Today's Blind Items--A Little 80's Love
These both happened very recently, but you need to put on your I love the 80's hats to solve them.
This
'80s nighttime TV star has not aged well, but it's her personality that
could use more augmentation. A hardworking small-screen actress early
in her career, she became famous as a sweet and unassuming wife in a
hotbed of scandal, but in recent years has found work harder to come by
(and the lure of excessive plastic surgery irresistible). These days
many would view getting cast with her about as fun as landing themselves
in a leg-hold trap. At the end of one shoot, in addition to the usual
logo-embellished crew jackets given out by the production team, a second
set of "ordeal-by-fire" souvenirs were secretly handed around: t-shirts
that read "I survived [production name] with [actress' name]!"
Despite
oft-denied rumors of substance abuse and difficult behaviour, this
onetime TV A-lister has continued to have a career as unlikely as the
"plots" of her top-rated '70s series. Guest star roles and
movies-of-the-week are a far cry from the pin-ups, dolls and lunchboxes
that used to feature the faces of her and her costars, but in recent
years her attitude and behavior are always somewhere between diva and
demon. So hated was she on one particular set, seconds after her final
scene wrapped and spies confirmed she'd left the lot, the director
wheeled in a case of champagne he'd had chilling to thank his
long-suffering crew
