Julie Piekarski in The Best of Times (1981)

[RetroGuy2000]

I never know what has been seen before, so I'm sharing this.

Here is Julie in The Best of Times, which was a TV movie starring Crispin Glover, Nicolas Cage, and of course Julie as a cheerleader named Julie. It was a comedy that aired as a pilot on ABC, apparently on July 13, 1981, a few months before the Season Three premiere of FOL. I think it is yet more proof that a large segment of TV producers at that time were on cocaine. This one has to be seen to be believed. The number of drug references and drug-induced scenes in this film is mind-boggling. At one point, the kids break into a wordless... musical number at the convenience store. WTF?!

Side note: Crispin's bedroom set looks very much like my uncle Steven's room in that era, even down to the blue walls and general messiness. (My uncle was only six years older than me).

Wow I think she might've mentioned that in her mmc interview. She looks the same as season 1 Sue Ann.

Julie does the best she can with weak material. Always the trooper!

Yeah, she's one of the few people who can say she worked with both Crispin Glover and Nick Cage on the same project! I think that would be worth mentioning in an interview.... even if the production is... less than stellar.
