I met Tina Louise (actually "hanged" with her a few times) back in the
70's.  My girlfriend (later wife, later late-wife) knew her.  I was
never comfortable with Tina's "entitlement" attitude.  On one hand, she
avoided being linked to the show as it was popular in syndication.  But
on the other hand, she never passed up an opportunity to leverage the
fame (to a point).  It was rather contradictory and I am still left
with the impression that she wasn't very comfortable in her own skin
(it was very nice skin I might add:-)

Oh...they were real...and they were spectacular!

It and I Love Lucy were the trailblazers for syndicated television. -
