Loni Anderson was on Watch What Happens Live yesterday, and Andy Cohen wanted to know about her kissing scene with Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Jayne Mansfield Story.
It was the body builder’s first role, and he wanted to make sure he was authentic when he played Mickey Hargitay, Mansfield’s husband and Mariska Hargitay’s dad. Therefore, he went all-in for the kiss, and it has been reported the director had to yell cut.
“It was a pretty amazing kiss. I think I yelled, ‘cut,'” Anderson said. “It was getting pretty intimate.” She then added that he was a good kisser.
Now, let’s talk about the actress. Can you believe that she is 75 years old? She looks phenomenal. Even better than when she starred in the 1980 telemovie.
Today is Barbara Eden’s 88th birthday. However, she celebrated it earlier this week with some friends at The Hollywood Museum. You might recognize some of them because, like her, they have been on our TVs all of our lives.
Do you recognize Leonard Maltin (movie critic), Elliott Gould (E/R), Roslyn Kind (Singer), Donny Most (Happy Days), Erin Murphy (Bewitched), Judy Tenuta (comedian), Peter Marshall (Hollywood Squares), Loni Anderson (WKRP in Cincinnati), Ilene Graff (Mr. Belveder), Anson Williams (Happy Days) and Dawn Wells (Gilligan’s Island)?
We normally might have to change the channels to see them all, but for once we get to see them all in one dream photo? I feel like I rubbed Jeannie’s bottle and a wish I never knew I wanted came true. While we got our wish, I hope that Eden got the one she made when she blew out her candles.
Happy Birthday Barbara Eden, may you get everything you want and more!
Over the weekend, Buffalo held the World’s Largest Disco and several ’70s icons came out to put on their boogie shoes. The groovy celebs are The Brady Bunch’s Barry Williams, Mike Lookinland, Chris Knight, Susan Olsen with “Fake Jan” Geri Reischl, Howard Hesseman and Loni Anderson from WKRP in Cincinnati, Lisa Whelchel from The Facts of Life and Deney Terrio from Dance Fever.
What a neato lineup of actors who look just as great now as they did then. Plus, they did it for a good cause because the event was to raise money for Camp Good Days & Special Times. That’s the way, uh huh, uh huh, I like it.

Before Loni Anderson was good at keeping secrets on WKRP in Cincinnati, she was using Secret Deodorant. How beautiful is the 27-year-old in that 1972 commercial?
Last week, Burt Reynolds was on the Today show and at the end of his interview he told Hoda Kotb, “I am so proud of you for not having your lips larger.” Today, when he was on Steve Harvey’s talk show, the host asked if he wanted to clarify those comments. He did.
The actors explained, “I meant is as compliment because, you know, women are getting their lips made larger and I don’t understand it but it is fine with me.” It would have been fine if he stopped there, but he didn’t. He added, “I could just bounce off them.” The audiences’ shocked faces say it all. Like are we supposed to laugh at that?
After making matters so much worse, he then really explained what he meant on last week. He is not a fan of silicone lips and he likes them all natural. While that is better, it is still something you say during a commercial break and not on camera.
Burt Reynolds, they don’t make them like him anymore. I am not sure if that is a bad thing.
