Last night I watched Over the Hedge with the boys for the trillionth time..and got to thinking about the Long Career of Bruce Willis.  My kids aren't very familiar with him at all. They've only really seen him in the Last Die Hard Movie and of course loved it!  My oldest might have seen a few scenes from the Whole 9 Yards and his cameo appearance in Ocean's 12 but that's about it.  To them, he's really just the voice of RJ. 

 

I then remembered how it all started for him...as far as I can recall anyway.  He was David Addison, the reckless partner of Maddie Hayes (played by Cybil Shepard) on one of my favorite shows Moonlighting.

I LOVED that Show!!  But more than that, I loved the theme song...sung by Al Jarreau..

 

Born to poverty. Destined for stardom. He lived the American Dream.

I rented PeeWee's Big Adventure a few weeks ago. The boys are so funny.  They kept looking at PeeWee like "When is he going to stop talking like that?"  They really loved it though...and I forgot how good it was...for it's time.  Anyway, here's a classic clip for 80's Friday....

Most of today’s kids only know Robert Wagner as Number 2 in the Austin Power’s Trilogy but I remember him as the dashing Self made Millionaire Jonathan Hart married to the Gorgeous Jennifer Hart (Stefanie Powers)

I was a huge Fan of not only Hart to Hart but also of Wagner and Powers.  I’ll never forget Mom taking me to see both of them perform in Love Letters.  I think that just melded into my subconscious how real romance and marriage would be but nothing I lived ever seemed to compare to the Harts.

My favorite episode is when Freeway’s dog food is mistakenly swapped for pate that has been laced with drugs and you watch him go through withdrawal.
