Welcome to fine tuning with Drew Taylor your one-stop shop when it comes to animation news and commentary

I'm Drew's co-host entertain writer Jim Hill and he and I are recording this week's show on Friday April 8th

2022 this week's show starts on a somewhat sad note. We lost to Stell Harris this past week

Did you ever get the chance to interview her? I never did. I mean by the time I was kind of going, you know

To all these junkets. I think she was a little past that point, you know what I mean

She had a recurring role on the Disney channels the sweet life with Zach and Cody. Yes, he was Muriel and

Through somebody on the show I got the chance to sit down with her and she actually didn't start acting

Till when her kids grew up so she starts at 53 and

Her very first film role was in searchier

Leones what's about a time in America?

Really? Yeah, you know 1984. How would you like that to be your first gig now my joy?

I don't know which cut of what's about a time in America

She that's true. I think I've seen everyone, but yeah, that's crazy

Yeah, and then her first TV role was on night court in 1985 where she played easy Mary and elderly hooker who could forget easy Mary

But what of course the role that puts her in the map is Drew's Cassandra's mom is also called a cell

That character doesn't even show up in the series till episode 11 of season four

Yeah, I didn't read I read that when

They were sort of talking about her career and I did not realize that she's so baked into the success of that series

Absolutely, she was there from the beginning. She debuts as part of the contest

Wasn't actually listed as the number one sign fell episode and say we're doing the retrospectives and all that

It's pretty hard to beat that one

I'm not gonna do that joke
