Life Goes On

Just in case you could never get enough of that goddamn “Obladee, Obladah, Life goes On” song by The Beatles, this show of the same name made sure you got a healthy dose of it every time the opening credits ran. The 1993 family drama enjoyed a five year run and several award nominations (including Golden Globes) for its sensitive portrayal of the Thatcher family and their Downs-Syndrome stricken son Corky (Chris Burke), who managed to fit in at a normal high school despite his disadvantages. Depending on your point of view, the show was either a brilliantly heartwarming family drama or an overly-sentimental load of sugar-coated pap. One thing that can’t be denied, however, is that Kellie Martin, who played the geeky-yet-cute teen daughter Becca Thatcher, has certainly grown into a curvaceous knockout. Kellie, who got her start in acting at age eleven, went on to star in a slew of TV movies and enjoyed a two year run as Doctor Lucy Knight on NBC’s ratings monolith ER. Sadly, she has yet to make a move toward uncovering her comfortable-looking corkies, but co-star Pattie LuPone, who played mama Thatcher, also had her flapjacks snacked upon during a bit of couch sex in Spike Lee’s Summer of Sam. Meanwhile, gorgeous brunette Kiersten Warren has given us a sexy sneak-peek in Liberty Heights and Painted Hero.
