Greetings,

I remember seeing this one braodcast as a kid. It was where Robert Stack was personally seen interviewing Jenny Pratt? He said something like, "How you doing Jenny?' and she said, "Pretty good."

That's what I remember from the braodcast (NBC, perhaps?). It was sad to see her talk when she was being interviewed after she got the board to her head. A heartless crime I must say.

Anyway, anyone remember....or have it on tape or DVD? I now have the other 90-minute special, where the childhood friends re-unite, thanks to crystaldawn.

Was it even a 90-minute special? I just remember Jenny sitting on a sofa and RS talking to her.

That was in the 3rd Anniversary special from I think 1990? It's the only episode I have on tape from the NBC days. :P Stack interviewed her and her parents, plus another former guest or two.

The whole special is good. I'm almost positive I've never seen any of the segments featured in it on Lifetime. I'm going home in a week or so, which is where the tape is...if I can figure out how, I can try and put it online.

And this is my first post. Hooray. :P

I wonder if Jenny has made more "progress" as the years have gone on. She seemed to be recovering at an extraordinary pace in the months following her accident. I know she'll never be the same as she was before but hopefully she has been able to pick up the pieces and try to make the best out of life.

I think I can handle it, though thanks for the offer. I have a bunch of stuff on tape I'd like to do something similar with.

And thanks for the welcome, too. :)

It was on a very early UM broadcast. She was riding with her boyfriend Curtis on a motorcycle when a pickup truck full of people came up behind them and hit her in the head with a board. Police think it was meant for Curtis do to various activities and possibly narcing he had been involved in. Jenny was injured critically and did recover although has sustained pretty severe brain damage. As far as we know they have never arrested anyone for the assault.

How sad. :( Do you know what happened to her boyfriend?

I don't think he was injured at all. He was interviewed in the segment. He really sort of came across as a jerk in it, in my opinion anyway.
