In cleaning out a closet, I found a poster showing Crystal Bernard leaning up against a yellow 1995 Yamaha FZR600. There’s a Long EZ in the background. An airplane, a pretty girl, and a bike! Three of my favourite things!
I looked up Crystal Bernard on imdb. I haven’t heard of any of the things she’s done since Wings.
I know she did some country music here in Nashville for a bit after Wings but nothing big. I don’t know if she’s still here but I keep watching the streets so that she can meet and marry me someday.
I watched some Lifetime or Lifetime-like movie a few weeks back with my Mom that she was in where her Dad was accused of murdering her Mom. I don’t find this type of movie interesting, and this was no exception, but I did like seeing Ms. Bernard again. I find her awfully cute, even in this role that she seemed a bit too old for.
I used to date her sister Robyn in school while Crystal dated my fraternity brother, “Speedway”, so lots of good times together for the four of us. Their Dad is evangelist Jerry Wayne Bernard, so Crystal and Robyn grew up singing in front of a congregation and their affinity for the spotlight is understandable. A bit snobby until you’re her friend, then everything’s cool.
There’s an anecdote about Crystal “Bernhard”[sic] in the superlatively trashy portmanteau memoir You’ll Never Make Love In This Town Again (pp. 183-190. O.K., it’s a short chapter’s worth.) Granted, the anecdote in question is related by a former prostitute of Beverly Hills, so you might want to take what “Liza” says with a grain of salt. (Or penicillin. Whatever…)
Incidentally, her Dad is a rare but growing group of Evangelists who aren’t End-Timers, but Preterists - the End Times were 70 AD & Christ now reigns over history.
Gee, and I was hoping to spur those of you with prurient interests to pick up the book. It boils down to this: C.B. apparently isn’t dialing a zero on the Kinsey Scale – but then, few of us do.
It’s interesting that she’s a preacher’s daughter, though, considering. Poor thing!
