Robyn Lively

from You Might Know Her From · host Damian Bellino & Anne Rodeman

It's our finest hour and we're never gonna be the same again because we are topping that (unusual for us). We are here with actress, Halloween icon, and "the most popular girl" Robyn Lively. You Might Know Her From Teen Witch, Into the Dark: They Come Knocking, 30 Rock, Cobra Kai, Wildcats, Twin Peaks, Savannah, The Karate Kid Part III, and Through the Glass Darkly. Obviously we got all the scoop from Robyn about headlining cult fave Teen Witch, why it hasn't been revived, why there were musical numbers, the Rita Wilson of it all, and how it translated into a horror-adjacent career for her in later years. We also talked about Robyn sinking her teeth into the role of a smalltown lesbian in the indie Through the Glass Darkly, growing up in a showbiz family and getting emancipated from her parents, donning Tina Fey's wig for the iconic 30 Rock "Reunion" episode, and rubbing elbows with Aaron Spelling. And Fuzzbucket. Happy Halloween, little gourds, we hope you love this one!  Follow us on social media: @damianbellino || @rodemanne Discussed this week: Fruit by the Foot Travelocity gnome "negging" Mystery the Pickup Artist  Taylor Swift bisexual conspiracy theory Madonna came out on TikTok  Rosie has cellulitis on her face Our celesbian chart Velma is a lesbian  Former guest Mindy Cohn was voice of Velma for 10 years Linda Cardellini is hot  Women who are crossovers for lesbians and gay men: Julie Andrews, Olivia Newton John, Dolly Parton, Pam Anderson, Jennifer Grey Through the Glass Darkly (Writer/director: Lauren Fash) Karate Kid III and Cobra Kai  Married to Bart Johnson (High School Musical) Currently Guest starring on 911: Lone Star Was on reunion ep of 30 Rock where she got to wear Tina Fey's SNL wig Started in Aaron Spelling WB show, Savannah Turned down role of Andrea Zuckerman in original 90210 Starred opposite Jason Priestley (whom she also dated) in Teen Angel Returns Teen Witch (1989) and Robyn's performance as Louise is iconic (tho Debbie Gibson did audition) Is Rita Wilson in Teen Witch?
