TV Series Friends was wildly popular from 1994 to 2004 and launched the careers of its stars. For a decade they were some of the most well-known actors and actresses in Hollywood being nominated for a combined 63 Emmy Awards and earning the cast, at the end, a whopping $1 million an episode.

The series revolves around a group of friends (Ross, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe, Joey and Rachel) in the area of Manhattan, New York City, who occasionally live together and share living expenses.

Lauren Tewes, better known as Julie McCoy on The Love Boat, hasn’t been up to a whole lot in recent years. After making her mark as the world’s most famous Cruise Director on The Love Boat, Tewes caught various TV roles on shows like The X Files, Who’s the Boss, Dark Justice and National Lampoon’s Attack of the 5 ft. 2 Women.

Following Lauren’s dismissal from “The Love Boat” in 1984, she spiraled into drug addiction. She has now been sober for many years and presently makes her living doing voice-overs and radio commercials. She says she used to spend 16 hours a day caring for her sick husband.

Recent updates have her working as a cheese steward in Washington state and performing in “Prayer for My Enemy” the Intiman Theatre Co. in Seattle.

Tina Louse

Born Tatiana Josivonvna Chernova Blacker, Tina Louise was born on February 11, 1934 in New York City, New York. She trained at the Actors Studio and got her big break on Broadway in Lil Abner.

Her biggest claim to fame, of course, was her role as the sexy castaway Ginger Grant on sixties sitcom Gilligan’s Island.

Though it was her biggest role, she grew to hate the show and refused to participate in any of the many Gilligan’s Island reunion shows. She also reportedly detested her co-star Dawn Wells (Mary Anne.)

Her last role was in 2004 when she played Celeste Clark in West from North Goes South. Yeah, I haven’t heard of it either.

Her daughter, Caprice Crane, is a Hollywood writer and is currently working on the ressurection of 90210.
