Blast from the Past

TERI COPLEY IS SUDDENLY IN DEMAND

As the old saying goes, even bad publicity is good publicity, and that’s proving true for blast from the past Teri Copley. The actress, a popular starlet in the 1980’s (We Got It Made) hasn’t had much of a career for ages, but that’s suddenly changing. After John Stamos wrote in his memoir, If You Would Have Told Me, about their love affair and her alleged cheating on him with actor Tony Danza, Teri has been introduced to an entirely new audience. EVERYBODY wants HER side of the story- and more. A longtime friend reveals that in addition to a surge in popularity for her podcast, Teri is suddenly being wooed for acting jobs in the genre of Jennifer Coolidge. My source says Teri is being considered for “hot mom” roles…

Blast from the Past Jane Fonda Madonna Parking Meter Work Out

BLAST FROM THE PAST: MADONNA’S SPENDING HABITS

A paparazzi and longtime friend of ours, Gary Lewis, is coming out with a fabulous book (He has GREAT celebrity photos and stories) and we happened to snag these two photos of young Madonna. Back in the late 80’s, Madonna worked out feverishly at Jane Fonda’s Workout four times a week, and she ALWAYS got parking tickets because she never fed the meter! Finally her manager Freddy DeMann became furious because she was wasting thousands of dollars on tickets plus penalties and interest. He insisted she start putting money in the meters. Photographer Gary caught her nonchalantly taking tickets off her windshield and later putting money in the meters. Madonna usually exercised way too long and the meters expired anyway. She was always nice to Gary, so he often put change in the meter for her. Eventually Madonna got tired of her manager’s complaints and she solved the problem by “stealing” his assistant away and hiring her to be her personal driver. So no more parking problems.

(We almost forgot how young and innocent Madonna looked in those days…)

Blast from the Past Family Matters Judy Landers Kids

JUDY LANDERS ON ROBERTSON SHOWING HER LOOKALIKE DAUGHTERS THE ROPES

Back in the 80’s, Judy Landers was the quintessential dumb blonde on TV shows like Vegas, The Love Boat, and Fantasy Island. Now she’s got two daughters, Kristy and Lindsey, with lots of the same blonde hair, pink lipgloss, and augmented cleavage, and we have to assume they’re second generation aspiring actresses. This photo was taken on Robertson and the mother and daughters always seem to color coordinate their outfits. They are kind of fascinating.

Blast from the Past Christopher Walken Meryl Streep Natalie Wood

CHRISTOPHER WALKEN STILL HAS LOTS OF HAIR

Photo Credit: Buzz Foto

Christopher Walken is all dolled up to attend the Lincoln Center Tribute to Meryl Streep. They costarred in The Deer Hunter together and he won an Oscar for best supporting actor. He often plays unstable characters but we loved him as a 50’s dad in “Blast from the Past.” Of course, he’ll never live down the fact that he was on that yacht the night Natalie Wood mysteriously drowned.
