You're Not Famous Anymore...

re: Teri Garr
Don't forget Oh, God! Loved her in that. Who wears short shorts?

She has also done a good bit of TV stuff as well, including being Phoebe's mom ("Phoebe Abbott Sr" hee!) on Friends and even doing some commercials. Yeah, MS sucks but I think she's doing pretty well all things considered though I totally agree that she's not as popular anymore as she probably could be (would be?) if she were 100% healthy. Then again, who knows?

I present to you Ann Jillian, whose bleache blonde bangs tormented everyone for a little while in the '80s, and Jackee, who just tormented everyone.

Also, the cast of Family Matters, who can stay gone, as far as I'm concerned, esp. the mulleted little kid who played Michael-Jackson-dancin' Richie. Ugh.

Furlong? On drugs? Surely, you jest.

But he does have six movies out or coming out in 2005. Some of them are low budget. And have Tara Reid.

Aw, damnit, it's true. He's washed up. But I have liked him so much.

Corey Haim, I have heard, has literally prostituted himself for drugs.

Corey Haim actually sold one of his rotten molars on ebay. I'll try and find the link. Hee!

Has Edie McClurg done anything notable besides voice work in the past few years? I mean, she was the White-Out sniffing secretary in Ferris Buehler's Day Off and Mrs. Poole from The Hogans.

Speaking of Ferris Buehler's Day Off, has Ben Stein done anything interesting since his game show shit the bed? Once he got rid of Kimmel, it was all downhill. They don't even show the other hosts on the syndicated GSN episodes.

Wasn't she on CSI a few episodes ago?

[Deleted]

Yeah, she does little things like that. But she was pretty famous back in the 80's, and now you hardly ever see her face.

ETA: Corey Haim seels his tooth and hair clippings on Ebay.

[LurkerNan]

Selling his teeth and hair? That's beyond sad, that's pathetic.

Mia Sara (Sloane) and Alan Ruck (Cameron) have both worked steadily from what I see on IMDB. But they all seem to be movies I've never seen or even heard of. I can't believe Alan Ruck didn't get more famous -- He came pretty close to stealing scenes from Matthew Broderick.

And speaking of Edie McClurg -- Did anyone from WKRP in Cincinatti go on to healthy careers? You'd think there would have been at least one break-out performer.

[mrpancake]

I can't really say too much about his career other than Alan Ruck was, as of about three weeks ago, playing Matthew Broderick's part in The Producers. I only know this because I saw him in it last month and he was indeed very good in the role and is surprisingly talented.

Kathie Lee Gifford, your thread has arrived.
