Did you see Corey Haim?
Amazing that they retained their chemistry into adulthood. Brilliant casting.
Sexy pantyhose legs 😊
What a shame Schneider has turned out to be such a loser and a lunatic
Diese Sehrie hat mir Kraft gegeben mit der Unterdrückung in meiner Pflege Familie klar zu kommen, die Sehrie zeigt auch Frauen können genau so stark sein und sich durchsetzen wie Männer .
Coy and Vance were amazing. I
Please don’t
😊😊
I watched Mr Weaver in a few Productions and enjoy all of them.😊
Real people talking. She’s fake but compared to today she’s Walter Cronkite. Jack Warden was a stud.
Lester from 227
Ari was of course pretty but Allison is my crush
Grandma fashion was very popular in the mid 80s.
amazing!!, do you have some video with lynda carter?
I saw Liberace at the Las Vegas Hilton during the late 70's. Unbelievable showman and talent.
cutie pie
Great legs Tyne
Show was magnificent. Can’t. Believe they tried to stop it.
me too...me too!
HES SO FINEEEE
Really enjoyed this. I know the trail. Bob and Pups in the forest of NW Oregon
Hombre hermoso,Descansa en paz ❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
The interviewer is an idiot.
Guided by his faith and his belief in God, this man had one of the most unique voices. So full of power and conviction . He may be gone, but his spirit and his vision for unity remain in the hearts of all believers. ❤🙏🔥
Someone inform Carrie’s Soul that there is no such thing as a 359 Magnum Luger. But I suppose all of you actors and directors really don’t know much about anything really. Yet they are quite anti 2A aren’t they?
I really like this interviewer! what a pleasant experience.
Such a handsome young man. What a shame he died so young.
I like the interviewer, Good voice and she turns her face away from the camera a lot with the focus on the actor. Who seems to be a rather shy person, BTW,. He was always great. And an ex-paratrooper,
interviewers are always so rude. Can't watch them...be nice to increase your audience!
I met Tony at the gym in LA and we became very good friends at the time I was dating someone and we all hung around the gym talking… He was an amazing man not only gorgeous but very funny and very humble. We did a lot of things together. I miss him so much and I am devastated. I hope you rest in peace a beautiful soul.😊
I met him in class at Stella Adler West. He was such a gentleman. A lovely human being who did not deserve to be taken so young,
Powell is giving me a boner in this segment 😊
He died less than a month later. Taken way too young at the age of 26.
when he covered his ears, so cuteee
Wow what a Mexican beauty 🇲🇽
The interviewer was absolutely horrible. She had a lot to work with here, but she didn't do her homework and was unprepared and unprofessional.
California was a different world from 1980 to 1990
He was roommate with Anthony Hamilton
She was 33 back the n.
A great show and they were cool rip both superior actors
Look its Henry Caville from the 80s
They divorced less than a year after this interview.
The mini-series 'If Tommorow Comes' was a great mini-series and the chemistry between Tom & Madolyn on screen was incredible!! .... Tom Berenger was one of the sexiest and most charismatic Hollywood actors of all time, he's career certainly took off in the 80's and he often played diverse characters, but often regretted he's choices. .... I would definitely recommend 'Someone to watch over me' and 'The Big Chill' and perhaps mini-series 'Flesh & Blood' if it's available, it was one of his first roles, extremely controversial, but couldn't resist watching.
I was so I love with Daisy Duke when I was a kid. I even named my dog “Daisy".
love
And the...12 seasons of Murder She Wrote and Miss Lansbury is an Icon
Larry Manetti was also in Battlestar Galactica during its brief run prior to Magnum PI.
One of the greatest actors loved him in the French connection The Conversation, Superman, Missiippi burning , I never sang to my father. And many more they don't make actors like him anymore am always thankful I was around to see the best Clint Eastwood Jack Nickelson Christopher Walken Robert De Nero....brilliant
Never had heard of Gary Sandy before WKRP, and after WKRP, he just disappeared. He was gorgeous, though. 🙂 Maybe, that's why I never missed an episode.
“And when you kill Nancy-you terrible person 😑-you do it so brutally 😓” “Well I put my back into it” this had me CRYING
