I didn't know until a grew up that she actually co-wrote Fawlty Towers with John Cleese! I always had a crush on her but didn't realize she was so talented as well

Can't believe know one has mentioned Glynis Barber from Dempsey & Makepeace, Phwoar!.

Have not seen this series since I was 10! All I remember is my sister fancied Michael Brandon. Just watched an episode on YT, blimey. :eek:

Seen mentions of Belinda Carlisle, the Heaven on Earth album is awesome, never realised her addictions were so bad. A very attractive woman, but by gum, had major demons and has come through.

Jenny Agutter, primarily in Logan's Run, 1976, (chebs out) but also in anything! Still, many, many years later, still have a thing for her.

Glynnis Barber fans look up "Jane". It was a short lived live action cartoon series based on a cartoon series from WW2. For some reason the characters clothes keep falling off!

Jenny Agutter. Still can't believe she made "walk about" less that a year after making"railway children" (one of my fave films ever).

Erin Grey & Pamela Hensley (Wilma Deering & Princess Ardala) from Buck Rogers.
