Blonde. Big tits. Snagged herself a susceptible billionnaire some years back who was elderly and three parts senile, dressed up as a bride for his funeral in an amazingly tacky bid to impress on everyone watching what a devoted wife she had been, got into a long battle for the custody of the money, pretty much lost, been around ever since being famous for being famous. That’s about all I knew.
[john houseman] She made her money the old fashioned way… [/john houseman]
Well, then, I guess she’s about as well known outside the US as in it, then.
As an American, I knew her as the Guess? Jeans girl long ago, I always found her unpleasant in the face myself, but whatever. I think I heard she was Playmate of the Year once. (She’s no Erika Eleniak, heck, she’s no Julie Cialini.)
Then that court case, which actually went to SCOTUS & was considered potentially important for precedent.
Then lately the stuff about her son dying.
I just don’t want to hear about it constantly, OK? I don’t care, I have no interest in this odd-looking woman’s life, & I tend to avoid those gossip TV shows for a reason, y’know?
Linda Lavin? I would say 99% of Americans under 35 wouldn’t know who she is. And why isn’t Alice in syndication anymore?
Oops…I see this was covered above. I thought that didn’t seem right…Pitt, Jolie, Alice.
OK, I’ll fight your ignorance!
Andy Richter was Conan O’Brien’s co-host for the first several years of Late Night. He was a really funny guy, a kind of slightly pudgy younger brother for Conan to push around and banter with every night. Eventually, he left the show and moved on so he could do his own thing. I never saw his sitcom, but it didn’t last long, and I’m not sure what he’s up to today. (Although, apparently, whatever it is, the British are talking about it.)
I’m not certain that most Americans over 40 or under 21 would know who Andy Richter is, if it’s any consolation.
