Ben Stillers mom was in the movie , and Jada pinkett-smith was either in the movie or the TV show - memory is fading :lol
They also have made this into a broadway show, that I believe is still running. Nothing like milking it ....
Someone who was a regular on the TV show did die of AIDS but I can't remember who.
Odd that Leroy did nothing with his carreer after..
Sure you're not thinking of "Footloose"?Quote:
Flashdance starred Mr. 'six degrees of' Kevin Bacon
I liked Doris until she started singing, then she grated on me.Quote:

The only characters I wasn't too crazy about was Debbie Allen's, and Bruno, the angst-filled piano player.
What was her talent, I can't remember?
Oh Bruno, he had the weight of the world on his shoulders didn't he?
I hated that song he did about Mr Shorofsky (sp)
Sh sh sh Shorofsky.
Arrrgggghhhh!!!!!
Crap
Yes smack on the head for me ...Quote:

Flashdance was Jennifer Beals and Jehanne (sp?) + numerous other body doubles do the dance .:doh
My brains on vacation. :lol
On a fun note the people who actually DID the dancing for both movies were a couple in real life.
Geesh, you call yourself a fan and you don't remember?Quote:

She was.......ummmm........
God I have no idea, why was she there?? :confused:
:lol
:yay
I believe "Doris" was a singer.
Also, in addition to her acting parts in the film and TV show, Debbie Allen choreographed both.
I loved the film, liked the TV show most of the time and still listen to the film soundtrack. Really, what I wanted was to BE one of those kids and go to a performing arts school.
Actually, I don't think Doris had any talent at all, that I recall. She was billed by her mother as a singer in the opening but she really didn't sing. She actually spoke more than anything else. I believe her audition was The Way We Were. Very poorly done, too.
I watched the movie and the show. Loved them both. It was SO my generation. Totally looking forward to this one! WOO HOOO!
It was Doris Finsucker.Quote:

Why do I think it was Doris?
On the commercial for the show, there are about three men wearing that Leroy outfit while they danced - the one from his audition for the school where he was wearing that little red thing around his shoulders and the dazy dukes and not much else... I thought it was an amusing image... Hopefully, this show doesn't go out like All American Girl, which could have been a better show if ABC had treated it better without messing up the schedule, delaying, cancelling, etc., plus getting it preempted at least once due to coverage of Bush.
