RIP to Gwendolyn Pierce from Charles in Charge. She made the show better.
RIP Gwendolyn Pierce
- Thread starter Shepdogg
- Start date
Sorry, her real name is Jennifer Runyon, I think that Gwendolyn was her character in CIC. Either way, gone too soon and she will be missed.
My god. She and Nicole Eggert were worth watching that show for (and the Bop magazines I’d buy to cut out the pics and hang on my wall). I may well die if/when Alyssa Milano and/or Olivia D’abo pass (gods be good that is a long time from now). RIP Jennifer. Baio has been out kicking his coverage forever….
I don't think I ever watched Charles in Charge.
Never too late to start!I don't think I ever watched Charles in Charge.

She was a solid actress with a radiant smile. By all accounts a classy lady. A true angel on earth. Rest in Peace.
She was in a movie called "The In Crowd". If you're from Philly, you'll want to see it. It's about a guy who wants to be on a dance show like Bandstand in the 1960s. Lots of local Philly stuff--I'd forgotten that the police cars were red when I was a kid. Sally Starr and Peter Boyle have cameos (he was playing his father, who was on a Philly kids show then). The DJ is a take on Jerry Blavat, thinly disguised. Filmed at the Tower, Cheltenham High, Huntington Valley and other spots. They were careful on continuity and the time setting--somehow they even got an old Reading Blueliner to make an appearance as they also filmed in an old Reading station, I think in Germantown.
Same here, Don't know the actress or the show. Must have been working away on Blue Route construction projects, no time for TV but plenty of nights out after the construction dusty days end at Rathbones in Plymouth Meeting.I don't think I ever watched Charles in Charge.

Thanks for sharing gil,
I watch old clips of TV bandstand on YouTube while surfing daily events in Iran.
No worries, bumping for the benefit of others that missed it.
She was Elizabeth Shue before Elizabeth Shue.
Thanks again, Gilbert
Waiting for my wife in the parking lot decided to look for the movie on the phone. Found it. It’s on YouTube so I’ll be watching it tonight.
Make sure you have the right one. It came out in 1988, but there is a another movie with the same name that came out in 2000.
It's the right one, watched the trailer last evening, started watching the developments of this insane conflict into the early morning hours.
Baio has somehow managed to escape repercussions for taking advantage of a young Eggert...
Baio taking advantage of a young Eggert?? Yeah, that’s bad.
John Derek said hold my beer and cast Olivia D’Abo at 13 for “Bolero.”
Eggert was only 15 when she started the show; Baio was 27.
How charitable of Baio to have "waited" until she turned 18.
It's not just the age difference, but he's known her starting when she was a sophomore in HS.
Not surprising considering Derek's track history.
As for Olivia, she's 1st cousin once removed with Maryam d'Abo (most famous for being a Bond girl), but could pass for siblings.
