Waiting for my dream girl

[a9127]

OK. One more and I've gotta get back to work.

Detective "Dori Doreau" from the TV series "Sledge Hammer" was also one of my earliest "celebrity crushes."

Played by Anne-Marie Martin, she was the very smart, cool, and confident partner to David Rasche's "Sledge Hammer" a parody of Clint Eastwood's "Dirty Harry." Even down to the .44 Magnum S&W Model 29 that he often talked to...

Too young to watch it when it was first on (1986), the series ran through 1988 or 1989. Extremely beautiful, "Dori" was an expert in martial arts and firearms, and good with computers. So is she "marriage material" or what?

That is a Commodore Amiga (I think) that's she's using. Notice the Joystick and mouse as well as the "dot matrix" printer behind her. Remember those?

Of course, in the first picture she's trying to call me about where we should go on our date. The only problem is 30+ years and that I have an iPhone now.

The last picture... Umm... What did I say about this in the post above?

(Fun facts: Anne-Marie is originally from Toronto. She was married to Michael Crichton--Andromeda Strain and Jurassic Park--I also have a book he wrote on computers and technology that my parents gave me for Christmas one year. Still have it in my office. She also raises horses and is an expert rider. Finally, she wrote the script for the movie "Twister" (1996) starring another "crush" Helen Hunt . The tornadoes scared the shit out of me. Little did I know we would eventually move to Indiana where tornadoes like that really do happen. The first "real" one I ever saw looked just like the scene where they are going down the road and release "Dorothy." It was black and came down suddenly. I thought it was awesome... )
