Lauren Tewes was an unknown actress when she landed the role of Cruise Director Julie McCoy. She was fired from the show and replaced with Pat Klous in 1984 after a very public battle with cocaine addiction.



Lauren, 54, is now clean and sober and living in Seattle where she does regional theater and voice-overs.

When I was 13 or 14 I had a crush on Lauren Tewes. I see she's as beautiful now as she was then. :D

She looks great - and I'm glad she's been able to conquer her demons. :cool:
