotting around me. I desperately need a new trailer, but I can’t afford it.”

Choking back tears, she said: “It’s really embarrassing to say, but I’ve never been in such dire straits.”

With an upbeat note in her voice, she added: “We’ve just gone into DVD sales for ‘Eight Is Enough,’ so I’m hoping to get a little money from that.”

Susan said she’s “too proud” to ask her mother, who lives nearby, for money, and she won’t tap her daughter Sarah, 32, in California for a loan either.

“They’ve both done too much for me already,” she said.

Susan spends most of her time huddled under blankets with her mixed breed pooch, Honey Bunches of Oats, making canes that she donates to veterans.

“I do it for therapy,” said Susan, who was hospi­talized for a nervous breakdown in 1999.

“It’s also my way of giving back. The wives of some of the vets tell me their husbands were buried with the canes I made for them.”

Susan even made a cane for her TV dad, **** Van Patten, after his 2006 stroke.

“Mr. Van Patten was the last person from the cast I’ve spoken to, and that was six years ago,” she said.

Susan couldn’t join fellow cast members for an “Eight Is Enough” reunion on the “Today” show in 2010 because she was recovering from esophagus surgery.

News of her sad plight touched the heart of Van Patten.

“I’m so sorry to hear about Susan,” Van Patten, 84, told The ENQUIRER. “I’m the godfather to her daughter, you know. Susan was a good friend and a good actress. I wish her all the best. I hope her situation improves.”

I had no idea what the names were for these women but all I can say is I never made it the full 20 minutes but somehow my left arm was bigger than my right after about 6 months of "working out" to them.

If I'm not mistaken, those were part of HBO and their 1st yr or two of existence. Between movies they would play these girls (and others that were hotter) doing exercises. Kept you interested and tuned in.

I think they were just interested in your health and wanted you to get a little exercise between movies.
