Welcome Back

WELCOME BACK, CINDY ADAMS!

How nice to see Cindy Adams back at work at the New York Post! Our fellow gossip columnist (we appeared on Geraldo and other shows together) mysteriously disappeared last April and we couldn’t find out a thing about her. We were worried. Cindy avoids doctors and says she practically had to be DRAGGED to the hospital after feeling ill. Apparently her condition was a big secret because doctors didn’t KNOW what was wrong until they did exploratory surgery and found a burst appendix that poisoned her system. She was also seriously anemic and needed work on heart valves. Four and a half months later she is BACK and we’re happy to see her column again!

FORMER SWEATHOG RON PALILLO IS NOW A HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER

Did you ever wonder what happened to Ron Palillo, who played the smart student Arnold Horshack on Welcome Back, Kotter? Ironically, Ron is now a TEACHER at a charter school in West Palm Beach, Florida. After moving back to New York in the 90’s where he lectured and did off Broadway plays, Ron, now 60, was offered a job teaching 9th grade acting at the G-Star School of the Arts in Florida. He says it’s exactly the kind of progressive high school he would love to have gone to himself. The former sweathog is a big hit with the students.
