Hi R.W.... Remember the character that Brooke Shields played? The one
that couldn't tell the difference between real life and television? Look
into it.

I'm sorry - did you say "nice"? Lemme refresh your memory:
Chandler: "Okay, Pure Evil -- horny and alone. I've done *this*."
Chandler's funny, and he's a kick to be around, but the guy spends too
much time trying to get laid than is good for him. :)

Holy crap... Is this irony? I really hope you're trying to make some sort of
joke about Brooke Shields' character.

Uh...yeah...hello? Julia Roberts didn't actually do that to Chandler...she
*played a character* who did that to Chandler. And no, I can't see Sandra
Bullock stabbing Matthew Perry in the back like that because:
1) They undoubtedly did not go to fourth grade together.
2) He most likely has never lifted her skirt so the world could see her
"underpants".
3) Sandra Bullock and Matthew Perry are real people and don't have scripts
to follow when living day to day.

I totally agree. Poor Chandler. It's like, "Hello, Susie, this is the real
world calling. Please get on with your life." And Sandra Bullock couldn't
even *have* a part written for her in which she would do something like
that, because so far, IMHO, that's totally not something believable.
PS on the real life thing with Perry and Roberts, I think that should get
kicked to the curb and Bullock should step in as a knight in shining armor.
Too bad she already has a boyfriend, but you never know what the future will
bring.

Are you sure about this? I'm pretty sure no one could act the way these
people act. I always thought it was some sort of "secret video" type thing.
Well, so much for that. I just hope they don't take that hidden camera

Please remember it's a television show and she was acting - I thought it
was a great plot twist. It wasn't Julia Roberts being mean to Matthew
Perry - it the character she was playing who got Chandler (the character).

inevitable that Michael J. Fox should show up to confront both Lea Thompson
and Courtney Cox due to their previous associations (and for you pre-Gen X
millenial generation tykes out there, Courtney Cox played Michael J. Fox's
girlfriend on Family Ties, and Lea Thompson <who I believe is actually a few
years younger than Fox> played his mother in the Back To The Future movies.)
It might even make a great wraparound episode where Caroline and Monica do
cross overs to each other's shows and Fox could play a guy who is playing both
of them.

Lea Thompson actually played Marty McFly's (Fox) girlfriend Jennifer in
the Back To The Future movies. She played his mother in 1955, if I
remember correctly.

Sigh...no, Elizabeth Shue was Jennifer in the last two films. A different
actress played her in the first film. Lea Thompson was Marty's mom in all
three films, and she also played one of Marty's ancestors. Lots of inbreeding
in the McFly family...

know about Back to The Future movies but...Elizabeth Shue
played Jennifer in the second and third movies. After the first
one was such a big hit, they got a star to play Jennifer and
replaced the actress that played her in the first movie (I

No....she played his mother in 1985, and his mother in 1955. His
girlfriend was actually played by two different women, neither of them Lea
Thompson.

I think the poster may have gotten a little too into Brooke Shields'
character. You know, the one who couldn't distinguish TV from real life.
Maybe Julia Roberts shouldn't have played that hooker in "Pretty Woman",
as the audience might think she's a slut. Uh, bad example. Never mind.

The guy who played Phoebe's gay/straight husband looked amazingly like

It has a double-meaning. That's what makes Billy-boy so much fun to read.

No, that's not quite right. She played Lorraine, Marty's mother, in 1955
(I and II), 1985 (all three), and 2015 (II only). She also played
another McFly in 1885 (with Fox as her husband) in Part III. (In II and
III, Fox played several McFlys.)
I don't know who played Jennifer in Part I, but Elisabeth Shue did in II
and III.
What I'd like to see is for Fox to play the same character on both
Friends and Caroline.

actually dually protrayed by Patty Duke. During the first 3 seasons
of Family Affair they were referred to as cousins (not siblings) and Mr. French

Well, you're almost right. Lea Thompson did not play Marty's girlfriend
in any of the movies (that was some random chick and then Elisabeth
Shue). Lea played his mother, in heavy makeup during the 1985 segments,
and as a teenager who had a crush on marty (her own son) in the 1955 segment.

