Nancy Fox in "Home Cookin'" (an unsold pilot) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I thought I had exhaused finding anything more about Nancy Fox on the internet when, low and behold, this photo of her and Fannie Flagg from Home Cookin', an unsold TV series pilot, showed up on a website. It was made shortly after Temperatures Rising was cancelled. When I met her in 2017, Nancy told me that the pilot was well made and enjoyable, making it somewhat of a pity that the show didn't get picked up.

I'd like to see this pilot sometime, but it's not available anywhere. Nancy looks very young in the photo and (as usual) very pretty.

Incidently, Fannie Flagg's real name is Patricia Neal!

It aired on ABC on July 11, 1975.

The comic antics of a husband and wife who run a roadside diner outside Nashville and the truck drivers they serve. Sue Ann Langdon, the original star of the pilot, was replaced by Fannie Flagg. In the pilot, the husband hires a sexy new waitress and sparks his wife's jealousy.

Cast: Fannie Flagg (as Adelle), Wynn Irwin (Ernie), Nancy Fox (Dinette the Waitress), Burton Gilliam (Jammer), Walker Edmiston (Trooper), Bill McLean (Shorty)

Home Cookin' is the only unsold pilot listed for Nancy Fox. I saw IMDb has added her birthdate as September 13, 1954. She would have been 19 at the time if it was filmed in the spring/summer of 1974.
