We can share these in the documentary thread and the "vintage pictures" thread, but just having finally seen it (thank you Retro!!) I thought it'd be fun to have a thread for photos from it. :)

And we start off with...

Where Julie Anne goes to become Eastland's favorite tomboy, and then, voila---she's Cindy Webster! :)

How cool that and Julie share a dressing room with Mindy and Kim---they paired the sets of "besties" up for a dressing room!

I wonder if this means Lisa, Felice, and Molly shared a dressing room?

I wonder if Natalie is wearing a "Gone With the Wind" sweater, or what that is?

:rofl:

Yes, I was! Thanks to this whole documentary bonanza (of which I was listening to playing on another tab while I was composing my big long response, lol) I was still up at that point. I had just gotten out of the shower. I didn't wanna take a shower at 3:50 a.m., lol, and I would have skipped it, but I had gone out for a nature walk in the evening so needed to shower to get all the "nature" off before bed. :lol:

(right now my evening nature walks are the biggest "events" I have going on!)

What is incredible about this photo is that we get brand new info just from a photo. Julie Anne, Julie Pie, Mindy, and Kim SHARED A DRESSING ROOM!

And how apropos, considering Tootie and Natalie shared a room that first season, as did Cindy and Sue Ann for part of the first season, as well as the second. How cool is THAT!!!!???

I wonder if this photo was taken at the infamous Denny's?

Also, who are the two boys and the extra girl?

Aw, thanks valentina :) All I did was just pause and grab! lol

Ah, true, I thought of the besties angle, but not the roommates one. But I think it's safe to say Cindy and Sue Ann roomed together all their years at Eastland. :cheers:

I did too! (and do!)


Also, who are the two boys and the extra girl?

Well, the "girl" looks like a full-fledged grown up lady-woman to me! I wonder if she's a mom??

The girl sitting is one of Felice's sister. She was the one in Little Darlings. Don't know who the boy is by Julie Ann. Perhaps her brother.

...hopefully, not in the basement. :lol:

Could be Felice's mom (Mindy's manager), now that you mention it. They have a similar look. There are photos online with Felice's mom and sisters, so we can compare.

And the boys?

Here is another thought. If Mindy, Kim, and the Julies shared a dressing room, does that mean that Felice, Lisa, and Molly then shared another dressing room?

Oh, excellent identification, 80s dude! Well done! :wave:

Hmmm.... Let's see what we can find out!

All 3 of the Schachter sister definitely look a like. Felice today looks like what her mother did back in the day.

Yes, I've always thought the Schachter sisters looked very similar.

So, I actually believe she's the fifth girl in the row, based on the other thread I started. Molly was too tall already to be the second girl on the left, as we can see in the March color Annie photo.

YEP!

It's so cool seeing Mindy, Julie Pie, Julie Anne, Felice, Simone, two unidentified guys, and Molly eating at Denny's. THE Denny's!

But where were Kim and Lisa? I know, I know: Blair was still making Tootie's bed, and Tootie was overseeing it. ;)

It is GREAT seeing Molly in some of the candid behind-the-scenes photos, finally. I was beginning to believe she was only besties with a basket of cinnamon buns! :lol:

At least this tells us that Molly socialized with her castmates more often off screen than we previously realized.

Yes. I'd still like to see some candid shots showing her with her bestie, but this is better than what we had before, which was almost nothing.

I said in the message, second from left, lol. ;)

They zeroed in on her in this photo in the documentary, the second from the left. You can tell it's her by her face and her "round hair" in the front. :) She was smaller back then just before TGS, and that photo could have been from even earlier. The 5th girl is too old and has hair nearly to her shoulders.

Here's another photo from that "Annie", with Molly on the right.