Andrew Harris
The reason being is that I was in the alt.tv.wings ng and David Lee one
of the producers was an active member to the group until we started
posting story ideas. He had to leave because of leagal reasons. If a
story idea was posted and then used in a episode it could get pretty ugly
(if you know what I mean). So use your own judgement. I am not trying
to preach. I just do not what to see anyone getting mad.

"""I, for one thought that the actor playing Phoebe's husband did resemble
MJF but i don't see a reason that MJF needs to be bashed. It appears
that he isn't particularly liked by the previous poster and I would say
a lot of people agree. However the teenage yuppie fans of the early
80's loved this stuff. I for one, really had a {thing} for MJF and of
course i was in high school then--NOW a lot has changed and i don't think
he is a GREAT actor, he does have potential. I think he is funny--
and COULD be a great serious dramatic actor.
As for the previous poster--hey--lighten up on the guy will ya? :)

Johnny is working in a temp agency acording to one of the "Where are they

Oh, I watched part of that, too. It *was* annoying. Talk about a stupid
show. Matt LeBlanc's Coca-Cola commercial was cool, though. Unfortunately
I only realized that the show was on ABC at 8:39, and I missed Jennifer's
spot. Rats! (That's the only reason I watched the dumb thing in the first
place.)

Argh! No!
YES, Lea Thompson played Marty McFly (Fox's character) mother in all
incarnations of the Back to the Future films, but Elizabeth Shue only
took over the role of Marty's girlfriend, Jennifer, in the two sequels.
The actress who played Jennifer in the original Back to the Future was,
I believe, Claudia Wells.
I'm not sure why Claudia wasn't chosen to continue her role in the other
films, but RUMOUR has it that she was in trouble with drugs, but granted
that was only a rumour.

he's DAMN funny. I'm so sick of comments like he's unattractive or he's
short or all this crap. It seems the only reason he gets denied roles IS
because he is a short guy who has a youthful appearance. I sort of look
like him and know how it feels to have people tell you look like a kid etc.
etc. You people are judging him by the look of atv show where everyone is
like in the GQ style. That's what so screwed up about this world. It's
people who have to insult others because of looks. MJF seems like a really
nice person even if he hasn't had that much movie success. Don't alienate
him because he's not a pretty boy.
Well, at least Michael J. Fox will look about 37 when he's 50 or so while
you all will be complaining about YOUR looks ha ha!! Try not to be so
cruel. Danny DeVito once had people telling himhe was ugly and would never
be an actor because of his height. Why don't you phonies get a clue!!!

Too late. The programming wizards have already snapped up these ideas.
Michael J. Fox has been approached to make a duel guest shot next May on
BOTH Fiends and Caroline. He'll play Dennis, a deranged drifter who
takes a liking to Courtney Cox's character. His advances become so
disturbing that she flees to her friend Caroline's apartment to hide
out. Dennis follows and terroizes both ladies, before being subdued by a
falling Pez dispenser -- there's talk of a Seinfeld crossover as well.
The episode is supposed to be both light-hearted and informative, warning
all of the dangers of deranged loners in coffee shops.

Yeah, but MJF played his own father & ancestors (part of the time), so you

I can't pass this one up. Family Affair aired in the late 1960's, and I watched it and
hated it then. One of the two "kids" died in the 70's of a drug overdose. That would make
Back to the Future a true life zombie movie. Hamlet, get thee to a nunnery to study

Actually, Lea played his mother in the present, and when he went "back",
she was younger and "liked" him. His presence almost kept his parents
from falling for each other. While Lea was Marty's age for much of the
movie, it's because he spent the movie in the 50,s when his mother was
his age.
Jennifer was someone else entirely!

I hate to quibble, but I was an extra on that show and remember Michael
very well. I didn't get along with Lea quite as well, but since then,
we've put our differences aside and were even married for a few years back

My problem with "Before They Were Stars" is that most of the people shown
aren't what I would consider stars and never were. Yes, a few might
qualify as minor stars, and I think about three are no question, but
the rest?
I was hoping to see stuff like Dustin Hoffman's Volkswagen commercial,
or Dr. Joyce Brother's appearance on "You Bet Your Life" when she was
