Cynthia Nixon, who looks about 8 years old, as an imposter on 70's TTTT. She was the daughter of a staffer (can't recall the name, sorry) and I think she may have fooled one or two on the panel.

Caren Kaye of "Blansky's Beauties," "It's Your Move" and the movie "My Tutor," on "Pyramid" some time in the 70s.

Newsweek financial columnist Jane Bryant Quinn on "Three on a Match."  (Her daughter's charter MTV VJ Martha Quinn.)

McLean Stevenson was a contestant on the CBS daytime "Password" (long-lost, of course)... and from what he said, played the game so well that he only managed to take home a set of American Tourister luggage.

just remembered..

my FOF "partner" who I screwed over }:D, I later found out, was Liana Loggins, niece of Kenny Loggins, who went on to star in the blockbuster D-grade hits "The Face of the Serpent" and "Lord of the Vampires"..has apparently appeared on covers of "over 150 romance novels, most of them with Fabio" and is a self-proclaimed "Supermodel"


/oh.. you said celebrity?

Tom Durkin, NBC horse racing announcer, MGPM

Kellie Martin, Eubanks Card Sharks TW

Stacey Gualante, Inside Edition - last two MG91s

Lesser known celeb from Perry Card Sharks is Todd Whitthorne (10/79).  He spent time as an anchor at WFAA in Dallas in the late 90s and early 2000s with Paula McClure who had been an MG90 panelist and "Home" correspondent.  Anyway, last I heard, he was working for the guy who coined the term "aerobics" in Dallas, as a spokesman.  Though Dr. Kenneth Cooper can also speak very well too.

Another on Perry CS was Anne Marie Johnson (played Roger Thomas' wife in the revised What's Happening Now series, then went on to join the In Living Color cast).

I was a fan of the movie and TV series Fame as well, and the guy who played Dwight, the nerdish hall monitor (David Greenlee) was on P+ in 1979 (I think in the Lee Meriwether/Peter Marshall week).

He got hit, pressed, faced and blitzed (just kidding, Randy!)

Off the top of my head, he was Hit Man's last champion (won $1000 or so, I can't remember), won a new car and other goodies on PYL, and a trip to Mexico on Blitz.

I recall also seeing a clip of Naomi on 70's Password, on one of those "Before They Were Stars" clip shows

[beatlefreak84]

This may be a stretch (depending on how well people know him from the NFL), but Myke Horton, who later was Gemini on American Gladiators, was on PYL in 1985.

IIRC, wasn't Linda Cardellini (Scooby Doo and Legally Blonde, just to name a couple, but I remember her best as Lindsey Weir from Freaks and Geeks) also on TPIR?

Anthony

[alfonzos]

Bernadette Peters, as a child, on NTT.
