Melissa's photos with Freddie - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TJ · 01-29-2002, 09:59 AM

These are her photos from around 1975 as she described in one of the other threads.

Here's the story on the below one:

"When we were backstage at the Valley Forge Music Fair, Freddie kept talking to Carol, his assistant, Ron, his manager, and Kathy about "changing the sign." My friend Denise and I had no idea what he was talking about. Turns out the Sheraton Valley Forge, where he was staying, has a duplex movie theater that was playing "Posse" and "Other Side of the Mountain." When we went back to the hotel after the show, we stopped under the sign, where all of us boosted Freddie up so he could take the "o" out of "Posse" and the "u" out of "Other Side of the Mountain" and switch them, with the obvious result. The rest of the night he went back and forth between saying "They're going to throw us out of the hotel for that" and trying to figure out how he could tell the story on the Tonight Show."

OMG! Those Pictures! He was tooo cute! It made me smile and then it made me cry. I get so misty when I think of him, and I didnt even know him. It must be so heart breaking for someone who really did. Thank you so much for sharing your story and the pictures.

Thanks for sharing these picture with us.He is so cute in them.This has really made my day better.Thanks so very much.

MariposaLKB · 01-29-2002, 01:37 PM

Yes, just what we all needed on such a sad day! Leave it to Freddie to see the humor in absolutely everything, even a movie theater sign! No wonder we all love him and miss him so much!

Cheryl Harrell · 01-29-2002, 05:52 PM

Yeah, I smiled & laughed & cried too.. What a darling Puertorican boy!

She was so lucky to have met him.

I loved the one of him with the hat! & The other one of him clowning around. Yes, it must be hard for anyone who knew him. I hope you don' t mind me using the pics & story for my site whenever it gets done in the yr 2525 (If it gets done that soon LOL!). I'll credit you for them. I want to show the world what a sweet boy he was!

I also did up 2 pics from her pics on here. Enjoy!

First one is called Melissa's Comic...

Cheryl Harrell · 01-29-2002, 05:56 PM

Karen64 · 01-31-2002, 07:23 PM

Wow! I love those pictures!

So brilliant and naughty! HeeHee! I love it!!

Melissa, where are you--are you still with us?

Pitooey · 01-31-2002, 07:41 PM

TJ............ Thanks for posting Melissa's pictures. What a thrill to see them. I just finished seeing The E True Hollywood story AGAIN and was feeling a little sad. The pictures cheered me up!

hue_mee · 01-31-2002, 11:08 PM

Thank you TJ for posting those pictures and story! That was a humorous moment I needed to remembe Freddie by on such a sad couple of days !

wheeeone · 02-01-2002, 03:41 AM

Thank you Melissa for sharing your photos with Freddie with us and an extra thanks to TJ for posting them. The silliness and the laughter shine through.

Cheryl Harrell · 02-01-2002, 04:11 AM

Thanks for sharing your pics & story! It is so neat!

I'd love to know where Wheeeone got that pic of Freddie in that suit & tie from? I've never seen that one before. He looks so mature & adult and... Handsome!

Oh yeah the pic looks like it might be from a tv show. What show would that be from? Anyone know????

wheeeone · 02-01-2002, 01:37 PM

Cheryl,
The picture I used for my avatar is one of 2 I took of an appearance by Freddie on The Tonight Show in 1975. I placed them both on the Biographical page of my website. I also used the second one for my Message Board.

StarshineJ · 02-01-2002, 03:40 PM

Hey, I just wanted to add my two cents and thanks to TJ and Melissa. Those pictures are incredible. I have felt pretty disconnected from Freddie lately, and those pictures reached me in a way that no publicity shot ever could. Took him out of media icon status and into human. I haven't been able to reach the human part of him for a long time. So thanks. BTW--Melissa, your smile! It is so infectious! I love it.

Can I use your pictures on my site, and what credit should I give it, if you say yes? (My site is http://www.freddieprinze.homestead.com)

tylersmistress2002 · 02-01-2002, 04:31 PM

Those pictures show you FREDDIE not just what the publicity shot wants you to see. It really humanizes him. Freddie, the man, not Freddie/Chico larger than life. Thanks again for sharing them with us. I think they were just what everone needed rite now.

Cheryl Harrell · 02-01-2002, 05:49 PM

Thanks for the info! He is so cute in the pics & looks so adult .

Mike said he saw that TONIGHT SHOW & he doesn't think Freddie did his standup act on that one, just got interviewed. I wish I could see it...
