A Back to the Future reunion! |
| July 17th, 2015 under Freeform, Lea Thompson, Michael J Fox, Reunions. [ Comments: none ]

Believe it or not, it has been 30 years since Back to the Future came out. To honor the milestone, Marty McFly (Michael J Fox), his mom Lorraine (Lea Thompson) and Doc (Christopher Lloyd) reunited for the London Film Festival and Comic Con. Even though the movie came out in 1985, they haven’t aged a day since. Maybe it is time they do Back to the Future 4?
2015 is a big year for the trilogy for another reason because that’s the year that Back to the Future 2 took place. Recently, I spoke with Lea Thompson about that and I asked her what it is like living in this version of 2015 after living in the other one. She told me, “I think when we were doing Back to the Future 2, I think we all knew it was a kitchy version of the future. It was very dark and kitchy.” Then she added, “I don’t think any of us actually thought that 2015 would look like that. When you’re doing a movie about the future, you kind of have to put flying cars in even though it will never happen.” She explained, “Nobody wants to get in a flying car, I just don’t want to. It’s too dangerous.” She concluded the question with, “It’s interesting because in the 2015 version of Back to the Future, I was like 85 or something. Getting old is weird anyway, but to have it be marked by that is kind of an interesting experience for me.”
Her character didn’t look 85 in the movie and she doesn’t look 54 today. She still looks like the teen she played in the film that changed her life and many fans’ lives all over the world.
Thompson has been working nonstop since the Back to the Future franchise and on August 24th you will be able to see her in Switched at Birth‘s midseason premiere on ABC Family.

Last week Dick Van Patten passed away, and yesterday his former cast members got together to remember him. Even though it has been 34 years since the show ended, the surviving cast look just as close as they did when they played a family back in the late ’70s.
They reunion included (from L to R) Willie Aames, Dianne Kay, Laurie Walters, Connie Newton, Adam Rich, Betty Buckley, Brian Patrick Clarke(?), Grant Goodeve and Joan Prather. Missing is Lani O’Grady, who passed away in 2001, and Susan Richardson, who has suffered with many health issues.
Even though they reunited for a sad occasion, it truly is great to see them all together again looking so happy and good.

OMG! It’s Blair and Jo from The Facts of Life together again!!! |

Blair and Jo might not have gotten along when they went to Eastland Academy, but in real life Lisa Whelchel and Nancy McKeon are still good friends after nearly 35 years. Can you believe it has been that long since Jo Polniaczek joined The Facts of Life? I can’t because both actresses look phenomenal. I think they look even better now, then when they worked at Edna’s Edibles.
If any ’80s show deserves a reboot, I say it is The Facts of Life! Who’s with me? Maybe Blair, Jo, Natalie and Tootie can be teachers at their alma mater? Or they come back for their reunion and decide to go into business together? Who cares, I want just Edna’s girls together again!

A Three Stooges reunion! |

Did you read that headline and say to yourself how could Moe, Larry and Curly reunite if they are dead? Well they can’t, but the three actors who played them in the 2012 reboot can. That’s exactly what happened when Will Sasso, Sean Hayes and Chris Diamantopoulos got together for lunch yesterday. Hopefully they were talking about doing a sequel because the original movie was a real nyuck nyuck!

A Carol Burnett & Friends reunion!!! |

The surviving members of Carol Burnett & Friends were reunited today to tape something special for an upcoming release of a DVD for Time Life filled with The Lost Episodes from the beloved Variety Show.
Vicki Lawrence shared several photos of Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, Lyle Waggoner (one of the richest people in Hollywood) and herself from the taping, but didn’t say what they were doing exactly and when the DVD would be released. By the looks of it several people were lucky enough to experience their reunion. I sincerely wish I was one of them, but, I guess, this is close enough.
Doesn’t seeing the quartet together again like that, just being a smile to your face?
If you miss Carol Burnett & Friends, you can watch it every night at 11p on MeTV!
