CDAN – This former A list co-star of a long-running NBC drama from the 90s was always known for being sexy and classy. Recently she was at a trendy L.A. eatery shoveling down not one, not two, but three huge cheese and fixing-laden salads as though she were eating for two. She isn’t. For her eating frenzy that day she wore baggy gray sweats and yellow sneakers. After eating and paying, the tired-looking actress got up unsteadily from her table and let out two huge burps. She then staggered to her Volvo station wagon before driving off, leaving witnesses stunned.
Poor Kirstie. I wish she’d leave that cult of Xenu.
Cheers would be considered a comedy, though, wouldn’t it? Maybe someone from Law & Order, Homicide, ER or Seaquest?
I think it is Kirstie too. Didn’t the paps take a pic of her a while back stuffing her face w/a burger or hot dog IN A STATION WAGON?? Otherwise why mention the car?
how about ally mc beal’s calista flochars, she was always skin and bones.
that was on fox
ok back to the drawing bored, how about someome from la law or law and order
board
Kirstie was on a comedy and Ally McBeal was on Fox.
My guess is Julianna Margulies. ER.
Julianna is currently on The Good Wife and looks amazing.
The only other A lister from ER would have been Sherry Stringfield.
I’m thinking LA Law, which started 80s but was long-running well into the 90s. Both Susan Dey and Michele Greene would have been A list back in it’s prime.
The only thing that makes me think its not one of the L&Os is that they lasted beyond the 90s.
I still think this points to Kirstie Alley, with Cheers being the sitcom/series…
Except the clue says drama and when was the last time Kirstie was considered classy?
When she wasn’t talking like a sailor.
Cheers is much older than the 90′s.
Touche on the drama, and on the age of the series. *sigh* Guess I’m in denial, ’cause, otherwise, it means I’m older than I think, too!
Shoot, I could probably eat 3 salads too. Now if you;d said burgers, that might’ve been cause for concern.
I know! The Hollywood salads are prob really small and b! tch was hooongrey!
hahhaha!
I bet she’s preggers or stoned. In either case who cares…at least it was salads. Mmmm….i want salad laden with cheese and fixins
Heather Locklear
i can see her doing this for sure
Maura Tierney, ER, mourning the cancellation of her new show on ABC, in the Billards Room, with the candlestick.
She’s coming back from cancer; not sure she would be eating like that but then again if she was feeling like cr*p for so long maybe it’s good to really chow down!
But what I don’t get is staggering. You stagger after you’ve really hit the feed bag? I don’t. and sweats and yellow sneakers were in there which makes me wonder if there’s recent photos of someone dressed like that. And who drives a Volvo station wagon? My guess is someone with kids.
There’s been a lot of press about her this fall (probably due to cancer and TV show). She looks different from the 90s, but maybe industry people would know. The article I read about her said she had the aggressive cancer, had the surgery and has been on a drug for a couple of months. She didn’t mention the drug, but based on her age, it could be Tamoxifin or any of the chemo prevention drugs..which have a few side effects. One is weight gain and sometimes hunger…that said…if it was her and her show got cancelled, it could be emotional eating… she’s still pretty new to having survived the cancer (she talks about how lucky she feels) and it sounds like she has a lot going on. She discussed a boyfriend but I don’t know if she has kids. Volvo’s are a family car, but some of them are eco friendly and one of my friends without kids has one. Any woman who has ever gained weight knows that sweat pants are a sure sign it’s time to go to the gym.
Nah it’s not Maura Tierney. I stood right near her for a while in September at an event. She looked good and seemed really normal, healthy and healthy. If you didn’t know she’d had cancer, you wouldn’t know she’d had cancer. Also she looked pretty fit, if a little thin.
“Healthy and Happy” sorry for the typo! Haha.
I don’t think she is really considered A-list, even in TV. B-list is more like it.
Sherry Stringfield from ER?
It’s got to be someone from ER.
Per Wiki:”It aired on NBC from 1994 to 2009, and ran for 15 seasons becoming the longest-running primetime medical DRAMA in American television history.”
Problem is, I never watched it so I don’t know which female character was CLASSY!
Hate to say it, but Juliana Marg. possibly ..re: it says “witnesses” at the end.
FIRST TIME POSTER!! HI ALL!
Welcome, Adog! Love, BG
Well, at least it was about an actress EATING for a change. Sheesh.
hee hee!!!
true dat.
Are you from the Who Dat Nation???
You know, if it was a regular salad nobody would have said anything. But she had to have the BIG SALAD…
(sorry, couldn’t help it)
Plus, when is eating too much salad a bad thing. I’ve been on Weight Watchers for years and I remember my group leader saying one time when someone asked what the limit was for fruit intake each day, “Honey, I’ve never had anyone call me crying at midnight because they can’t stop eating fruit.”
I keep looking at this picture and thinking of the episode of Friends where Rachel makes a trifle but the pages of the cookbook are stuck together so she has ground beef and onions mixed in with berries, pudding and cake.
Seriously, my guess is Alex Kingston off ER.
Isn’t she on, like, Dr. Who now? I don’t watch it but I’ve been led to believe this is the case.
