HEY, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO...
Deborah Foreman
She was
priceless and spunky in movies like Valley Girl, My Chauffeur
(I quoted that movie with my friend, Tony, for WEEKS --
drove everyone nuts), Real Genius, and April Fools
Day. WHAT a smile on her. The last bit of work that I know
her as having done is Lunatics: A Love Story, but that's
on screen.
I
checked out her Official page (she did all the work) and have
learned that she's also an artist, a heck of a writer (from
reading her page), and a furniture painter as well.
You know, it really cheeses me off these people who are talented
in one area, gorgeous, and then just go on and be super talented
in an entirely different area. That just chaps my hide. (Sour
grapes? Heck yeah. <g>)

Joyce
Hyser
Until I
saw Hillary Swank in Boys Don't Cry I thought that type
of role would be forever unsurpassable than by Joyce Hyser as
Terry in Just One of the Guys. She was priceless.
Ironically enough, she also played alongside Deborah Foreman in
Valley Girl. So there you go. (I just can't remember
what she did)
Trivia: I
think she dated Bruce Springsteen for a while.
Lance
Kerwin
Remember
him? He was in James at 15. The last thing I know of
that he did was a part in the Dustin Hoffman flick Outbreak.
He also got arrested in San Francisco a few years back for
possession of crack cocaine, but it ended up it wasn't crack
cocaine. It was BAKING SODA. How's that for a major blot on
your perception rating? Yeesh.
Apparently he was married, had a child named Savannah, got sober
(apparently he had a substance abuse problem after all), and now
lives on a Bible Ranch in Perris, California. (Go Lance!)
He also teaches bible study.
From the biography I surfed through, he's not real interested in
returning to acting.
Chris
Makepeace
Ever see
Meatballs? He was the wimpy guy who pal'd around with
Bill Murray and ended up saving the day for the Camp North Star
Team.
("It JUST DOESN'T MATTER!")
He also did My Bodyguard
which was quite the classic in the early 80's.
He's another one who I have no idea what's going on with him.
I always found him to be a cutie, though. Haley Joel Osment
kind of reminds me of a young Chris Makepeace, both pretty talented.
Here's a website dedicated to hi. Apparently he's an artist
now?

Kristy
McNichol
I remember
her in Little Darlings with MATT DILLON (does that guy
ever age?) back in 1980.
She's been in a ton of stuff. The
last project I heard she did was voice work in 1998 called
Invasion America. Movie? Hm...Mother of the Bride
in 1983.
Kim
Richards
Remember
Escape From Witch Mountain? She was Tia. She could make
things move with telekinesis. I always wanted to be her. Two
reasons really: the telekinesis thing and that amazing long
hair.
From what
I know about her now, she's got a little girl and the last
project she did was back in 1990. She's got a fan site if you
want to check it out.
She's also the sister of Kyle Richards, who is the aunt (by
marriage, I suppose) of Paris Hilton. How wild is that?

Mark
Lester
Remember
Oliver! ?
He was Oliver Twist.
That gorgeous little
kid! He grew up, of course. The last picture that he did (that
I know of) was Crossed Swords in 1978. Apparently he
lives in England where he and his wife are Osteopaths.
(I'm not
sure what that is but it sounds medical).
William
Zabka
He played
some seriously obnoxious characters. He was Greg Tolan in
Just One of the Guys and that jerk from Karate Kid.
I just don't remember seeing much of him after that. Although
if you want updates, he's done Python and Roomies,
recently. So there you go. I haven't been paying attention.
He's also just directed a film called "Most", which was nominated
for an Academy Award. It is a Czech film. He works for a
company called Big Island Music, Inc. You can check out the

You wondered about them, too?
