Didn’t Marcia Strassman play Rick Moranis’s wife on those Honey, I Shrunk the Kids movies?
Remember when one of the Sweathogs (Epstein?) painted a mural of Mrs. Kotter with a bodacious body in a bikini? He later admitted that the body belonged to Dolores Del Vecchio, but that he had used Mrs. Kotter’s face because she was the only girl he knew who didn’t have acne.
Yup, Strassman played the wives of both Kaplan and Moranis.
BTW, does this mean Travolta and Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs get put on deathwatch ?
Well Mickey Rooney was married to Ava Gardener for real so....
I wonder if Moranis will come out of retirement for the planned Ghostbusters 3. I think Bill Murray said no already.
The show wasn’t even funny.
And I LOVE Seventies shows.
(Having been born in 1976 I missed out on my favorite shows the first time around.)
