Cloris Leachman (84), Mindy Cohn (44), Kim Fields (41), Charlotte Rae (84), Geri Jewell (54), Lisa Whelchel (47) and Nancy McKeon (45) aka Beverly, Natalie, Tootie, Mrs Garrett, Geri, Blair and Jo were reunited at the TV Land Awards. And even though aging should be bad, they all look good and that’s The Facts of their Life! Can you believe that show debuted in 1979 because they look amazing!
As much as I like this group all together again, they are missing some important cast members like Molly Ringwald, George Clooney and my fav Mackenzie Astin..:(

Twenty-five years ago Rob Reiner made a little film called Stand By Me narrated by Richard Dreyfuss with 4 virtually unknown actors (Wil Wheaton, Jerry O’Connell, Corey Feldman, and the late River Phoenix) and this week the 4 actors stood by the director and got to together to honor that big anniversary.
Can you believe that timeless movie was made in 1984 and how much the cast has changed? Wheaton, 37, is now a blogging visionary, O’Connell, 37, is no longer the fat kid from Stand By Me and Feldman, 39, is now as much a musician as an actor? I wonder if they knew back then that some of what was said at the ending of the movie would kind of mirror how their lives would turn out? Wheaton is the writer, O’Connell has been steadily acting, Feldman had his issues and Phoenix would be the first one to die out of the four?
OK enough sadness, don’t they all look wonderful? I so loved Stand By Me back when I was kid and now again and again as an adult.

Holly Robinson Peete and Mark Curry were reunited at the NBA All-star game and the two co-stars look as close at the did when they started working on the show almost 20 years ago. Can you believe The Talk co-host and the comedian are 46 and 49 (respectively) because they look exactly like they when the show ended in 1997.

Life Goes On’s mother and son Patti LuPone and Chris Burke were reunited at The Drama League’s 27th Annual All-Star Benefit Gala, and Libby and Corky look as close as they did when they were starring on the show over 20 years ago. Can you believe she is 61 and he is 45 because they look just like they did when they were the family drama? How handsome does Chris look in his tuxedo?
BTW he is working on a pilot called Forever Friends for kids that are ages 3-7. Here is a description of the show I hope gets picked up, “This unique show will feature people with and without disabilities both in front of and behind the camera. Individuals with disabilities will be featured not as ‘disabled’ but as talented, ‘abled’ actors.” We need a show like this on television and I hope that one of the networks/channels picks it up!

Alan Thicke and Julie McCullough were reunited at Syfy’s Mega Python vs Gatoroid premiere and it looks like they haven’t had any Growing Pains between them. The 63 year old actor and the 45 year old actress look as good as they did when they worked together on the classic sitcom over 20 years ago.
