Let's play Global Thermonuclear War.

[urth]

shall we play a game? 

BOS for Wargames.  It's Ally Sheedy too, right? 

Yep. Wonder what she's up to lately? She was quite the BratPack honey in the early/mid-80s, but disappeared not long after.

BOS2 HL, "(KF)F" -- 10th appearance tho' it is.

HM for the Human League.  A friend of mine arranged "Fascination" for the LSJUMB.  They tore it up.  Literally.

Always a great flashback for me even though it is a vrey frequent flyer.  This was one of my favorite songs to dance to that summer.

She was always a favorite of mine.  And now her daughter is almost as old as she was when Wargames came out.  We're old...

ETA: I take that back.  Her daughter is only 2/3 her age at Wargames time.  But we're still old.

Back in 83/84, there was a great mashup of Billie Jean music with vocals of Steely Dan's Do It Again, worked well, although I don't recall who did it.

THis is too good not to point out:  She is married to actor David Lansbury, the nephew of actress Angela Lansbury and son of Edgar Lansbury, the producer of the original production of Godspell.

Angela Lansbury's brother was the original producer of Godspell?  I saw the original cast in the original off broadway show when I was a kid in Lon Gisland.
