Saw a movie with the parents! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was watching The Golf Channel and they had a movie that featured Susan Clark and Alex Karras. It was called "Babe." It was the story about female golfer Babe Didrikson-Zaharias. I also just learned that Clark and Karras are married in real life. Interesting!

I didn't know that. I checked on it and found out they married in 1980 (about 3 years before Webster first aired) and they had a daughter Katie the year they got married. They didn't waste any time did they? I've never seen the TV movie Babe. One TV movie I've searched for is "The 500 Pound Jerk", where Alex Karras plays an Olympic weightlifter. It aired in 1972. It was an obvious tie-in to the Munich Games. Did you happen to tape the movie "Babe"?

I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS MOVIE TWICE AS A LITTLE GIRL. IT WAS VERY INSPIRING, MOVING AND SAD. IT REMINDED ME OF "BRIAN'S SONG", AND WITH BOTH MOVIES I WEPT. SUSAN DID A WONDERFUL JOB IN PORTRAYING "BABE"! I ALWAYS THINK OF HER IN THAT MOVIE BEFORE THINKING OF HER IN WEBSTER.

I KNEW ALEX & SUSAN WERE MARRIED, AND AM SO GLAD THEIR MARRIAGE HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME.

HERE IS SOME INFO I FOUND ON "BABE" DIDRICKSON, THAT I BELEIVE MADE HER THE GREATEST ATHLETE, MALE OR FEMALE, OF ALL TIME.

FIRST, HER GOAL AS A TEEN WAS "TO BE THE GREATEST ATHLETE THAT EVER LIVED."

HER ATLETIC TALENTS & ABILITES WERE TRULY UNMATCHED, IN THAT SHE NOT ONLY PLAYED THESE FOLLOWING SPORTS, BUT EXCELLED IN THEM AS AN ACCOMPLISHED ATHLETE: TRACK & FIELD, BASKETBALL, BASEBALL, TENNIS, HANDBALL, SWIMMING & DIVING, BOXING, BOWLING, BILLIARDS, SKATING AND GOLF.

BABE SET 3 WORLD RECORDS.

IN 1932, SHE QUALIFIED FOR 5 EVENTS IN THE OLYMPICS, AND WENT ON TO WIN MEDALS.
IN 1936 ALONE, SHE WON 13 GOLF TOURNAMENTS. DURING HER CAREER AS A GOLFER, SHE HAD 55 TOURNAMENT VICTORIES, INCLUDING WINNING 3 WOMEN'S OPENS.
IN 1949, SHE WAS A CO-FOUNDER OF THE LPGA.

BABE WAS OF 5'5'' STATURE AND WAS BUILT SOLID. SHE STATED SHE RECEIVED HER NICKNAME AS A TEEN, BY BOYS WHOM SHE PLAYED WITH, WHEN THEY SAW HER LONG DISTANCE HOMERS. SADLY, SHE DIED OF CANCER ON 9/27/56. BABE WAS ONLY 45 YEARS OLD. SHE WAS AN ATHLETE TO THE END. STILL PLAYING GOLF, AND ON HER WAY, I'M SURE, TO ANOTHER WINNING TOURNAMENT.

A LOT OF MY INFO IS FROM AN ESPN STORY, WHICH HAD AN EXCELLENT ARTICLE ON "BABE".
