Madolyn looked just like my wife when my then girlfriend was in her late teens and early 20’s with the exception of her eyed being brown an not hazel in color.
La conocí junto a Tom Berenger en “If tomorrow comes” y amé esa parejaen mi historia preferida de Sidney Sheldon. Lamentablemente en mi país esa miniserie sólo se televisó en el año 1987 y nunca más la pude ver en tv. A partir de ahí seguí la carrera de Tom Berenger y de a ratos la de Madolyn Smith.
Quise escribir “lamentablemente en mi país esa miniserie se televisó en el año…”
Born in 73 I was 7 years old when I saw Urban Cowboy at the Starlight drive-in with my parents & sisters. 10 minutes into it I remember asking how long was this boring movie & looking for something anything else to pass the time. Stuck in a car I had no choice but to watch. Then suddenly there she was Pam who’s daddy is in banking. Omg the feathered hair & cowboy hat..From that moment on she was my crush so you could imagine at 7 how many “dreams” she triggered lol.. to me she will always be the sexiest woman I’ve ever seen.. you know the 1st always stays w/ya. Anyway I wish her & her family health happiness & longevity.
