I loved CBML too.
I liked Amanda too. She had acting talent and the all-american blonde look many go gaga over. There were rumors online several years ago that she got hooked on meth at one point. Some photos (linked below) of her around that time with her daughter showed her looking kinda rough, so maybe it was true.
Anyway, RIP Amanda.

Year in the Life was one of the best drama series ever on television.
The theme song was also one of the greatest. Gor-jus!
Amanda was prodigiously talented in it. This is one of my favorite scenes from the show; it gives you a sense of how impeccable the writing was. Wendy Phillips absolutely kicked ass.

The problem with A Year In The Life was the timing.
They premiered as a series the same year as thirtysomething.
thirtysomething got more acclaim than Year in the Life.

As for Amanda looking "kinda rough" in the photo of her and her kid: Wrong. She looks [bold]quite[/bold] rough! Dying at 43 is extremely unusual unless drugs, alcohol, serious medical or mental illness, or foul play are involved.

Her mother talked to Entertainment Tonight - She insists her death wasn't related:
[quote]Amanda Peterson, who starred opposite Patrick Dempsey in the 1987 romantic comedy Can't Buy Me Love, was found dead at her Colorado home over the weekend, her mother Sylvia confirmed to ET.
Peterson allegedly passed away on Friday, though her body was not discovered in her Greeley, Colorado home until Sunday. Peterson’s death is still under investigation.
Peterson became a star after playing Dempsey’s romantic counterpart Cindy Mancini in the hit ‘80s makeover movie, but left the industry just a few years later. She had been living in Colorado for several years.
Peterson’s mother told ET that a basic toxicology test had been conducted on her daughter, but that the family was waiting on further reports to see if Peterson had any other medical conditions that may have contributed to or caused her death. She added that "this was not, in any way, a drug thing."
The rest of Peterson's family will be traveling to Colorado on Tuesday.

It actually isn't. Between central sleep apnea (which is brain based) and examples of obstructive sleep apnea where the obstruction is caused by an abnormality in the mouth/jaw/tongue area, plenty of people who aren't overweight suffer from it. Also, when I worked in medical records for a VA, we had a lot of veterans of normal weight who had sleep apnea, some of which was brought on by exposure to chemicals. It is possible she did have sleep apnea even though she wasn't overweight.

R76 all I see is her mother trying to save face for her daughter in the press (as any decent parent would) - no evidence that she was in denial in real life.
It's a surprise in that she seemingly comes from a relatively normal stable family (long married parents, father a doctor); most fucked up child actors came from broken homes, or very dysfunctional ones, or most often had the pressure to be the breadwinner.
None of those seem to be the case here. So I wonder what caused her to snap and then just get worse and worse.
But I would guess that her troubles began and became well known in the business in the late 80s/early 90s, because she was working very steadily up until 1991, and then nothing (until that weird low budget movie). I highly doubt that was by choice.
That last mug shot is truly frightening. She was a cute enough teenager but the time she was actually really gorgeous was as a child - era Annie and Silver Spoons. Her face got a little long and horsey as she became a teen. And because this was 1987 she didn't have the big, no gums, perfectly white teeth that would be de rigeur today.
But all of this investigating by the rags makes me vaguely uncomfortable. After all, she's been a private citizen for over two decades. I mean, it's totally predicatable, and im predictably reading it, but something about it doesn't feel right.

Psychologists and doctors can be wrong - lobotomies, electro shock, etc. They have had a bad history in "treatment" of homosexuals. Their tendency, then and now is toward supporting the hetero norm. They can do this by supporting trans, which essentially supports male/female stereotypes. Plus there is the profit motive - hormones, operations, etc etc. Between that and the aggressive trans lobby, most are either afraid to speak out, or have a profit motive not to speak out, or can rationalize it with old stereotypes.
It was an important part of gay liberation to get away from doctors - trans depend on them.

Gorgeous, ethereal, luminous at her peak. One of my favorite actresses. When she was good, she was good. She could sing too. Should have had the lead. So adorable there. What a tragedy on so many levels. So talented. She should have had and been so much more. She got caught up on the dark side at some point and just never recovered. No love. No light. No warmth given to her. Taken care of and looked after when she was young. So many child star actors. Damn. Love this movie. She still had it in Windrunner. I like that movie too. It's a good final film appearance for her. LOVE "a year in the life". Her other film appearances are a little shaky. I have yet to see 4 of them. Those men killed her. She was so beautiful they had to have it and destroy it. The light. I know. It happened to me in NYC. Lost. Young. Hanging with Drew Barrymore, Corey Haim and shit. Partying. Getting fucked up. Late 80s. They had no idea what they were into. Looking for real connections and love. Instead just getting used up. Addicted. Getting beat. Constant hurt and hurt. Everybody just wants to fuck you. It's terrible. I see why she left Hollywood. What you gonna do? Then it fucks with your head and you are forever changed. You turn to the dark side too and try to beat them at their own game. Try to fit in. But we don't. Gotta find the light again. It's fucking tough. Rest in Peace sweet girl. That movie will never be the same. Watched it last night and then found this thread today. I'm glad she started communicating with Jesus and GOD before she left. That's wassup. She good then. Restored. 🙏😇🌞🔥🔥🔥❤ I hope we meet up on the other side.
