BuzzFoto Blind Item
This aging actress from an old network sitcom, who played a mother figure is being accused behind the scenes of sleeping with at least two of the underage characters on the show (who are now adults). She allegedly carried on relationships with the boys and her sins might be revealed in a tell-all that is allegedly in the works.
Florence Henderson?
ReplyDeleteGo with the Flo!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was going to say, shiny, but I thought that might be too obvious. I highly doubt it was Shirley Jones, as she was married to David Cassidy's father at the time, and that would be almost incestuous.
ReplyDeleteI thought Florence was gay?
ReplyDeletePhylicia Rashad.
ReplyDeleteHa ha. JK. Theo and Cockroach WISH.
Florence has already admitted to Barry Williams...
ReplyDeleteNo idea but how about the mom from the Walton's, Michael Leanard (sp?).
ReplyDeleteYea I remember something about Flo and Barry going on a date when he was like 17 but that nothing happened and it was more like a "mother/ son thing"
ReplyDeleteFlorence Henderson was signing her memoir at BEA( Book Expo America ) last week in New York.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Charlotte Ray, from Facts of Life, though the idea makes me kind of cringe. MacKenzie Austin would have been underage, though not sure who another underage boy might have been. In any case, it says "Mother Figure" so I'm guessing it wasn't actually a Mom. For another guess, how about Sandy Duncan on the Hogan Family? (With either Jason Bateman or the kids who played the twins?)
ReplyDeleteFlorence is not gay...she is quite a drinker though especially lately, but you did not hear it from me. If this is Flo, this would be very salacious. I have a personal connection and would hopefully be afforded the fine details.
ReplyDeleteThe Mom from Home Improvement.
ReplyDeleteJune Cleaver and Wally and Eddie
ReplyDeleteunfortunately june cleaver has aged to the point of being deceased ;)
ReplyDeleteit must be all that crack you smoke, tempestuos grape. who in their right mind would discuss sleeping with UNDERAGE kids.
ReplyDeletethere's nothing salacious about this. it's sick. my vote is flo.
I was thinking Mrs. Cunningham from Happy Days.
ReplyDeletesalacious [səˈleɪʃəs]
ReplyDeleteadj
1. having an excessive interest in sex
2. (of books, magazines, etc.) erotic, bawdy, or lewd
[from Latin salax fond of leaping, from salīre to leap]
salaciously adv
salaciousness , salacity [səˈlæsɪtɪ]n
Many of us here at CDAN love your ass, Tempestuous Grape. Pay no mind to the haters and/or trolls.
Besides, we all know it's *weed* you smoke, not crack. :-)
^^^thanks, amoteafloat. i see that you are reving-up for the summer. great to know that we'll have the pleasure to read your long-winded posts. until someone takes a bite out of that ass, and you re-invent yourself again!
ReplyDeletethere's nothing salacious in having sex with an underage kid.
What about Britt Butler from Grace Under Fire?
ReplyDeleteI love the Marion Cunningham guess.
ReplyDeleteHow about the mom from Growing Pains?
ReplyDeleteThe underage kids would be: Leo DiCaprio, and Cameron. That would make an interesting read!
I thought of Charlotte Ray also. Wasn't a young George Clooney on that show?
ReplyDeleteLOL. You're precious, hell's kitty. We all await your sporadic attacks on random commenters for no reason with totally baited breath.
ReplyDeleteI've had, like, seven identities here. I've never denied it. I know I have a distinctive voice. You think that ALLLLL the people posting on CDAN haven't gone through other incarnations? And it's not to ~hide~ from people like you. It's simply because I get BORED. It's the same reason why I can't decide on a blog name -- I know I'll want to change it every couple of months. But I know all this is way too TL; DR for the likes of you and I'm just wasting my time.
Besides, "hell's kitty" is a fairly new name around here. Just sayin.'
Pick on me. I don't give a flying fuck. But what the hell has Tempestuous Grape ever said or done to you? All she does is post things that are either amusing or thought-provoking. Whereas you, darling, are just straight-up nasty, humorless, and BORING.
What about the Mom from Malcom in the Middle? SHe just got divorced, maybe her ex is writing a book.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe George was 17 or younger on the FOL. I could be wrong.
ReplyDelete...and it took "all of that" to say basically nothing? nastiness is served in hefty helpings here, when certain posters don't agree. i'm in good company!
ReplyDeleteI hope it IS Charlotte Rae. What sane man could resist such a sexy bun?
ReplyDeleteShe's WAY too classy for Clooney, though. He only likes gutterskanks.

ReplyDelete@hell's kitty - I hope you fall on an AIDS infected razorcock.
