[QUOTE=spoke-] I thought that might bring a BR5-49 fan out of the woodwork. 🆒 And no, I haven’t seen any recent photos of Bettie. Last I heard, she was living in Florida and refusing photographs because she wanted people to remember her the way she was. I gather that has changed? [/QUOTE] She’s been in “Playboy” in the recent past (few) years. Not a pictorial, but in the “party” section at a Mansion party with Hef. She looks fine (she’s in her 70s, I think), and as someone posted above, she has the most delightful smile - same as in her heyday. VCNJ~ ---

[QUOTE=Walloon] She’s pictured with “Pa” Newman, doing their own version of _American Gothic_, on numerous Newman’s Own products. [/QUOTE] Is that who that is!?!?! 'Cause I knew that wasn’t Joanne Woodward! ---

[QUOTE=Alessan] Joe Pesci hasn’t done thing since 1998, although according to the IMDB, he hs something commig out this year. [/QUOTE] I’m not talking about artists that haven’t been in movies recently, but artists that seams to have disappeared from the face of the earth I’ve searched for Suzanna love on the net, but didn’t find anything about her after 1991 ---

[QUOTE=Mahaloth] [Claudia Wells](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0920148/) , Jennifer in the first Back to the Future. [/QUOTE] The reason why she didn’t play in the sequel (according to the message board on IMDb) > [@](#): > > Little Known Fact::Everyone knows that Jennifer was played by both Claudia Wells (pt 1), and Elizabeth Shue (Pts. 2&3) But not alot of people know why. Claudia Wells was a manic depressant, and in 1989 was in such bad condition that she couldn’t act. She went “crazy”. She now feels better, and says she is willing to do another BTTF installment. gozzip ? [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0920148/board/nest/494709](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0920148/board/nest/494709) ---

[QUOTE=Walloon] She’s pictured with “Pa” Newman, doing their own version of _American Gothic_, on numerous Newman’s Own products. [/QUOTE] Actually, I think she is the head of their organic products division. I assume it’s a full-time job.
