I actually saw ...Wow - just stumbled on your blog. I actually saw "Staying Alive" not too long ago on Netflix. I'm a big ABC soap fan, and I had no idea that Finola Hughes was in it. Yes, it was a turkey, in more ways than one, but the only reason I gave it 5 stars was because of Finola Hughes. I also had no idea that she was a dancer. Yes, if you can sit through this, it is worth one watch -- seeing Finola Hughes was fantastic, and she was the only reason I gave the movie a 5. Certainly, Travolta was stunning, and he was rumored to have hit on Stallone, who was neither bi nor interested...1AceGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17612897423664927038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-42660985219216040342011-06-12T21:18:56.377-04:002011-06-12T21:18:56.377-04:00>>(*whew* - sorry, didn't realize what a...>>(*whew* - sorry, didn't realize what an essay I was writing!)<<<br /><br />Doesn't matter in the slightest! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your firsthand encounter with Ms. Rhodes and am delighted that she was so nice and down to earth (as I would have suspected.)

While everyone in the neighbourhood was concerned with trying to get a glimpse of her co-stars (Tom Selleck and Gene Simmons) I parked myself outside the makeup trailer, since I saw through the window that Ms. Rhodes was inside (I actually had to get on the hood of a car to see through the window since I hadn't hit my growth spurt yet). When she finally emerged, I approached her for her autograph and she was taken aback and genuinely stunned. "Me? You want MY autograph?" She then did a dramatic fainting swoon into her assistant, who got into the act by shouting "Medic - we need a medic over here!". Then with giddy laughter she graciously signed her autograph (inscribing "I love you FOREVER - thank you!") and then posed for a picture with me before she continued to the set.<br /><br />Since <i>Staying Alive</i> had already fizzled and the only other thing she had done was a small role in <i>Flashdance</i> (and Toto's "Rosanna" video, as mentioned above), her star wasn't really on the rise at that time. And with everyone going gaga over Selleck she probably just figured no one would even notice her, let alone know who she was. So I guess when I approached her (and referenced her Flashdance role) it just made her really happy to be recognized and in turn gave me a chance to see a sweet, "real" side to a celebrity. And funny thing, a few years later she was on a local (Vancouver) radio show promoting <i>Dirty Dancing</i> and I managed to get through on the call line, speak to her again and tell her who I was - and she was the same, sweet, down-to-earth person all over again. Truly a class act.<br /><br />(*whew* - sorry, didn't realize what an essay I was writing!)vinniepophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00964836427634415825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-32855805285700643552010-05-27T00:03:10.423-04:002010-05-27T00:03:10.423-04:00Craptabulous?

I did, however, LOVE the photos!