ReplyDeleteI really, really, REALLY want to say Shirley Jones...because I had a thing for her...but...what about the mom from Eight Is Enough?
and now I have to get a brain scrub because rattling around in my mind is a very strange orgy of middle-aged women with aprons, bee-hives leaning out their windows screaming "come and get it" to a yard full of teenage boys. blech!
ReplyDeleteIf you read it carefully, it says two of the underage characters, not underage actors. Therefore, they might have been young men but over the age of consent. I like the Marion Ross guess too.
ReplyDeleteNightmare Child that is BRILLIANT!
ReplyDeleteAnd i'm mostly talking about your guess! Whatsherface from 8 is enough wasn't the kid's Mom,she was the stepmom and some of those boys were like grown men.
hmm...i like it.
Just realized, I left out part of my thought above -- young men, playing highschoolers on the show would fit.
ReplyDeletei can totally see Willie Aames shopping a tell all with all his history on tv. I bet him and Abby and the older son...Michael? got it on.
ReplyDeleteApparently 1 wasn't enough.
@jbdean -- LOL. I was *just* flipping through the channels last night and caught Swoosie Kurtz on some show. Alex Halsey's still got some hustle!
ReplyDelete@bigmama -- I love that image, even though I know I'm not supposed to.
:-)
I'm thinking Peter Brady is trying to stay relevant...so now he's going to reveal how he and brother Greg...I can't even put it in writing...
ReplyDelete@jax - I almost shot a carrot out my nose on that one...brilliant!
ReplyDelete@Ida - remind me to tell you about my sister and barry williams sometime

ReplyDeletewhy read this site if shit like this bothers you?
ReplyDeletehad no idea about momma brady and greg. wow, that would have rocked the 60's.
when i think of that group i always think of the kids musical group, "I think I'll go for a walk outside now, the summer sun's calling my name" (chours) "I hear ya now".
I'm with Me, Ida and NC. Seriously. If you constantly have a problem with the content of a blog AND its commenters enough to say nasty shit to them, just fuck off. Heh. We should be so lucky.
ReplyDeleteTempestuous Grape - I hope you get some fine details, too! ;)
@jbdean -- "And since I know you have impeccable taste in TV shows..."
ReplyDeleteUh, well now, I wouldn't go THAT far. I mean, I *do* keep up with Khloe & Lamar. :-)
Um, and I've been known to watch Hoarders (that show is awesome background noise when you need some housecleaning inspiration). And Kitchen Nightmares. And any other show in which Gordon Ramsey throws implements and calls people donkeys, donuts, etc.
In short: I am many things, but highbrow ain't one of 'em!
But yes, you should totally watch Mad Men. And Friday Night Lights! I canNOT get over how good it is -- and the soundtrack is great, too.
I simply don't get how anyone here gets so into posting comments that hissing fights break out.
ReplyDeleteI love reading comments, especially guesses, but beyond that? Come ON.
@jbdead79 - You mean Step By Step? I can't see Suzanne Sommers getting down like that. Besides, have you seen some of the girls on the show nowadays? OH MY STARS & GARTERS.
ReplyDeletethanks! and i KNOW your death won't be a kind sight either!
ReplyDeleteseems that some need to take their advice from yesterday about using the little wheel in their mouse to scroll past comments!
"old network sitcom" I don't think Eight is Enough was sitcom - it was an hour long drama really.
ReplyDeleteI'm going with the mom on Home Improvement.
Ida is right, Friday Night Lights is a great show!!
ReplyDeleteWell I could totally see Abby from 8 hooking up with Grant Goodeve. If it was just the underage boys it might explain why Adam Rich was so messed up.
ReplyDeleteOh, I must have forgotten ---Ralph Macchio was on this as Abby's nephew.
Ann B. Davis, you hoooah! Kidding. It says "mother figure" not mother.
ReplyDeleteSince apparently my girl June Cleaver has gone to that great sitcom in the sky, I like the Eight is Enough guess.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte Rae from The Facts Of Life?
ReplyDeleteNell Carter?
ReplyDeleteNell Carter and the Lawrence brothers
ReplyDelete@hell's kitty - Last time I'm going to say something to you, so listen up and listen good. Shut the fuck up and fuck off back to whatever cum encrusted mattress you slithered off of. No one wants you around. If you can't contribute a comment, kindly take your pustule ridden ass somewhere else. If you don't, I will cut your fucking throat and shit in the wound. If you want to persist & stick around, that's your call...but just know that every time I see you commenting, I will gnaw on you like a chew-toy. Now FUCK OFF.
ReplyDeleteAnd the thought of Nell Carter and.....*shudders*....oh god, I'm gonna be sick.
