Aunt Cissy

My, she's changed. The years haven't been kind.

From the picture the OP shared, that is no cis-Aunt!

Hey, Cissy had it hard. Having to care for her orphan siblings in a NYC penthouse with an absent uncle, all the while trying to be a 1960s teenager with a gay British butler watching your every move.

"Look, Mr. French, I won't tell Uncle Bill about the boys you bring home if you won't tell about the boys I bring home. "

Anissa sends her love.

And $1.89

Take that journey...what bullshit.

I’ll pay if Zombie Buffy can be a character.

Oh dear Lord in heaven.

[quote]"Cissy" hit the big time as a teenager in New York City, [bold]becoming one of the top models and actresses of her generation[/bold]. Now she lives in Los Angeles, and is about to retire from show biz in order to live a new, adventurous life roaming the world with her fiance, hot shot film producer, Robert, when who should show up on her doorstep but her twin niece and nephew, needing a place to stay! Will she leave town and lead a life of adventure, or will she give up her plans and stay with her family?

Aunt Cissy? The man in OP’s video seems more like an Uncle Bottom to me.

She's no Auntie Mame.

They were going to make "Uncle Jody," but couldn't secure financing for a horror film.

It's Auhnt Cissy...not Ant Cissy.

I met Kathy Garver at a fundraiser/gala event a couple of years ago and she one of the nicest people I've ever met. I was sitting beside her at the table and throughout dinner we talked non-stop. I kept thinking she looked familiar. Finally, they called her up to the podium to give an award and that's when I realized who she was. When she sat down at the table again, we talked about her career, etc. Too nice.

Is the e-beggar in the video stoned?

Posted here five years ago ...

[quote]I was in this interactive murder-mystery show -- lots of audience participation -- and she was brought in to bring a "name" to the show.

[quote]From the beginning, we could tell she was a loon. Just very dramatic, showing off her little boy's headshot, bitching about this lawsuit against Haim Saban (who ripped her off from royalties, etc).

[quote]Anyway, rehearsals were tough, because the directors were always trying to throw us curveballs as they prepared us to be in front of the audience.

[quote]One day, Kathy says to me, "I've got a bit of a headache" and on we go with rehearsal. The directors were actually being a bit tough on me and some of the other actors, not Kathy, but she suddenly runs offstage!

[quote]The director sends the stage manager backstage to see if she's OK and we continue.

[quote]All of a sudden we hear this bloodcurdling scream, "MOMMY!!! I WANT MY MOMMY!!!! AAHAHHAHAA!!!" It was unreal.

[quote]Needless to say, the director sent us outside for a bit.

[quote]We came back in, there's Kathy, sitting in the audience, eating a bear claw (I'll never forget that). After a minute, she came back onstage and said to me, "Well, my headache is gone."

[quote]They fired her the next day.

[quote]The stage manager told me later that when he went backstage, Kathy was lying on the ground in a fetal position and when he went to touch her to see if she was OK, she jumped up and stared past him as if he wasn't there. And then she started to scream for her mommy.

[quote]It's probably the most bizarre experience I'd ever had in the theater (and there have been a few!).

[quote]we could tell she was a loon.

She was fine.

Looks like Cindy Williams of Laverne & Shirley is also in the cast. Playing the kooky next door neighbor, perhaps?

The whole thing looks cheap, cheap, cheap and will never see the light of day, thank God.

A gofunmdme campaign for a washedup-up sitcom star.

r15, you read my mind. A reboot similar to what they did with the Banana Splits, featuring that most iconic of creepy dolls.

The cash beggar does seem stoned. The premise really is a "who cares".

But he would attend the opening of an envelope for one of his friends.

If hunky Gary Cole as Unca Bee-yoll and Tim Curry as Mr. French couldn't manage to resurrect Family Affair...

Why is Joaquin Phoenix promoting this disaster?

I used to have nightmares about Mrs. Bradley and Buffy. That relationship have me the creeps.

^^Beasley, damn you autocorrect. BEASLEY!

No.

Looks more like Uncle Sissy to me.

What's he saying at the 0:20 mark in OP's clip? "You know that I "score" my friends?"

What's that mean?

[quote] What's he saying at the 0:20 mark in OP's clip? "You know that I "score" my friends?"

He gets a bit tongue-tied. He says, "If you know me, you know I support my friends."

Thanks, R26. I thought it was a drug reference.

I love the opening theme song to Family Affair. So calming.
