The 80's Just Ended.


Wendie Jo Sperber, has died of breast cancer.

If you are over 15 and she doesn't look familiar then shame on you.

... hastily grabbed from imdb (in reverse chronological order)

  1. Stewardess School (1986) .... Jolean Winters
  2. Back to the Future (1985) .... Linda McFly
  3. Moving Violations (1985) .... Joan Pudillo
  4. Bachelor Party (1984) .... Dr. Tina Gassko
  5. The First Time (1983) .... Eileen
    ... aka Doin' It (USA: video title)
  6. "Private Benjamin" (1981) TV Series .... Pvt. Stacy Kouchalakas (1982-1983)
  7. "Bosom Buddies" (1980) TV Series .... Amy Cassidy (1980-1982)
  8. Used Cars (1980) (as Miss Wendie Jo Sperber) .... Nervous Nona

  9. 1941 (1979) .... Maxine Dexheimer
  10. Dinky Hocker (1979) (TV) .... Susan 'Dinky' Hocker
  11. Corvette Summer (1978) .... Kuchinsky
    ... aka The Hot One
  12. I Wanna Hold Your Hand (1978) .... Rosie Petrofsky
Sure, sure she worked after 1986, but by then the damage was done.

Wendie Jo Sperber was a mainstay of broad (and awesome) comedies in the 80s. This news sucks.

Otherwise known as, the only fat chick I ever thought was cute.

Damn. She was sick for a while, but still, bummer.

What a shitty week - Morita, Sperber, my iPod. What the hell's goin' on 'round here?

P.S. - There's the infamous 3rd celebrity death by the way - Morita, Sperber and Best.
