GREAT SELECTION OF THE FINEST OUTDOOR AND
INDOOR CASUAL FURNITURE & ACCESSORIES
It wasn't Farrah or Kate or Jaclyn. It was
Sheena!
Elizabeth Applebaum AppleTree Editor
FYI: Meet Miss Bourn ...
Everyone who knows anything about
television remembers one of the most
intellectually stimulating programs
ever aired. Created by Aaron
Spelling himself, it was called "Char-
lie's Angels," and it told the adven-
tures of three hard-working detectives
who — wow, what a coincidence!
just happened to be at the beach
or getting into a hot tub (crime is
rampant at these places, you know)
H.
and so had to be in a bikini at least
once each episode.
The first cast of this incredible pro-
gram included Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn
Smith and Kate Jackson, who now
makes some really memorable car
commercials for Lincoln-Mercury (or,
as she calls it, "Lincoln-Merkery"). But
that cast didn't last long. Farrah was
soon replaced by Cheryl Ladd, then
Kate left, then came Shellee, and
then somebody Jewish. Yes, in yet
another FYI discovery that makes us
all proud to be Jewish, I'm glad to
report that Tanya Roberts, Charlie's
last angel, was indeed the daughter
of a Jewish mother (her father was
Irish). In fact, Tanya Boum, as she
was known back then, was born in
1954 and raised in Da Bronx.
Tanya worked as a dance teacher
and model while she studied acting
with Lee Strasberg. After appearing
in a number of commercials, she
('; moved to Hollywood where she had
bit roles on several failed TV pilots.
Then came Charlie in 1976, and
Tanya's big break.
Tragically, "Charlie's Angels"
ended less than a year after Tanya
I joined the cast. No one blamed her
) alone, although earlier some
"observers" put forth the theory that
the show's "magic" was jinxed after
the sacred formula of two brunettes
(Smith, Jackson) plus one blonde
(Fawcett) was changed (Jackson's
replacement was blond). So you
would think bringing another
brunette, which Tanya certainly was,
would have brought back the glory
days of "Charlie's Angels," right? But
let's not linger on the show's demise.
It's just too painful. Anyway, after
"Charlie" was canceled, Tanya
Roberts (she got the "Roberts" part
from her husband, Barry) went on to I
star in some really swell films like The
I Beastmaster and Sheena, Queen of
the Jungle, her last great movie, in
1984. We haven't seen much of
Tanya lately, but we can hope, can't
we, that she'll follow in the footsteps
of that other astonishing talent, for-
1 mer "Three's Company" actress
Jenilee Harrison, and start making
some cool infomercials.
./ FYI:
Along came
a spider ...
You've heard the
cliche about those das-
tardly fellows who spin their
evil webs? But did you know
. the e Torah said it first? Isaiah
/59:5-6 compares the wicked
designs of those who plot against
righteous souls to the web the spider
spins to catch insects. El
