Nobody answered my question yet! Did Mrs. Roper smoke? I was noticing yesterday that she had really bad teeth...

She smokes in The Crossing Guard, where she has her monologue when Jack Nicholson walks into the house or wherever they were. She's brushing her black hair ( wig? dye? :shrugs: ) and then he walks in.

*Spoiler’s Alert*

Priscilla’s character (Verna?) is a stripper who dates Jack Nicholson’s character (Freddy). One day, he comes home late and Verna gets mad. She sits down & lights a cigarette. She talks to him about coming home late and whatnot (Oh, there are so many curses! Verna is so much different than Terri) and he starts sleeping. She continues talking and he starts snoring and she starts crying, in frustration, I guess… So, that’s her big moment. Her next big moment is when Freddy is at a strip club that Verna used to work at and she just happened to be there (funny how movies do that). The stripper on stage calls Freddy to the stage. He walks up and passes Verna, who realizes, “that’s why he’s always late”. He was dating this other stripper while he was still with Verna. You could see the lightbulb go on when the camera passes Verna.

omg i know!! i have such a hard time believing they smoked. THEY HAVE SUCH BEAUTIFUL TEETH!!! i dont see how its possible. i mean smoking would have had to have some effect on their teeth, right?

Janet McFarland · 06-11-2004, 07:47 PM

Yeah I know! I remember reading John and Joyce smoked! I was shocked!

I don't think Suzanne smoked , she might've , someone said Priscilla Barnes smoked , and I'm not sure about anyone else.

grade4 · 06-11-2004, 07:54 PM

I still think Audra Lindley smoked... And I found out somehow (a pic, an article) that Norman Fell smoked cigars...

M4cong · 06-12-2004, 03:50 AM

Ya. I agree with you all on being shocked that John and Joyce smoked. I read it in the book, too. I bet that Joyce just smoked for a brief period of time....like 2-3 years during the show. I seriously doubt that she smokes now, because she is still performing on stage. I just can't see her doing that. I remember I read somewhere (and I can't remember where) that Joyce's New Years resoultion for sometime in the 1980s was to pay more attention to feeding her body with healthy things. Smoking is so not healthy, so I bet that may have been part of what she was talking about.

anyway....i don't know about john. I can't see him smoking around his children....so maybe it was just a thing that he and joyce did on the set and when they were together at parties and stuff. Who knows??? BUT, I wish I knew for sure.

Janet Tripper · 06-12-2004, 11:33 PM

I agree! I don't think they smoked like all the time! Maybe it was them being nervous!??! before preforming and then they quit! I really hope they didn't smoke reg. b/c they had such good teeth

!!!!! and I agree with iloveJohn4 that is a total turn off!!!!

!!!!!!!

And I'm shocked Joyce DeWitt smoked because she used to sing and why would she smoke if smoking messes up your voice?? Did Suzanne or Richard smoke?? Did smoking have anything to do with Ritter's health??

Probably. Didn't he die of heart disease? Smoking would be the number one cause of that.

Uh-uh. He died of an aortic dissection. It's usually caused by eating too much & the heart gets affected. It's not like he had lung cancer or anything... I don't think smoking caused his death, yet it didn't help him in any way...

no,i don't think so

Chain Gang Member · 06-17-2004, 08:59 AM

Priscilla did smoke but I think she got off of it

aussieguypearce · 06-17-2004, 10:53 AM

Chrissy must have smoked or drank alot of coffee because her teeth looked pretty bad during the run of the show.

And You could really tell Terri smoked because her voice sounded really deep in some recent interview much like Lucille Ball in her later years.

David Bell · 06-17-2004, 11:50 AM

Well, it was the 70s after all. Everybody smoked back then. I started smoking in the 80s when I was 15 watching Don Johnson on "Miami Vice".
