At a press conference called by Gloria Allred on Friday, yet another woman came forward with a story of sexual assault by Harvey Weinstein. Heather Kerr, an actress who appeared in episodes of The Facts of Life, Trapper John, M.D., and Mama’s Family, says Weinstein sexually assaulted her during a business meeting. “He said if he was going to introduce me around town he needed to know if I was ‘good.’ He kept repeating that word,” Kerr said, according to THR. She claims Weinstein then unzipped his pants and made her touch his penis. When she pulled her hand back, she says, he told her that this was simply the way Hollywood worked. Kerr claims that she was so traumatized by the experience that she stopped acting soon after; her IMDb page lists no roles after 1988.

I don't know who she was.

She was "Ali-kins". She played Alison, the guest star in "A Baby in the House". Episode here.

Wow...

She also played teenage Eunice in the flashback episode of Mama's Family entitled "Sins of the Mother" (in which she was brilliant as a teenage Eunice as imagined being played by Carol Burnett).

The wider issue is how society deals with men who think they're above the law, have the power to influence the trajectory of people's careers under the guise of being helpful, when in fact they are despicable, ugly, over-sexed letches who should rightly be in jail.

I think that was the Hollywood system for many years.
