I thought undercover agents were supposed to be nondescript? But she'll be a lot better than who she replaced.

[Robin Miller]

Did she replace someone? I don't remember any of the cast leaving.

Hard for me to believe too. Well, if she sees ghosts or has supposedly
psychic powers, that will be it for me and "Criminal Minds". :(

Love's older than Lola was.

Will she be using her ability to see and talk to ghosts to solve the
crimes?

Michael

[Michael Black]

Actually, they say showing something obvious helps to make the rest
invisible. So if you put on a big nose, people will only remember the
nose. If you walk differently, people will remember the walk, not the rst
of the person.

So people will be looking at her breasts, and never notice anything else,
how more non-descript can you get?

Jeanne Triplehorn, who replaced the long running black haired actress, who
in turn replaced the actress who was there in the early days.

I really wish that TV people would get it through their heads that
really attractive, pretty, hot women make horrible undercover cops.

I'm guessing they are trying to find a way to end the show. JLH just
isn't a good fit for this show.

[anim8rFSK]

In article <atropos-97CAB0...@news-europe.giganews.com>,

I don't even understand why undercover experience would be of value to a
profiling team.

[Michael Black]

She did stellar work, it doesn't have to be her undercover ability.

Maybe she was good at reading things, while being undercover, and the team
wants that ability to talk to ghosts.

What's that got to do with Hewitt? I don't think I've ever found her
terribly attractive. Personal taste I suppose ;-)

Do you mean Byrds of Paradise? That seems the most likely candidate from
IMDB. I have to say I've never heard of it. That show didn't even cross
my radar when it was on. I'm not finding many pictures from that show
either so I'll just take your word for it that she was hot in those days ;-)

Yeah, that was it. She was like 14 and had the same figure she'd have
as an adult and ran around in bikinis.

She also replaced Vinessa Shaw after pilot on "McKenna" around that same

Did you just referred to a kid as "hot"?

It's another example of the Playboy thing I talked about in the past.
The one where Old Me would see favorite old playmate shots from the
1980s and wonder if I should feel pervy looking at the young models,
even though I was their age then (and we were all legal) and they're my
age now. The fact that I feel weird enough about that should make it
come as no surprise that I'm in no hurry to add 14-year-olds to the
equation. :)

The boobs are fully grown, sure. Her hips aren't quite womanly yet, but
clearly curvy.

With respect to Jennifer Love Hewitt, I think Benny Hill said it best.

[Michael Black]

"The Byrds of Paradise".

Wow, I watched that, hadn't even realized it was her. I thought she got
her start with "Party of Five", but obviously the Hawaii show came first.

It was a great show. Timothy Busfield as a widower who moves to Hawaii, I
think because the mother had just died and it was too hard to live in the
old place.

The nice Hawaiian fellow teacher, Arlo Guthrie as an adult learner, and of
course, Hawaii.

I saw Arlo Guthrie in 1996, and he mentioned the show for some reason, and
I made some noise, and he said something like "and that's why the show is
no longer on", as if I was one of the few viewers.

She started at 10 or 11 on a kids' song and dance show, "Kids
Incorporated." Billed as "Love Hewitt."

Remarkably successful career for someone coming up that route.

[Ian J. Ball]

She and Alyssa Milano both.

By any objective account, I'm not sure either of them should still be
working, and yet here we are!!...

Wouldn't Selena Gomez or Semi Lovato mentions be appropriate here?

It's too soon for them. Hewitt was on Kids Incorporated the year before
either of them was born, and Milano had been acting professionally for
almost a decade.

They all started their careers in their teens, though. But it's still
too early to tell whether the newcomers will have the same staying power.

The real "grande dame" of child actresses doing well is Drew Barrymore,
and she managed to do it despite having a very reckless period in her
teens.

[Bill Steele]

And Hewitt managed to come up from just being one member of a chorus.

Probably no worse than previous Barrymores, IIRC. But that name, the
family traditions, and the genes, must have been a big help.

[Dimensional Traveler]

Not to mention the family connections.

You shouldn't forget Sarah Michelle Gellar. She got a very early start
and is still acting professionally.

[Ian J. Ball]

In article <tdrpr9pgmu7445597...@4ax.com>,

Well, crap - if we're going that route, then someone's gonna have to
mention Hayden Panitierre...

[Michael Black]

And yet, other than we know she's a Barrymore, I don't remember that being
played up. I see no indication that she's gotten a free pass because of
her last name.

INterestingly, I was in a bookstore yesterday and there's a one-shot
magazine there about child stars. "Whatever became of..." and lots of
people mentioned. I already forget who, but someone else that turned out
to have a decent career started out on "Kids Incorporated".

Michael

[Michael Black]

But Drew was 7 years old when ET was released, and kept getting roles. She
seemed to stumble for a while, but nobody thinks of her now as a "kid
actor". So many don't make the transition to being an older actor.

Besides, when she was in "ET", it was a big entrance. Everyone remembers
her from that, while unless someone was on a popular tv show as a child,
they may not be remembered for their first role.

Ron Howard may take the cake on the male side. He was six when he started
with The Andy Griffith Show, and pretty much has stayed working ever
since. Happy Days was a success, when many don't get a second successful
tv show, and then he "disappeared" behind the camera, making endless
movies that have been very successful.

Taking a quick look, Fergie, Mario Lopez.

[Michael Black]

It was Fergie I noticed. I was surprised, I'd never heard of anything
about her before the Black Eyed Peas. So many of the recent wave have
come from somewhere, not that I knew about them at the time. All those
Disney stars (and I'm talking long after Kurt Russell).

Michael

[Dimensional Traveler]

You wouldn't, that's the whole point of those kinds of connections.
They operate behind the scenes and out of sight. You can't have the
people you just fucked over knowing it was because the guy you worked
with 30 years ago asked you to return a favor and give his relative the job.

[shawn]

While SMG didn't get the huge opening role that Drew got she did start
at age 6 in "An Invasion of Privacy" in 1983. ;)

I remember her for "Firestarter."

Yes, Ron has been amazingly successful behind the camera. I doubt
anyone would have guessed that as many actors move behind the camera
as they age but have only modest success.

It's a natural progression in the industry. The catch is that there are
a lot fewer directors than actors, so not every actor can take that
path. Not every reporter gets to be managing editor. Not every Senator
gets to be president.

The other actors, of course, can become producers or agents or
something, or just invest their money in California real estate and
retire. I suspect the ones who become successful directors have always
had that interest and pursued it dilligently. That fits what I've heard
about Ron Howard.
