Favorite Classic Television Star: October 19th

 Laurette Spang
From: Favorite Hunks & Other Things

 Laurette Spang is best known for playing the socialator, Cassiopia romancing Starbuck (Dirk Benedict) in the sci fi show from the late 70's Battlestar Galactica. Call me crazy but I prefered Battlestar over Star Wars as a kid (although that changed since growing into an adult). One of the reasons might be my childhood crush on Laurette Spang. When I was about 10, our local television station used to play Battlestar repeats, long after ABC cancelled the series, on Sunday mornings. Laurette has not acted much lately, but was a fixture on network TV in the late 70's and early 80's showing up in the usual places like Charlie's Angels and the Love Boat. Laurette married John McCook (The Bold and the Beautiful) and has raised their three children. Recently it looks like Laurette might be returning to acting.
