More on Lori

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0521753

Lori was my all - time favorite actress to follow, growing up as a young girl in the US. She was versatile, and her friendly nature and friend next door appeal was positive to girls at the time. I did watch "Full House" and at first didn't recognize her right away. I think it had to do with me being nine or ten years old and not knowing her real name. I didn't read credits at the time, opening or ending credits on the EON. When I first recognized her personality and her bubbly nature, and then her looks matched that of the younger "Jody" that she had played long ago.

The best thing about seeing Lori on television was that I learned to appreciate versatility. She was perfecting the craft of acting in various ways in different settings. Then I wasn't so sad the show had ended, because I would see a familiar face from the past. Basically, it wasn't the end of the world when you lost a favorite show. There were other shows in the future. I also started to add up that the programs ending always weren't a negative thing. It gave the actors and actresses a chance to obtain employment elsewhere and try out for other roles.

They didn't have trading cards of her like they did with the women on "Charlie's Angels," but she was still a heroine in my eyes. We grew up with her as a teen, and then watched her mature to the wonderful person she is today. I think I needed valuable role models like her when I first came to America, although for me as a latch - key kid, they were all on television at first. Teachers and best friends were the ones we relied on outside the home.

Sometimes, I take offense at people saying people we used to watch on tv are "old" or "has - beens" like they tried to do to "Lois Lane" who is now on "Desperate Housewives." I also hate that they tried to make them look hot and sexy like they have no other appeal besides that. It's like people can't see past the bodies or looks to appreciate endurance, industriousness, talent, and other qualities about a person, but then I think that is how they try to hype up a person's career.

Lori will never be old or a has been to her true fans. Those who never knew her will never see her in her fledgling days, except once in a great while, on You Tube or other capsules of time. I think paparazzi can learn a great deal if they look at a person like a person instead of only a photo or a part of a body. They would stop the advertising and the name - calling, then.


The first introduction of Jody, before we knew anything about her:

(including the theme song, btw)

From then on, "Jody" was a fascinating character to watch. We learned from the mistakes she made and applauded her for her successes.

That character was a classic!
