In episode 1-11, we saw Cindy (Julie Anne Haddock) perform some gymnastics, including a backflip. So far as I know, this was the only backflip seen on the series, but I could be wrong!

Is anybody aware of Julie Anne doing gymnastics outside of FOL? Say, on Boone, or other TV shows? It makes me wonder if this was something the writers scripted, and then she had to learn, or if she already knew how to do backflips, and the writers wrote it in, like Felice's love of Baryshnikov, Julie being from the Midwest, Natalie's being Jewish, or Molly's love of music.

Idk, maybe they could've trained her to do a flip on the show

They certainly could have.

I thought I heard/read somewhere that she was already a gymnast? Because I remember then thinking, "It's a shame they didn't showcase that on the show more".

And I'm pretty sure that was the only backflip on there ever.

I don't remember ever reading/hearing that, so if you can find info, I'd love to read more!

And you are right: they should have showcased more of that, and Cindy in general.

Actually, now that I think about it, I think it was you! :lol: Am I mis-remembering?? :confused: I thought you said Julie Anne was a gymnast.

Well, I just did Mr. Gideon's FACT routine, and it looks it wasn't you after all---or anyone on here!

??? I did say she did some gymnastics on the show, but...

Yup, I was mis-remembering; it doesn't just happen to actors! :lol:

Oh, understood! Yes, I've been there myself!

Julie Ann must have had some kind of training off show. This is something that you can't teach overnight.

I suspect as much, as well. I just wish we had proof. An Instagram photo with Julie Anne saying, "Here's me at the 1978 LA gymnastics meet, with..." would be perfect, right now!

Maybe Julie feels gymnastics are too girly. She doesn't post much, but we do see her playing boy sports like baseball and just like Cindy.
