Boo bop a lee bop! My Baby!

ACE- The theory on polling the kids is as follows. Kids reflect what they hear their parents say in the privacy of their home. Regardless of what they tell the pollsters, or even friends, the kids hear what Mommy and Daddy say while watching TV or talking at the dinner table. One thing is for sure, whatever the reason, the track record is pretty solid!

I'm with Greg on this - the kids are heavily influenced by what they hear at home. Many many people are private about their vote and won't discuss it outside the family or participate in polls. But out of the mouths of babes...

Yeah Ace, but she was *hottest* in Escape from Witch Mountain.

Whoa. . . Scott Ritter moment there. . . step away from the keyboard. . .

Cheers,
Dave

Ace, don't fret, I had a crush on Kim Richards too, especially in Escape From Witch Mountain (but she's older than me, so it's ok). There's something about witches, from Samantha Stevens to the Charmed chicks...

Yes, she's older than me too, so I guess I could have had a crush on her, but I think I was too young at the time to like girls.

For me, it was Hello, Larry. Especially the episode where the blind guy wanted to feel her boobs because that's how he "sees" the world.

I'll tell ya, I wore dark glasses and toted a tap-stick for a month after that. Seemed like a plan.

In Escape from Witch Mountain, didn't Kim have all the cool powers -- psychokinesis for starters -- whereas the brother could only play a fuckin' flute or something?

They keep doing that-- making the chick the cool one. The Wonder Twins-- well, everyone knows about that. Jana can transform herself into a T-Rex, and Zan can, well, turn himself into a puddle of lukewarm water. Which is kind of a cool party trick, but it doesn't really help against the likes of Solomon Grundy.

The tradition continues in Spy Kids, wherein the chick can do practically everything, while the brother seems skilled only at the proper procedure for disposing of fudge and pastries.

So where is she now?

I wonder if the Bushies are gonna start touting the Weekly Reader in their campaign literature.

I'm with Ace. Man, I had the hots for her, in a way that only a 9-year old can. Was'nt she in Land of the Lost too? Grew up quite nicely.

No, that was a completely different girl, and nowhere near as hot as Kim Richards.

Had a sort of pig-like Judd Nelson nose, too.

Well, I assumed you meant she was playing Holly.

If you meant she was playing a Sleestack or did the voice of Grumpy, then I don't know.

Yeah, ace, looks like you had a fogey detector set up there and me and ol' Dave fell for it.

Kim richards is way hotter than Clara Bow, man. But I don't know about Lily Langtry.

She's Lilian-Gish-hot.

I stand corrected. Go check IMDB...she's also Paris Hilton's Aunt (?) Gofiggur.

Ace: Whet your appetite here: http://www.hissandpop.com/celebrities/r/kimrichards/photos/015.jpg

uuhhhhhhh

thanks.

Ace:

Typo. Don't squeeze the Sharman.

I loved her in Assault on Precinct 13. Nobody gets shot holding an ice cream cone like Kim.

My chance to provide exclusive insight, and Greg beats me to it. And Elisa. OK, maybe it wasn't quite as exclusive as I thought.

But the Weekly Reader theory matchs what I thought I figured out for myself - in retrospect, I probably heard it somewhere. Who knows, maybe I heard it from my parents over the dinner table when I was a wee lad and they were remarking on the two in a row record.

Ace. Buddy. All may not be lost. Read that bio again.

1) Just turned 40.
2) Twice divorced.
3) Lives with Mom.

Sounds like she's one step away from cruising the Hombre room at the local Best Western.

Go for it buddy.

Like a Viking.

I'm with you on Donna Reed. I fell completely in love with her after watching "It's a Wonderful Life" for the first time.

yeah, but Donna Reed in From Here to Eternity, yeeeoww!

Damn Ace! You and I are simpatico. I had a think for Kim Richards too! And I could've sworn she was on "Land of the Lost". (I still have nightmares of the Sleestacks.)

Ok, "thing", not "think". That's how excited I am about this! I thought it was just me!

I always dug Lauren Bacall in "To Have and Have Not", but hey that's just me.

I used to crush on Ms. Richards a long time ago .I thought I was over it. Damn you, Ace, for messing up my dreams for tonight.

Uh, you do realize Donna Reed's dead, right?

First crush: Diana Rigg, aka Mrs. Peal of the Avengers. She's not dead, but she's looking as good as can be expected of a '60s heart-throb. I have an understanding wife who bought me for Christmas all the DVDs. I don't think I mentioned that crush to her, though.

The Land of The Lost girl was Kathy Coleman, according to imdb.

Hey kids (meaning those younger than Kim), the hottest she ever was was in the movie "Tuff Turf" (really, really bad movie but in the classic good, cult way; it also starred James Spader).... and yes that double "was" was intended... damn, did it again!

Kim also looked great in a couple of ads for Kodak as the "daughter" to "father" James Garner and "mother" Mariette Hartley... Yeah, I've stalking the girl since 1982 (the year she turned legal)

Sadly, since she's a bit younger than me, I cannot in good conscience, like Ace, admit to having been a "fan". Well, that and the fact that I've never watched anything she ever did.

But she is a dish, I'll grant you that.

I actually miss Helen Slater from "The Legend of Billie Jean". I'm showing my age there too.
