Favorite Classic TV Star for Nov 1st ERICA GIMPEL from FAME
Erica Gimpel took over for Irene Cara as Coco when Fame moved from the big screen to TV. Erica was one of the most talented actors on the show. She led most of the shows best music numbers. Erica went on to appear in The North and South mini serie's as well as Profiler. (Last two pics are from that era.) Erica deserved to be a huge star and hopefully will still find a role to push her past the role of Coco.

Erica singing in Fame. It always amazed me that Erica was not a huge star like Janet Jackson who also spent a couple of years on Fame. Erica certainly sang and danced the pants of Janet on the show.
Favorite Blast From The Past: November 1st John James
Although I was never a great fan of Dynasty (prefered Dallas and Knots Landings if watching Prime Time Soaps) I did enjoy Pamela Sue Martin and John James on Dynasty. Although she treated him badly, they were enjoyable to watch, especially when John James (As Jeff Colby) came out of the shower in a towel, which for some reason he often did before a big fight.
