Melissa Gilbert never looked hotter than in this film!


Don't get me wrong I think Melissa Gilbert is very lovely, but in this film she looked spectacular!
She has a luminous beauty, like Charlize Theron and Connie Sellecca.

Anyone agree?

I think she looked good except her teeth, they were a bit too yellow. I really enjoyed her in the movie.

Ya know, its funny that you mention her slightly yellow teeth. I caught this film on the Late Movie last night, and I noticed that same thing. I hadn't noticed that before.
I'm kind of surprised with all the effort they put into her looks here that they'd 'miss' her teeth. Oh well.

An actress without 'Hollywood teeth'....hard to come by these days!

I enjoyed her in this film a lot, and I am not a huge fan of hers. She was great here!

But not in 1989 or so, when this movie was filmed. There was no bleaching, no laser. Melissa would have been really gorgeous with blinding white teeth, but they would have been out of place in this late 80's style movie.

Erik Estrada was the only person memorable for his white teeth during the '80s.

I am watching this film yet again. Every single time I see this film I look at her teeth. I always say "why on earth did they not whiten her teeth"?

Didn't they have these products back in the day. Look at how
Farah Fawcetts teeth were. She had blinding white teeth, no?

So how come everything else about Melissa Gilbert was fabulous, (hair, makeup, clothes) and then she smiles and it's all ruined.

I guess because back then normal and natural were, well. . . normal and natural, not like today with everything being fake.

That whole "Will you be my prince" scene is the best!

I was thinking the same thing, she looked damn good! :)
