I thought she just plain looked bad. She looked the least recognizable
compared to everyone else. Also, was it just me or did she seem a little drunk
or loopy?
The special was interesting, but was dragged out too long. How many hours
of Joyce DeWitt does one have to endure to understand that she was extremely
bitter then and extremely bitter now?
My favorite part was Susan Somers reflecting and saying she probably would
handle the renegotiation different if she had the chance to do it over again.
Still, after all the career killing damage that happened, she's a survivor,
baby. She's still the star.

Somers has done quite well for herself, given her rather limited talent and
the deep distrust she inspired after her misbehavior on THREE'S COMPANY: a
club act that plays the big rooms, two TV series (including the popular and
successful current one), TV movies, the Thighmaster thing. I have heard from
people who have worked with her in her club act that she is hard-working,
intelligent, and easy to get along with. So it appears that she learned
something from her early mistakes -- to which she is willing to admit in
public. That's pretty impressive.
She certainly has enough clout in insist on the most flattering lighting and
camera angles for her segments of the show - she looked terrific and
glamorous, whereas Ritter, Dewitt and the "Chrissy clones" all appeared
middle-aged and ordinary.

I have to admit I groaned a lot when she wrote the book about her family's
dysfunctions and the alcoholism but I long ago decided it was a brave and
helpful thing to do. She's done nothing if not stand up and take responsibility
for her decisions in her life.
My favorite story is when she was promoting her butt-shaper, after the
thigh-master
success. A talkshow host (Tom Snyder?) asked how the heck she came up with that
idea.
She and her husband were drinking red wine at a place outdoors overlooking the
Mediterranean, trying to come up with a way to make a lot of money. After the
second or third bottle they came up with the butt-master - it sounded great and
they worked out the busniess plan, etc. that afternoon.

Believe it or leave it, but Somers actually does look that good in real
life, without the filters. As for Barnes, did she remind anyone else of
Carol Channing?

journeying, she still doesn't even know *why* she's bitter -- let alone have
a clue how she can bury the past. Dewitt was enormously lucky to get
"Three's Company" and, even more, to ride that train for 9 years. She is
nothing special as an actress or a personality, and she was not able to
parlay that incredible success into *anything*, not even a supporting role on
a sitcom or a touring company of CHICAGO. That, I think, is what is killing
her: the idea that this golden goose fell at her feet once (no thanks to
her) and she's waiting for it to happen again. Sad.

Joyce is a Taurus with her Venus and Mercury also in Taurus. Her Sun
squares Jupiter. This would indicate someone who needs time to think
about things and who would be conservative about opportunities. In other
words, she might have been slow to follow up on offers. The square to
Jupiter might add a dash of pessimism about what is offered. She also
owns and operates a Pisces Moon. We can be terrible complainers
sometimes. With a Taurus Sun and Venus, she would be slow to anger but
long to keep it. With the Sun being squared by Pluto she would never
forget a slight and she would would be prickling for revenge.
This could all add up to some bitter anger at herself and others.
She might tend to grumble and brood without ever really having it out.
Suzanne on the other hand has her Libra Sun widely conjunct Jupiter. Not
square. She tends to see opportunities quickly and has absolute faith
that what she attempts will just have to succeed because that's just how
her world works. Add that to what looks like a heavy emphasis on work
ethic, Sun/jupiter in the 6th, Capricorn Midheaven, Taurus on the Asc.
It also looks she's very sensitive to what other people want---their
hidden agendas. She's shrewd and rarely surprised. She has those feelers
up. So of course the thighmaster was going to be a raging success. There
was never any question. Like someone said earlier, she really knows how
to work with what she has. Thanks for sending me to the charts for a
look.
They are both very attractive to other people but Joyce is more passive.
Suzanne has the ability to reach out to people and connect to their
emotions.

Suzanne Somers is a bigger star than ever (we're talking Joyce's perception

never was late or absent -- and look who got all the candy.

Few of them do. I can think of many actors from TV shows that were really
hot but after the show was over, so was their career.
Kinda sad really because some of them would be fun to see again, the bunch
from Northern Exposure is a good example. I'd like to see some of them
doing other things but all I've noticed was Cynthia "Shelly" Geary in an
episode of the new Fantasy Island and "Chris" doing all those commercials.

barry corbin has been on drew carey and spin city a couple of times. he's
sporting absolutely no hair on his head these days and it actually took me a

i'm sure that the imdb could be a lot more help, but i can't seem to get it to
work today (it might be down?) so from memory, here is where i've seen a few of
the cast members lately:
darren burrows was in amistad and, although i didn't see it, a friend of mine
said she saw him on nypd blue last season.
john cullum is evidently on to have and to hold.
the man who played one who waits has been on dharma and greg, millienium and
was an important part of the xfiles a couple of seasons back.
and, ofcourse, there is always anthony edwards (er), teri polo (brimstone) and
adam arkin (chicago hope), but i don't really count them...well, at least not
the first two!:-)

It certainly was. I thought it got even better after Rob Morrow left the
show which surprised me. The scenes of him living off the land up in the
wilds of Alaska when he first went over the edge were terrific, but I never
really thought he was the biggest draw of the show. There were way too many
standouts in the cast for one person to be the "star".