@Nightmare Child -- you, Sir, are a wordsmith. And remind me never to get on your bad side. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHey! Nell Carter is hot! Gimme a break! (har har) You don't have to worry about her being the answer to this blind, though. She stopped "aging" when she died eight years ago.
Hey, just to throw another idea out there how about Mrs. Walsh from OG 90210? She was a mother figure to all of the 30 year old high school kids! Or would that have not been considered a "network" show at the time?
ReplyDelete@Ida - Naaah. You're way more erudite than I am. I'm just insane and very vulgar. I'm from the Steve Albini School Of Insults.
ReplyDeleteNell Carter has also aged to the point of being deceased tragically if memory serves.
ReplyDeleteellapetal, I was going to say I liked that guess, but weren't all the 90210 kids at least in their mid-20s? I seem to remember that Tori Spelling was the only one even close to playing her age. Although, I guess it could've been the mom and David Silver. EWWWW!
ReplyDeletethis grosses me out but Cloris Leachman took over for Charlotte Rae and Mack Astin was a bit older by then.
ReplyDeleteStill think it's 8 is Enough though.
@Mooshki Oh ewwww on that would be right, but I was thinking that maybe the actors themselves weren't underage just because of the wording - it says the character is underage. I could be completely misunderstanding the blind though. I'm feeling extra slow today! LOL. And it does say that they are adults NOW so...oh well pooh.
ReplyDeleteBack to the drawing board!
I think it's Flo, because of all the press Christopher Knight is getting lately. These things seemed to be timed.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! Brett Butler was on some major pills during Grace Under Fire. I think there was some talk of her being indecent around one of the kids.
ReplyDeleteMeredith Baxter on the Facts of Life?
ReplyDelete@Virtual - Meredith Baxter was on Family Ties. Sha-la-la-laaa.
ReplyDelete@NCHILD - Damn, dude. Here's hoping I never piss you off. LoL.
**Tip-toeing in and trying to avoid the slinging arrows**
ReplyDeleteThe Peter Brady divorce and, therefore, impending book to stay relevant does make you think that it's going to be Florence Henderson with Greg and Peter.
BUT... the Patricia Richards guess from Home Improvement is really interesting. I just think the "mother figure" phrase is intentional and that would make Mrs. Brady as the step-mom more likely.
I'll throw 2 names in the ring:
ReplyDelete1)Roseanne - was she doing DJ AND the guy from the big bang theory?!!
2)Felicia Rashad - the victims: theo and cocroach!
I immediately thought of Flo, but I think that is way too easy. I'm really liking the 8 is Enough guess.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have one more, because I'm obsessed with this blind. What about Erin Gray on Silver Spoons, with Rick Schroeder and Alfonso Ribero?
ReplyDeletewhat abt kitty from that 70s show?
ReplyDeleteor the original mom from fresh prince maybe thats the real reason she left
ReplyDeleteHi. While I like the "8 is Enuf" guess as much as anyone, the word in NY on the Theatre circuit is that Betty Buckley (who played Abby) would not have any interest in any of the boys on the show whatsoever. (think about it)
ReplyDeleteI like the Grace Under Fire guess. The behind the scenes turmoil on that show have been exposed and documented over the years, so this sounds plausible.
Lori, I could totally see that one. She was youngish and beautiful, so you can see why the boys would go along with that.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI love the Eight is Enough guess too esp since Grant Goodeve was hot and well into adulthood when he was on the show. I also agree with above, I cant see this of Betty Buckley.
ReplyDeleteThe chances are much better this was some short lived show none of us remembers and the tell all will stay well under the radar.
@ Nightmare Child "Steve Albini School of Insults" is even more frightening than any of your threats. Brilliant, but frightening. Trust.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's Brett Butler, because even with all the shit she pulled on that show, I doubt she had any opportunity to do anything this horrible. The first kid who played her oldest son (at maybe 12 or so years old?) quit the show after she flashed him her new boob job. The new actor they hired to replace him as her oldest son was around 18 and thus (probably) not underage. The only other boy on the shoe was played by twins Dylan and Cole Sprouse, who would have been about three years old when this went down.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, Charlotte Rae was also my first guess (followed by Nell Carter!), although I don't remember any other underage boys on the show except the Astin kid. Does Jo count? ;)
Ooh ooh ooh -- Suzanne Somers in "Step by Step"?????
ReplyDeleteok, i'm just going out on a limb, I know Mackenzie Phillips didn't play a mother figure on ODaaT but she did on another show, didn't she?
ReplyDeletewhat show was that? and who are the boys? and did she sleep with them? hahaha i kinda hope its her, but i don't think she'd even hide that shit.
so booooo idk.
