And she has a glass eye!

33. I thought you were
maybe mid thirties. Try a girdle or a push up bra, darlin, and no one will notice the sag. I promise.

19. It was "Valerie" (while Valerie Harper was on), then "Valerie's Family"...
...after she left after one season in a contract dispute, then a year later it was "The Hogan Family."

I remember all this, but I couldn't keep Sandy Duncan and Cloris Leachman straight. :shrug:

11. Aha! So if my hero Duncan mentions that he always hated his name
because kids called him "Sandy Duncan", that would make sense to most people?

(Me, I went by the name Jena (pronounced Jenna) in school and got called "Bruce Jenna" for years *sigh*)

38. As the mom of a Duncan...
i think the "Sandy Duncan" comment is silly. Now, granted, my Duncan is only 3. :-)

I hear "Duncan Donuts" or "Duncan Pumkin" semi regularly for him. But, like I said, we're dealing with the preschool set.

How old is your character?

:hi:

12. Yes, I know who she is
I'm 28 and I remember her from her guest appearance on Scooby Doo. I think Daphne had to dress up like her to foil the bad guy. :)

As the plantation owner's daughter.

I haven't seen it since it was first on, and I was just a kid then.

37. Wasn't she on some crappy sitcom in the late 80's/early 90's?
Edited on Thu Jun-23-05 02:43 PM by Vash the Stampede
I'm 25, by the way. I think I know who she is, but probably not in your context.

On edit: She was. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094480/
