A couple of nights ago, I believe (3rd), they showed a segment of
"Entertainment Tonight" where virtually all the cast of the PF show
talked about their days on the show...and some of the times after-
ward. I even found out that Danny Bonaduce is a father now (a
daughter, I think he said). Up to this point, I just knew he was
married.
David even mentioned that he'd had a drinking problem for a while,
but has been sober for many years now. [It also mentioned his having
had problems with depression, but that I already knew.] I wish he'd
let his hair grow out again...at least a little. He still looks good,
of course--I think he always will--I'm just not used to it being so
short. He also seemed to look best to me with bangs.
You wouldn't believe how Susan Dey (Laurie) looks now; she's gone
blonde and her hair is barely shoulder length. Not that she doesn't
look good, it just comes as something of a shock because the last
time I saw her, her hair was still dark. She also mentioned having
a problem with anorexia, but I can't say I was surprised to hear
that; she was always so thin on the show. She even mentioned that
she wouldn't mind doing another series if it was offered to her and
she liked the premise of it. [It also mentioned that she had re-
married.]
She said that the thing that motivated her to get help for her
anorexia was something Danny said while they were doing the show
...something about her being literally skin and bones and that she
absolutely *had* to eat before something really bad happened!! She
mentioned not having a good self-image; that was why she'd done it.
Also, the second Chris, Brian Forster, mentioned how much he'd love
to do a PF reunion movie, but the others were against it and he
couldn't understand why, even though Susan claims that she remem-
bers her days on the show fondly. [Last time this was mentioned,
it was claimed that she had tried to distance herself from the show
and wanted nothing further to do with it. She must have changed her
mind or something.]
Did anyone get to see it besides me? I'm just mentioning the new
stuff that was covered. [Oh yes, even some bloopers/outtakes were
shown; got a real kick out of them.]
