I didn't know that until now . . .

[disco1999]

E.G. Daily (Say it, say it / Mind over matter 1985)
was featuring as PeeWee Herman's "girlfriend" in his biggest movie:
Peewee's big adventure

did you know ? I didn't! 8)

Sure, I knew it. E.G. (Elizabeth) was hottt for a few minutes back in the 1980's. I always thought Cyndi Lauper coulda/woulda/shoulda been Pee Wee's GF. :cry:

E.G. was also the girlfriend of Jon-Erik Hexum when he blew his brains out on the TV set. (Now my assistant tells me that Jon-Erik was GAY!!!! Who knew???)

Today Elizabeth is the voice of one of the Rugrats. :roll:

I didn't know E.G. was either's girlfriend. I also didn't know Jon-Erik was gay. I wished :) , but I didn't know. Maybe that's why he was so comfortable playing the gay model first time he put his face (and that body) on the t.v. screen. Sad story to lose your life so young, especially when it seemed like it was just starting to fall into place.

Well, Nicky...

I am only repeating what my assistant told me when I asked about Jon-Erik. Strangely, the assistant knew Jon-Erik in college in Michigan and actually roomed with him for a few months. Later he met up with him out here. Only after Jon-Erik died was he told by others that Jon-Erik was gay. He does recall J-E having a male "roommate".

So whether this is true or just "wishful thinking" I'm not sure. :roll:

Marky,

One more question about Jon-Erik:

Do you or your asistant know if his parents or attorneys ever allowed any of his work to be released? Was that t.v. show the only thing he had done?

[markydefad]

Nicky,

I'm told he did a series called "Voyagers"; a MOW called "The Making Of A Male Model" with Miss Joan Collins; a FF with Gary Busey called "The Bear" (about Bear Bryant, a football coach); and that last series "Cover-up" with Jennifer O'Neil.

Ironically, J-E was replaced on "Cover-up" by Antony (Tony) Hamilton, an Australian who came to prominence playing Samson in a 1984 mini version of "Samson & Delilah". Now Mr. Hamilton was reeeeeaaaly GAY. I know several stories about his "indiscretions"-- NOT for the squeamish. Sadly, he died a few years ago also. :cry:

Thanks, Marky. I'll see if I can find the football flick. I remember Hamilton... hated the show when he took over. He had no sense of humor. Didn't know he had passed away. I think the last thing I saw him in was a walk-on in Whoopi Goldbergs "Jumpin' Jack Flash". I always wondered if he had done the voice-over for the movie as it sounded like him talking via the computer.
