Watching L&S as an adult is much different than watching as a kid. Very good show.

 

[DanOregon]

I hope she vo-di-oh-dohed .....RIP.

Rest, funny lady.

Watching L&S as an adult is much different than watching as a kid. Very good show.

They never should have left Milwaukee.

... and then there were none.

Sad. RIP.

... and then there were none.

Sad. RIP.

Lenny says don’t forget about me.

Tough day
Ron Howard’s girlfriend in American Graffiti

And his wife in AG II, a lamentable movie that, like many other sequels, should never have been made.

Was just watching "The Conversation" on TMC last night. She was perfect.

(Has any director ever had a run of four films like Coppola, 72 - 79? Godfather 1 & 2, The Conversation, Apocalypse Now. Incredible.)

Easy to forget that Williams was the real thing.

To her rest.

A childhood friend of mine was briefly a professional actor and and I once saw him in a production of Grease with Cindy Williams and Eddie Mekka in Atlantic City. RIP.

Lenny says don’t forget about me.

Acknowledged, but the group I was thinking of numbered two.

Man L&V was a big part of my youth; just a bit edgier than Happy Days so I enjoyed them more. Way too young. Thanks for the laughs. May she RIP.

 

[da man]

Another bit of news that makes me feel really, really old.

Acknowledged, but the group I was thinking of numbered two.

And then Lenny busts in uninvited. The perfect tribute really.

Ron Howard had some awesome memories.

"In American Graffiti, she was 24 and I was 18, and I had my first kissing scenes with her, but they weren't very romantic because she knew that she had this nervous kid on her hands and she had to take charge of the situation," he said.

"And so she was like, 'Here's how we got to kiss for the camera. Here's what we have to do.' She's always had almost a big sister energy around me."

She lobbied hard to play Princess Leia, but Lucas refused saying he didn’t want anyone from his past projects. I have to wonder what she thought when she saw Ford as Han Solo on screen.

Lenny says don’t forget about me.

And don't forget Rhonda. Leslie Easterbrook was on for almost half the show's run.

I didn't realize until just now what a sorry ending it was for Williams (not sorry because of her), who quit because the studio wanted her to work on her due date.

Her audition is on YT.

So is Linda Purl's (a little longer). She still sounds like the high school chick getting ready for a date with Richie Cunningham.