Hey, it's always this way with celebs. Personally, I think we see them
in closeup on the big screen or on tv and so we just expect them to
appear larger in person. When in fact the scale factor makes them
usually very small people. A really big celebrity makes the scale look
weird when they stand next to everyone else who's a shortie...Hence
actors and actresses always seem small whereas a celeb that's a singer,
etc., doesn't have to fit that scale. Just my two cents. I had a guy
tell me a while back Marv Albert was about four feet tall with half of
his body being an extra large noggin' (celebrity heads are a whole
'nother topic);-) The only celebs that looked 'normal' to me in size
that I have met where Linda Evans and Jack Nicholson. Oh, and Randy
Quaid.

Nahh, he was the center of the show and it was a bore once he left.
The producers should have paid him when it became a hit -- instead of
yanking him around and forcing him out. It was a delicately balanced
show and he was the point about which it all revolved -- without him,
we just had a collection of fey eccentrics who soon wore out their
welcome.

Darren Burrows was Ed. He was my favorite too. I had a major crush on him
although he isn't as tall as I usually like 'em. His relationship with
RuthAnn was the most fun. I loved the episode where he told about her

Barry Corbin was Maurice Littlefield. A finer character is rarely seen in a
sitcom. He was a well-rounded, spoiled, megalomaniac but adorable
none-the-less.

I'm sorry, I think his name wasn't Maurice Littlefield, I think it was

I can't remember who played Holling but I will check the credits when I
watch it tomorrow night.

Maurice was indeed a memorable character. He could be an ass, but he
also could be the kindest human. That is what good writing is all
about....making multi-demensional characters who can't be pigeon
holed.
Barry Corbin is a wonderful actor. Unfortunately he has been sort of
type casted as a Maurice type. I watched filming one day on a scene
with just Barry and John Corbet (Chris in the Morning Stevens). Barry
really concentrates, almost getting into a zone, before and between
takes. John on the other hand is really causual...talking with the
grips in between takes...but then his character was a one note
character, and John is a one-note actor. He is gorgeous though. Even
more so in person than on film.
Janine Turner (Maggie) wasn't around that day, but I heard from others
who had also been on the set that she was even better looking in real
life. I do know that at the auction that took place after the show
ended, there were "Maggie's falsies" & "Joel's under ware" that were
included in the auction. ;-)

Even though Darren Burrows is part Indian, his real hair color is
blond. He dyed it for Northern Exposure.

He was Maurice Minnifield, not Littlefield. John Cullum played
Holling. John has been in a few guest spots, like playing Dr. Green's
(Anthony Edwards also the Bubble Boy on NO EX) father on ER. I saw
him in repeat of Law and Order today, which followed NO EX. He also
does theatre, especially musicals like Man of La Mancha.

There was gossip that for a while John Corbet (Chris) and Janine
Turner (Maggie) were doing the nasty! I guess that can count as
gossip. ;-) Also John Corbet had a couple of cats. I saw him once
near Pike Place Market, and he was trashed on something. More gossip!

I agree--the dramatic tension was gone
without Joel being a stranger in a strange
land. Also, I couldn't stand the way
they got rid of him with that mystical
NY apotheosis--that episode lost the
balance they usually had between
fantasy and reality.

Darren Burrow's hair is naturally a light brown (see Brian DePalma's
Casualites of War) . It was dyed black for the show and in some
episodes you can see the roots.

John Collum if someone hasn't mentioned already.
I wonder why the original poster didn't at least post this to

IMHO, I think NX became a bore in the 4th season. Having taken the
Emmy for best outstanding series, I guess everyone with the show just
got too smart for their own good.
The constant hankering with plots and characters was too much for
anyone's creative impulse. Frankly I'm surprised the show lasted
as long as it did.
Btw, what Rob Morrow up to this days? Haven't heard much about him
or the rest of the cast. Any info?

I don't think she had any particular star quality. It's like a journeyman
offensive lineman complaining that the quarterback is getting a lot more money,
and on top of that, a network announcing job after his career. Unless that
offensive lineman can do more than block adequately, he'd better make wise
investments and say nice things about his old buddy the QB when asked.

rarg replies: Well one former Walton cast member went on to financial security
as a VP (I think) at Chase Messenger. My husband worked there for awhile in the
early '90's. I can't remember which Walton was involved but I do know he was
happy in his work. Maybe the end of your 'fame' doesn't have to mean the end of
your happiness.

20 years later..... Antenna TV has posted an interview with de Witt, Barns, Harrison, and the guy who played Larry and Barns' face looks like a leather, face-shaped bag overstuffed with mashed potatoes. She looked so bad, I starting searching for news about her health and found this thread from '98. HA!
BTW, judging from her body language, she HATES Jenilee Harrison with a passion.
