Where were Eddie Mekka and Ron Palillo?


I loved the huge child star get-together at the end, but I couldn't spot Eddie Mekka or Ron Palillo in the crowd scene as they sing the "Child Star" song (which was so "nucking" brilliant!)

Also, Eve Plumb and Susan Olsen were absent from the Brady Bunch contingent - how come they weren't approached for a cameo?

saw Eddie - just about on the left side...didn't see Ron.

Why was Eddie Mekka there? Was he a childhood star? If so I am unaware of that. He was on Laverne and Shirley and dated Shirley on the show.

I am sure Eve and Susan were both approached but Eve I know refuses to do anything that has to do with Jan Brady. Susan I don't know....maybe she was busy or didn't think it was funny.

Is Eve really that busy now?

Ron was definitely visible in the chorus; he's kinda right in the middle, the guy who's mouth opened and closed like a German nutcracker doll when he sang along.

In this shot, he's standing next to Charlene Tilton:
