Hot Slut Of The Day!

Christine Cromwell (as played by Jaclyn Smith) from ABC's mysteries series Christine Cromwell, which lasted about as long as a rhinestone's sparkle.

In the late 80s, ABC was all about mysteries and Christine Cromwell was one of the shows, along with the reboot of Columbo (???),  that took turns showing on Saturday nights. Christine Cromwell was a high society attorney who was as glamorous as Alexis Carrington's queef and as sophisticated as a burp out of a poodle's butt. Christine Cromwell was truly the Detective La Toya of her time, because she also got into solving mysteries when she wasn't defending the elite in court. She was what you would get if a brunette Krystle Carrington got a concussion and woke up thinking she was a cross between Jessica Fletcher and Jennifer Hart.

Since hos in 1989 just were way too behind to fully appreciate Christine Cromwell's mysterious sophistication, the show was murdered after 4 episodes. But it lives on with this hot intro:

That intro is so damn classy that it makes you feel like your asshole is made of cashmere.

I don't remember this show? I must have been watching Remington Steele. I wish Remington had been filmed in SF instead of LA. LA was just so ugly for that show. Sigh.

HAHAA!!! My Dad was in that!! We flew out to SF to visit him on the set, and I lost my 5yr old mind when I saw Sinead O'Connor in the lobby of our hotel.

Cagney and Lacey would have given her the side eye.

I love the intros when their names pop up and they do the "surprised turn around."

Classy Hollywood. Boy is that era over. We live in the age of too much information and narcissism.

MK, this is my fave hot slut in awhile. Love it!

Sigh. Jaclyn Smith was so fabulous back in the day, that hair! What I wouldn't give to be even the low-rent dollar store version of J. Smith. Instead of a network TV icon, I would settle for being the Jaclyn Smith of local cable access TV. Instead of owning a signature clothing brand at K-Marts nationwide, I would settle for having a signature line of scrubs at the Susie's Deals on Bristol Street in Santa Ana.

all those 80's shows started the same, and the same guy did the music, what was his name again, the theme song guy?

Mike Post? They did all sound alike.

LOL @ "crime styles of the rich and famous." And why SF? They wanted to film out of town?

Nothing beats the elegance of Morgan Fairchild drinking champagne in a hot tub. 1984's "Paper Dolls" will always be the most elegant show opening ever. Case closed.

Zero recollection of this show.

I have MANY holes in my pop culture education because our home didn't have a TV for a loooooong time. Then I went to boarding school in the middle of nowhere that had zero reception on the 17" TVs they had. And there were such better things to do. Imagine that.

Jaclyn Smith is one beautiful lady but positively one of the worst actresses ever.

Celeste Holm was great in All About Eve -- which happens to be one of my favorite movies. I just love the scene at the end when Addison Dewitt confronts Eve with all of her deceptions. It's pure cinematic delight!

How in the world have I been unaware of this glorious piece of glamor until this very moment? Thank you MK from the bottom of my little monacled heart!

Never found JS to be a good actress but damn, she was the best looking Charlie's Angel IMO - more naturally beautiful than Farrah, or even Cherly Ladd.

I miss the 80s! A lot of shit shows that were still awesome. What do we have now? Reality shows, singing competitions, fat people losing weight and stupid sitcoms.

Team 80s!

I love Celeste Holme! i've watched All About Eve too many times to count.

The best intro was Charlie's Angels.. hair flipping, pointing gun: FREEZE!

AT least the Oscars didn't forget Celeste Holm, the last remaining cast member of "All About Eve" who died last year and had great Bette Davis stories on the DVD commentary. (First day on the set and Celeste gives Bette a "Good morning!" and gets back a "Oh you're one of those type people? Well fuck you.")

Did Judith Krantz personally design this? It looks fantastic. I was not aware of it at all but I did love the original rumply Columbo.

O Ralph Bellamy. In the bygone days he was always the goofy boyfriend who never got the girl.

WELL Celeste Holm looks simply divine!
