That's right, and Michael and Helaine's father, Harvey Lembeck, was in many of the "beach" movies from the 60s.

She was on Kotter for 2 years and went on to appear on Magic Mongo on the Kroft Super Show. She played Lorraine and she was funnier and she showed off her hotness in that one. I liked her in that one more than Kotter.

The "Rue - Ells" word she said was so funny. I also liked Travolta's joke about "Moby Dick". I just got the DVDs and saw the episode when she tutors Travolta and love the back and forth insults they hurled. I still love that show 37 years after I watched it when it was new. Takes me back in time and I laugh so much watching it. :happyface

I wonder if she and John ever dated in real life.Maybe she could shed some insight into Travolta's recent supposed transgressions.
