What's her name , the Pretty Waitress in the movie


I need some help here, I do not own the DVD , but watched it way too many times. If possible, does anyone know the name of the the woman who played the waitress in the movie? I would like to know what's has happened to her since then, any information would be more than appreciate.


Thanks

I watch Car Wash everytime it comes on the waitress name in the movie was Mona played by Tracy Reed. I heard she retired from show business in the 1980's.

How in the heck can someone ask a question like that, right here on IMDB???

If you've seen the movie that many times, you must know the waitress's name. T.C. calls her by it many times. (Mona) Then you can go right to the cast list and look it up. That's what this site is for, dontcha know.

People are just amazing as all get out to me.

I don't know about you guys but I'm 35 y/o and Tracy Reid must be well into her 50's and I would still get with her She is still Fine as Hell !!!

Ok, guess not everyone is as smart as you are. I don't see as it hurts to ask something you don't know, that's what a discussion board is for.

I was behind her on line at a video store in Los Angeles, back in 1990. She was a friendly lady. She gained a good amount of weight since the Car Wash days but she was still very beautiful. Actually she had freckles to my surprise, could have been something else, but did look like cute freckles

That was quite a strut she had in those tall heels.

Why ain't you at the garden party you heathen?

Yeah unlike this poor model. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-cxitNqSnU

Those heels didn't help, but it was that watering can that really threw her off balance.

Yeah, I totally agree! LOL! This is just as idiotic as going around asking people for the definition of a certain word, and all the while you're doing this, you have a dictionary in your hands! People are something at times, aren't they?

But the problem I always had with this movie was that it was too unrealistic, particularly in regard to Mona (Tracy Reed). As hot as she was, "Fly" would NOT have been the lone guy in that restaurant pursuing her. Most likely, that place would have been filled on a daily basis with men trying to "get next to" her.
And at the end of the movie, after the Fly makes his speech about "no prince is going to come in here and sweep you off your feet" (which is unrealistic because her looks alone could have easily attracted a rich guy anywhere), they make it seem as if she has no other option but to go out with the "Fly" because no other man would take her out.

Yeah, right.
