After seeing my little tribute to Stefanie Powers, Reader Mike S. reminds me of another 80s lady, Loni Anderson, with this pic:
Aaaahhhh Jennifer from WKRP In Cincinnati, I remember her well:
She’s even good in black & white:
Feel free to add your favorite(s) of the genre, in Comments.
Ah yes, memories of my High School years amid raging hormones…..
I already took a hot shower today, now I need a cold one.
As much as I appreciated Jennifer in WKRP (And appreciate this post ), I was more of a Bailey Quarters (Jan Smithers) guy. Maybe because the Lonis of the world were so obviously out of my league, but the Jans _might_ be realistically approachable.
Same here. Nothing against LA (pretty, great body), but Jan Smithers was far more attractive to me. And, if I recall correctly, she looked damned fine in a bikini herself.
Burt Reynolds was a lucky man. Any way you want to cut it.
That grin though… I know that look was popular at the time, but I’ve always found it creepy.
Grin? She has a mouth?
(scrolls up)
Wow, never noticed, she’s blonde too…..
I spent my high school summer vacations deckhanding on fishing boats. One summer Burt Reynolds had his yacht moored to a private dock nearby, which we all inspected very carefully with our binoculars – to verify the vessel was seaworthy, of course. That Loni Anderson may have been catching some rays on the deck in her bikini was purely ancillary.
Incidentally, I took my deckhanding duties seriously. I started as a lowly bait boy. Once I became really proficient, I was promoted to Master Baiter.
Sadly, if I recall correctly, Loni had “breast reduction surgery” in the 1990s.
