Forgot about her as most have..


Kind of sad, being as popular as she was, she never really developed into much after leaving Cheers! I might of seen her in a movie here and there and thought she looked familiar but couldn't place her. Yea, she has just blended into oblivion quite effectively.

reply

...such oblivion, in fact, that she continued to act and was hired to be on several dozen film projects and TV shows after that, all the way from when she left Cheers until 2012 (four projects in the current year). I'm just going to bet you'd like to have that kind of oblivion, not to mention that kind of money.

reply

The OP probably doesn't care about being a movie star,and money isn't the big priority for all actors.

reply

The question at hand (established by the OP's assertion) was whether Long had in fact "blended into oblivion," or whether that was only the OP's impression.

reply

"oblivion" is relative I guess. Let's split the difference.

reply

I'll agree to that. It's probably a fair statement that once you've stepped off the most popular weekly sitcom on TV for several years, you may not be quite as on-the-radar to every single fan in the world, anyway.

reply

That popular sitcom was nearly 30 yrs,though. And we don't know on what terms she left the show. It doesn't mean her career is over..just different.

reply

Pretty much exactly what I was saying.