NO MRS CUNNINGHAM! NO!!!

ReplyDeleteand nightmare child, let me know your suicide date. you life-long fuck up!! you'll never get it right until you hang. i pray that you have no offsprings because they want have a chance in life. a black woman's kids (or any woman's kids for that matter) don't need you in their life. creep.
ReplyDeleteshould be offspring and won't
ReplyDeleteLOL! For some reason, I find it hilarious how she felt the need to edit that comment.
ReplyDeleteyour mother called and said she wished you were aborted.
ReplyDeleteit's totally Mrs. Keaton with Alex and Skippy :D
ReplyDelete@pwner -- I like your style, but I'd say Mrs. Keaton would have been more likely to go for Mallory or Jennifer. :-)
ReplyDelete@Train in Vain (great Clash song, btw) - Want to know what's REALLY scary? Steve and I have the SAME birthday. Hehehehehe...
ReplyDelete@Nightmare Child -- I KNEW you were a Cancer. I. KNEW. IT. You barely made the cut-off, but I knew it, I knew it, I KNEW IT.
ReplyDeleteThe best people are July babies, you know. ;-)
Ida - I believe I owe you $5 and a good hour of my time where I promise to let you convince me re: astrology.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of hell's kitty as a chew toy. Very much.
rq, only if you tell your dad i said hello! i'm sure he's better off without having to look at your fug face.
ReplyDeleteAll together now: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!
ReplyDeleteI have *seriously* overheard better taunts on an elementary school playground. Sorry doll, but when children are more effective at being mean, then you need to step up your game. Or just give up entirely.
What's YOUR sign, hell's kitty? Cuntricorn? Bitchittarius?
how's your blog coming along? oh that's right, you are always on here with long-winded posts. so you don't have the time for your "blog in your head".
ReplyDeleteyour sign would be white trash redneck!
Again: laaaaaaaaame.
ReplyDeleteYou aren't even entertaining me anymore. It WAS fun to chuckle at your expense, but now I'm just yawning.
I know you're begging for scraps, but I think I'm done feeding trolls. Stand under your bridge and holler all you want. I've already spent too much time responding to you.
Ciao!
ha ha. tee hee. i knew that would do it. have a good day!
ReplyDelete@Ida - Oh, I am a textbook Cancer-Leo cusp kid. Anything you read about them...pretty much applies to me. And yes, people born in July are made of WIN and AWESOME.
ReplyDelete@Ida: true, true....although perhaps she was just overcompensating cuz she was in the closet :D
ReplyDeletedammit, i had an idea again, but then all the flame wars got me distracted.
ReplyDeleteoh, Sandy Duncan on what was the Valerie Harper show. OR Valerie Harper? idk idk idk
that'd be funny if it were the chick from oklahoma though and the partridge family. I'm sure Bonaduce would have said something on his show though.
Charlotte Rae/Mrs Garrett started out on Diff'rent Strokes...a mother figure to both Willis and Arnold.
ReplyDeleteThe Nanny?
ReplyDeleteI can't stand flaming in the comments, which is why this is usually a nice, fun site to read. However, this is OUT OF CONTROL. Telling someone they should have been aborted is awful enough, but making fun of a person's parent's suicide (and implying that the suicide was the child's fault) is absolutely atrocious.
ReplyDeleteIn case you decide to delete your more vile comments, I'll save everyone else the time spent looking for them and reproduce them here:
"hell's kitty said...
rq, only if you tell your dad i said hello! i'm sure he's better off without having to look at your fug face."
You deserve to be banned, "hell's kitty" (or chihuahuablah, or whoever else you are this week), but I guess that's why you have so many aliases. Honestly, how can you live with yourself--as a woman, as a mother, as a HUMAN BEING--knowing that you have no problem spewing such revolting hatred against people you don't even know? Disagreeing with someone's opinion about FUCKING CELEBRITY GOSSIP is one thing, but attacking anybody personally, and on such a low, mean, and downright disgusting level, is completely unwarranted.
Really, there are lines that you just do not cross. But not only do you cross those lines, you are positively joyful at the idea that you "won" a flame war simply because someone decided to no longer engage you. I'm not saying that hurtful things weren't said to you, because they definitely were, but making jokes about suicide is lower than I thought it was possible for decent human beings to go. Please consider the power of your words to hurt or to help others, because you have to make a decision about what kind of person you want to be every single day. Which will you choose: compassionate and empathetic, or cruel and despicable?
I apologize to everyone else for the essay. I just can't take this garbage anymore.
all of you lonely worthless low life should have been aborted
