I don't know how many noticed, but Cindy Williams passed this month. She was Ronnie Howards Gal in American Graffiti and Shirley of Laverne and Shirley fame. I always thought she was cute as a button, and she played that sweet girl next door. It got me to thinking again how I had always been the Girl Next Door type.
It was never a hard choice for me...
Janet over Chrissy
Shirley over Laverne
Mary Anne over Ginger
I was always going to choose the gal next door
On WKRP, I ignored the Blonde Jennifer and had a thing for Bailey
On Charlies Angels everyone was hot for Farrah Fawcett's Jill, but I loved the Girl Next door character of Kate Jackson's Sabrina.
As I got older, it was still the gal next door, just in a different light...
Tim's wife on Home Improvement over the tool babes
Raymond's Wife over the babes that showed up there.
Am I alone here...?
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

Re: Girls Next Door
90% my choice would be the girls next door. Except for Home Improvement then it's the tool babes.

Re: Girls Next Door
Yep, Ginger over Maryanne every time. Although I have to admit I was Marsha Brady all the way.
I take the girl next door, in fact I married one.
Sad to see Cindy Williams pass so young. American Graffiti is one of my all time favorite movies. Period. Because of it this 70’s teen discovered music from that era. I bought the soundtrack on LP and then recorded it to cassette. Boy, how old school is that.
Loved Laverne and Shirley, especially the characters Lenny and Squiggy.

Re: Girls Next Door
I married the girl from the farm next door. Unfortunately it didn't work out.

Re: Girls Next Door
Yup, something about them. I went to a public school where the lot was full of high end cars, and the kids parents had lots of money. (Most of them, not mine.) LOL. Of course there were a lot of VERY pretty girls in the school, but I could only see one. A girl next door type, bookish, glasses, nice as can be. We became friends, but I never asked her out. Her dad was a Commonwealth's Attorney for the City of Richmond, and she was my friend.
(Sounds like a movie, doesn't it.)
A couple years later, the high school girls were no longer the center of attention, they were lost amid the sea of college beauty. My friend had moved to New York and had already been on three magazine covers.
