One more…
Loretta Swit 87
Actress Valerie Mahaffey, 71
She was one of those “I don’t know her name, but I recognize her”, appearing in numerous movies and TV shows over the years, often as the crazy chick.
She’s like Harry Dean Stanton or Adrian Belew–someone you’ve seen/heard a million times but don’t know their name.
She was great on Northern Exposure.
The greatest network show in history.
Indeed.
I could have ended my statement with “like everyone on the show.”
I’m hoping to diagnose someone with glacial dropsy one day.
Cheers is upthread.
Was Janine Turner hotter in Northern Exposure or was Maura Tierny hotter in News Radio/ER?
MAURA TIERNEY
Sorry…was that out loud?
Maura Tierney is probably top of the charts for underrated hotness.
I love how News Radio dealt with the whole “will they, won’t they?” trope in the first episode.
Friend of mine from college is her ex-husband’s cousin. Kerry told me Maura is one of the nicest, most down to Earth persons you’ll ever meet.
Easily.
News Radio is one of the most rewatchable 3-4 season comedies I’ve ever seen.
Learning that a celebrity is good people always makes me irrationally happy.
It’s the opposite of “never meet your heroes”
Love it.
Ahem, as MM said.
“Good people” may not be the proper description of Janine Turner.
I have never seen News Radio, and have no idea who Maura Turner is. I’m always behind the curve.
Great show. Hartman is a treasure, and Root was awesome. Even the eventual roided out dickhead was likeable.
