Last night I was sitting at home catching up on TiVo and I get this text from my friend KS....
Crazy enough I knew exactly that LHOTP stood for Little House on the Prairie, but the rest of the description was clearly not enough to come up with a a plausible answer. I actually paused my TiVo and thought about it for a good 10 minutes wracking my brain. I texted back, "I need more Info"About 10 minutes later KS called me and said if she had more info she would know who it was as well as to illuminate me on why she was stalking a D- List celebrity at her local corner store. I asked more questions like, can you think of a small role she might have played or any actors who were in the TV show or movie she was also in? Nope. All she could tell me was she was an annoying younger sister type with curly blonde hair and big teeth, kind of goofy. We managed to talk it out some more and landed on the time frame being the 80's. I threw out shows like Growing Pains, the little girl is too young, Rosanne, it wasn't the first Becky but a good guess, Full House etc. Then we started talking movies. I was thinking John Hughes right away. KS said she is definitely a John Hughes type character. Then a light bulb went off. The little sister in Some Kind of Wonderful. Not the youngest sister that was Candace Cameron of Full House but the middle sister....YES!!! That was it. KS was amazed I managed to pull that out of my butt but hey that is the stuff that is burned in my brain. I have a lot of stupid useless knowledge taking up valuable space up there but this time it resulted in an impromptu catch up session with a friend who lives too far away from me these days.
In case you do not remember the little sister here is a picture from the movie to jolt your memory. Ms. Maddie Corman ala Laura Neslon.
and of course you all remember her, Watts...because we all know after HS was over she dumped stupid Keith Nelson went on to become a big old Mo.
and who did not want to be on the other end of this kiss....
enough said.