She’d be considered a semi-regular at best on Who. Her character is designed for special appearances. However, she’s still sexy and classy.
Def. not A-list
Hmmm….maybe Allison Janney or Stockard Channing from ‘The West Wing’?
Like I said, salads small for 20 bucks a pop, she was hooongrey!
now, wait – was the golden girls 80s or 90s? cuz i’m feeling betty white here. that girl can pack it away.
Enty prolly created this blind basing off a pap photo. It’s not that he/she got real sources.
What about Julia Louis-Dreyfus, I would consider her sexy and classy, and Elaine was fond of the big salad in Seinfeld!
Aha! This is the only one I’ve read so far that comes close to fitting all the clues. I think you’ve nailed it!
Jennifer Gardner. She was in Alias and she drives a volvo. I could picture her in yellow sneaks, too.
*Garner. grr.. no edit button?
Alias ran from 2001 thru 2006 and was on ABC. Jennifer Garner doesn’t fit the clues.
This post makes me sad. The actresses get slammed if they don’t eat – now they get slammed because they do eat – and it’s not as if she was eating pizza’s, sundaes, and bacon cheeseburgers – she was eating salad (which if you’ve ever been on a diet, know that while it’s filling, it’s not emotionally filling).
If you’re a woman in the public eye you just have to be perfect all the time. I don’t care who this blind is – she was obviously having a bad day and I certainly can understand emotional eating and wanting to wear baggy sweat pants.
I happen to know that people who have eating disorders, or borderline eating disorders might sometimes indulge in a binge. (yes, even salad binges). For these you wear baggy trousers and afterwards you feel unsteady and dizzy. I guess it was someone who was known for being very trim all the time. Also this doesn’t necessarily mean she isn’t still trim now….
exactly what i was thinking
hello!
OMG I don’t have a guess, but that picture of that salad looks AMAZING!
LOL! Google ‘layered salad’ for a good old-fashioned Midwestern staple….
That woman needs help, stat. Gray sweats and yellow sneakers? Ghastly!
Gail O’Grady from NYPD Blue? She fits the sexy and classy clue.
NYPD BLue was on ABC – the blind clearly says NBC as the network
Hey guys, just because it is a salad doesn’r mean its healthy or low in calories. Salads with all the toppings and a ton of dressing can easily be more calories than a burger. If she ate 3, she could have consumed 4,000-6,000 calories in one meal, enough for 3 days.
Yea, that would be the signs of a serious problem.
why is that a ‘serious problem’? it’s just a lot of calories.
Stuffing yourself with 3 days worth of food in one sitting is “just a lot of calories” to you? No, unless you’re a bear preparing for a 3 month hibernation, then this is a serious problem.
Why do people think that only cheeseburgers will make them fat? It is as if they think salads are magical and if they put dressing full of fat, cheese and meat on there it somehow won’t count because there is also lettuce present.
Salads are a lot more nutritional than burgers, regardless of the calorie count.
Like some others, I’m thinking Kirstie Alley, on this one. hey, at least it was salads!!!! Could have been worse…. Burp, oops excuse me!
does it really matter how many salads she can pack away? who really cares? good appetite, good for you… and even if it were three burgers, WHO CARES? what someone eats really should be of no concern to anyone else… no one is forcing the rest of the eatery to keep up or follow suit, so eat as much as you want, Lady…. just saying
Ditto. I have a very thin family member who usually eats healthy and then about once a month gets a craving for a big grilled cheese sandwich and one or two pieces of apple pie with ice cream If you saw her out on that day, you’d think…bulemia…and I don’t recommend hanging out with her for the next 4 hours since she’s lactose intolerant to some extent.
Not sure what the staggering implies…maybe the clothese and staggering indicate a drug problem… and I didn’t get it.
What about Sela Ward from NBC’s Sister’s? She was always known as classy and sexy, and she won an Emmy (A list?). Also, no matter who this turns out to be: just because she ate 3 salads doesn’t mean she digested 3 salads.
I like this guess.
OK when it come to sexy & classy I have to go with Conchata Ferrell on L.A Law.
Not so much with the A list, but I can see her munchin down on 3 salads with all the fixins’ all the while wearing yellow sneakers…..lol
Kirsty and salad go together like Paris and virgin….. no clue but it’s nice to hear someone in follywood eats!
Jennifer Garner drives a Volvo XC90.
Alias was on ABC in the ’00s.
Shelley Long?
3 whole salads? What a pig!
Seriously though, if being hungover and scoffing food is blind vice worthy id like to know where i can collect my ticket to the blind vice superstars section!
Sela Ward from “Sisters”, great guess. Or maybe her co-star, Swoozie Kurtz? I remember that show well, and it introduced George Clooney to me. He he played Sela’s husband and a policeman who died when someone bombed his car. I particularly appreciated his gorgeous head of hair. He still does it for me!
Sheila Kelley from L.A. Law?????
My first thought was Law & Order, so I’m guessing Angie Harmon
Maura Tierney joined the cast of ER in late 1999/early 2000. And I don’t think NewsRadio classified her as an A-list actress. Highly doubt it’s her.
