Timelines for year 1987
Milla Jovovich
Went to high school with Christina Applegate; then later made a guest appearance on "Married with Children" .
Michael McKean
Turned down a regular role on "Married with Children" because he felt the show wouldn't be a hit with him in it. Passed on the recurring character of Dean Cyrus O'Dell of Hearst College on "Veronica Mars" , also. He decided to do the West End production of "Love Song" by John Kolvenbach instead.
Victoria Principal
Measurements: 37C-22-35 (self-described 1987), (Source: Celebrity Sleuth magazine), 36-23-35 (reported in 1982).
Bobbie Eakes
Was born on the same day as Katherine Kelly Lang, another star of "The Bold and the Beautiful" .
Peter Weller
Was chosen to play the lead character in RoboCop because of his slender build. The producers feared that having a large actor would require too big a suit that would look ridiculous, and insisted on a thinner actor. Weller found he sweated so much weight off in the suit that a fan had to be built into it.
Weller and RoboCop co-star Nancy Allen were both born on June 24th, three years apart (Weller was born in 1947, Allen was born in 1950).
Sarah Buxton
Her first air date on "The Bold and the Beautiful" as Morgan DeWitt was Tuesday February 15, 2000, and her last air date was Friday May 11, 2001.
Originally, she was to be in "The Bold and the Beautiful" for three years but she got written out only after 15 months, which she didn't know about until she had filmed what was to become her final scenes.
Signed a one-year contract to return to "The Bold and the Beautiful" in early 2005; however, fan response to her return was so negative that the producers quickly released her from her contract, and she left the show after only less than a month.
Won a Golden Boomerang award for Most Popular Villain for her role as Morgan on "The Bold and the Beautiful" .
Cher
Was called to be offered the role in The Witches of Eastwick on the morning of her 40th birthday.
Her Oscar-winning part in Moonstruck was originally offered to Sally Field, who turned it down.
Michael Jackson
Fell out with Quincy Jones after the producer cut half the songs from his 1987 album "BAD". In a 2006 interview with "The Daily Telegraph" newspaper, Jones admitted he had not spoken to Jackson for years.
His hit song "Bad" from 1987 was initially supposed to be a duet with fellow 80's superstar Prince. Prince said in an interview that he did not wish to sing the line "Your butt is mine".
His 1987 album "BAD" is third to "Thriller" as the biggest selling album of all time, with 20 million copies sold worldwide.
Did not tour America after the BAD tour in 1987.
