Were Mimi's Breasts Real or Fake before Reduction Surgery?

100% real... no question about it.

Wow. You seem really sure. 😊 OK, I invite you to view the Magnum PI episode from 1982, "Italian Ice", and tell me why her bust is so much smaller than in later years (and she was already all grown up at that time, too). I always assumed they were real, also, until I saw that episode on Starz/Encore last month. BTW, there were rumors she was dating Tom Selleck at the time that episode was filmed. But that's just an FYI, and has nothing to do with her cup size...

Ain't it grand that we can have a critical intellectual discourse on such a monumental subject?

Women's bust sizes do change in later life, some people believe. And not just because of childbirth or huge weight gain. There has been a web community dedicated to it (and everything big breasts) for 20 years called bearchive.com

I was stationed at Tripler Army Medical Center on Oahu and saw Magnum being filmed on several occasions. I watched one episode (The Jororo Kill) being filmed at a local country club IIRC. It was filmed in 1981 but broadcast in '82. A large tool shed was emptied and redecorated to look like the bar Rick managed in the early seasons. They just carried a bar in, placed a few tables and chairs, added the lights and boom microphones and they filmed away.

I recall Mimi Rogers being there... although she did not appear in the episode. I recall two other things about Mimi Rogers. They were real and they were spectacular.

I have no idea why her bust appeared significantly smaller in the episode you mentioned, but the day I saw her, they were swinging unencumbered under some kinda loose cotton top. I was obviously impressed.

Check out the movie Full Body Massage - Rogers at her best. 😀

Well since you saw Mimi during that time period, in person, it's tough to argue with that type of first-hand account. I am thinking that maybe because her character in the Magnum episode was that of a respectable, Drama prof. at the local college/U, they dressed her down on purpose to de-emphasize that particular physical attribute. She was definitely playing a conservative, "good" girl (or woman, rather), and, of course, her character did have the standard, romantic interlude with Mr. Magnum, etc. (And he wouldn't go for a floozy!)

There are plenty of tricks they can do with clothing and bras to make one appear less endowed, if necessary. The only outfit she had on in the episode that was remotely sexy (definite emphasis on remote) was in the denouement, and even that "little black dress" only showed about 1/16 inch of cleavage...I guess the mystery may never be solved, but I am very grateful for your eye-witness feedback. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you're correct mfalcon. I'd bet producers "toned down" Rogers', shall we say "fleshy charms", for that particular episode.

At a few times, I stood no further than two or three feet from her and I can tell you she was really an attractive woman. Not exactly what could be called "classically beautiful" but she had just an electric, smolderingly sexy presence. Sadly, I never had the nerve to talk to her.

Now to Selleck.

He couldn't have been more friendly, outgoing and engaging with people hanging around the set to watch filming. At the time (and I think it's still true), ALL beaches in the state are considered public access areas but he didn't have to deal with fans/set watchers. He had a huge Winnebago that was used as his "dressing room" and he could have retreated to that if he wanted to avoid interacting with people but he didn't. He'd walk up to somebody, myself included, strike up a conversation, sign autographs and joke around with bystanders. No "celebrity diva" attitude whatsoever.

Well, jet, it is reassuring to know that great minds think alike, regarding Mimi's conservative dress in that Magnum episode. I think Ms. Rogers, like many stars, has that invisible yet magical aura that makes her different than the rest of us mere mortals. She certainly was involved with several, high profile, extremely famous men during her heyday (men who could literally have any woman they chose), so they must have agreed with you about her smoldering sexy presence!

I absolutely adore your comments on Selleck. He is a true star, and it is wonderful to see him have so much success in his career, even today. I love hearing about him being approachable and kind to his fans. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. I am currently addicted to watching all of the Magnum episodes on Starz. They are a lot of fun, and perhaps I was too young (and much to busy with the drama in my own life) to appreciate them completely when they originally aired in the 80's.

In summary:

Mimi's breasts = real (check)
Tom Selleck = good person (check)

And I guess this is the thread's denouement...😄

But for one thing...

Merry Christmas mfalcon.
