Remember Andrea Zuckerman from 90210? Yeah. She’s forty seven now. And I know she was older than the teen she played on the show, but the fact that she’s pushing 50 completely freaks me out. And this is really all secondary to the more relevant, recent news about her.
Andrea (real name Gabrielle Carteris) is suing the producers of some TV movie she was filming, because she got hurt during the making of a choking at knifepoint scene. She says she has nerve damage, left facial paralysis, and all sorts of neck and face and jaw and back pain. Apparently she was unable to work for a bit after the injury. Naturally, her attorney is making the whole thing sound EXTREMELEY DRAMATIC. She said, “We view this as a preventable incident that has had tragic consequences to both her family and to her career.”
I wasn’t even aware she HAD a career after 90210, but I suppose that’s of little consequence.
Andrea is, of course, seeking all sorts of money, and says she’s suffered “ongoing physical and emotional injuries that are manifestly obvious to her and the people around her.” Gawd.
The attorneys for the production company said that this is a worker’s comp case, and not something that should be fought out in civil court. I tend to agree with that, mostly because I am SICK AND TIRED of people suing everyone all the time for “emotional damages.”
Anyway, can you even believe she’s 47?
I was feeling all young and energized at work last night…but now… I may just have to give up and go buy a Hover-Round. Apparently those can take me to the Grand Canyon, anyway.
I know this is totally off the wall and unrelated but I love the name Zuckerman. It is one of those fun words to say. Zuckerman Zuckerman Zuckerman
I wish you had posted a picture of her now…I have to see how she looks at almost 50. Hey, maybe she could be an AARP spokesperson!
She always looked old and had horrific deep fried hair even for the early ’90s. I just couldn’t stand her. I just remember how she ruined the opening theme w/that nasty image of her sitting bolt upright, waving her uptight little self-righteous hand, looking like she was being anally impaled. Her character was completely insufferable and absolutely extraneous. Even now seeing that old hag’s picture bugs me. Why the hell is she hugging herself? Cause no one else will?
If you want to see the hippy wrinkled old bag, go to this address. Atleast some one flat ironed that nasty eighties hair, but it’s bleached fake blonde. http://teamsugar.com/1103516
