An excellent couple of finds - Jenny's episode of The Equalizer [with channel logo, unfortunately] and a replacement for my copy of her Magnum PI episode with no channel logo this time!


All the best

Default Dear John (The British are Coming)

Jenny in Dear John (The British are Coming) (1989).
An atypical comedy role for Jenny.

Jenny appears in Parts 2 and 3.

Default The Lady in Red

Ack!
This will be the one they pick many years from now for her as the backdrop on the BBC telescreen newscast for her obituary. Has everyone wiped away the coffee spewed onto the screen from when they first saw this?

Cameos or a significant role in these?

Default MGM Contract

Some questions about this for Jenny or anyone who knows the background. Obviously the contract never came off as she didn't appear in a raft of MGM movies afterwards.

1 - Was there actually a multimovie contract with MGM offered to Jenny or was Daniel Melnick engaging in some Hollywood hype ala "Baby, I'm gonna make you a star."?

2 - If there was a contract offered - did MGM withdraw it later or did Jenny reject it? Why?

3 - Did People Magazine really talk to Jenny's mother or did they just make it up? "She's a marvelous actress, so good we can't always tell how she feels," her mum observes, adding perhaps wishfully, "sometimes I wonder if she wouldn't rather settle down with a nice husband."

The rest of the article rings true when compared with later public comments from Jenny. Sounds like she had her head on straight at the age of 23. A sensible young lady.

Was the BBC Dear John any better?
The American (NBC) Dear John was a typical not too funny broadcast sitcom. I haven't watched this kind of lame network fare in many, many years.

The writing has Jenny with mainly sarcastic comments for her lines. Out of her normal character roles. At least she looked good, as usual, and gets quite physically forthright in Part 2 (Fell, stop dreaming...).

Well, I'm not going to disagree with that.

Jenny's next new series is Monday, Monday for ITV and I should think it will be shown in the autumn. I'm sure someone will post when they see it trailed

Can anyone help me with identifying this programme or programmes? I assume as they all have the NBC logo they are the at least the same series and probably from the US.










I certainly showed Jenny the one with her in a swimsuit and she had no recollection of it.

Almost the only programme I can think of that might fit is The Outsiders but it would seem Jenny was only in one episode of that.

It definitely isn't Magnum, Twilight Zone, Murder She Wrote, Equalizer, Dream On or Dear John.

All the best

Is the chap on the other sunlounger Toby Stephens?? According to IMDB they've not worked together, but then again, this may not be on IMDB...this has a glossy eighties look to it, but he has been about since '92...

Bit of a Bay Window, what??

I'm certain it must be from the 80s which would definitely cut out Toby Stephens. The man in the background does look vaguely familiar as an American character actor whose name I've never been aware of anyway!

Number2 seems quite right that The Outsiders just doesn't fit.

That only leaves TECX and This Office Life from the 80s/early 90s that I haven't got - but they're both set in the UK/Europe.

I have tracked down a contact for the person who uploaded the whole set of images so I'm trying to see if I can get a reply.

All the best
