Whatever Happened To . . . ?
October 27th 2008 22:21
As the saying goes - there's no business like show business, especially after they chew you up and spit you out - where it’s onto a lifetime of opening shopping malls, flogging your memoirs and if you're lucky, an eventual comeback trail.
So whatever happened to some of the stars of the past such as Eve Plumb (Jan Brady from the Brady Bunch) or Phoebe Cates even Erik Estrada from CHiPs or Donna Douglas from the Beverely Hillbillies?
After making it as a child star in Circus Boy and later The Monkees – what did Mickey Dolenz do with himself?
How about Shaun Cassidy or she of the rippled biceps and gladiator gear - Lucy Lawless?
Jennifer Grey, Christopher Atkins, the kid out of Webster or Fred Savage from the Wonder Years.
. . . and The Addams family kids, Punky Brewster, Pam Dawber from Mork and Mindy or Anson Williams aka Potsie from Happy Days?
How about La Beau from Hogan’s Heroes or Fuji from McHales Navy?
Any answers?
Or worse still – is there anyone else out there that not only has a “what happened to” but can offer a solution to our quandry’s?

Zaccary Smith from Lost in Space, What about Wil Robinson and the Robot?
And all those Bradys and VOn Trapps?
Gosh there are just dozens and dozens, a plethora of faces swimming before my eyes ... years and years of them all... OH NO, now they will haunt me too and follow me into my dreams, where they will pretend to be real and act like they know me, even.

Not sure about Dr Smith - but the blonde daughter (Judy?) made an appearance at a collectables fair I attended in Sydney about 18 months ago.
Boy - time has not been kind.
BTW - Age shall not weary Snaggle Puss, Magilla Gorilla, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Huckleberry Hound et al - thank goodness.

Love According to Jim (well like it anyway) . . . but poor ol Erik - reduced to cameo's these days . . . oh dear.
Still better than shopping centre appearances I guess.
Stay well
