Conaway is step father of race car driver Emerson Newton-John, though Wikipedia implies he is the natural father. Emerson was born in 1974 Chloe has had plastic surgery. I can imagine it must be tough having a mother as pretty as Olivia Newton-John. And as usual _[the Family Circus](http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7559/381e.jpg)_ isn’t silent on [this matter](http://img863.imageshack.us/img863/4855/158f.jpg) ---

Wow! Newton-John’s daughter needed nothing in that ‘before’ photo. Sure, she’s not supermodel pretty but she’s not in any way unattractive. She’s actually pretty sweet looking. And although I can’t deny that Rumor Willis is, um, a little ‘odd’ looking (in that she looks **exactly** like a morphed photograph of Bruce & Demi) I still think she’s pretty cute. Just gotta get over that Leno-esque chin… ---

Occasionally on t’Internet I see comically altered pictures where people have shrunk a celebrity’s features to make it look like they have a small face on a big head. This is what Rumer Willis looks like naturally. I just wanted to add some love for the brief but entertaining [Wizards and Warriors](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWEoHek8IM0) starring Conaway. Between _Grease, Taxi, Babylon 5_ and _W&W_ he’s been in a number of shows I’ve really enjoyed and it has been sad to see what has happened to him in the last years of his life. ---

Looks like I just missed being the one to mention W&W; I have fond memories of seeing him in that show as well as the others you mentioned. I think that’s one reason I’ve skipped the Celebrity Rehab shows, because I don’t want to wreck those memories. ---

Just gotta get over that Leno-esque chin… [/QUOTE] And she needs to look at Newton-John’s daughter and Joan Rivers and numerous other examples whenever she considers getting plastic surgery to improve her looks. General rule of thumb: unless you have a big wart on your nose or some other kind of blemish plastic surgery rarely makes you look better, just different. (Phyllis Diller is the exception, and even she went overboard.) ---

## Sounds like Jeff Conaway is now gone. Booze and pills and powders, you gotta choose your medicine, now here’s another goodbye to another good friend. After all is said and done, you got to move while it’s still fun, I’m gonna walk before they make me run… ---

His ex-wife, Rona Newton-John, was with him when he died. She referred to him once as a “beautiful sweet fucked up mess” but apparently never stopped caring about him. ---
