Nope. She was outta there. The next Cagney had a huge lesbian following, but breeders weren’t made uncomfortable by her closeness to her father, her rapport with men, or her enjoyment of sports, because they made her also just a tiny bit slutty. Not that I’m bitter about it, or had been watching Meg Foster’s career, and thought she’d really earned a big break like that show, and liked her in it. ---
