The Eldest Celebrity Still Makes Me Blush

There's only 10 days left of my 4th Annual Save Second Base event.  We had another contest winner last night when Justin Turner hit the first double of the 2020 World Series.  All contest prizes will ship the first week of November.

Today we will look at teenage crush of mine, Laura San Giacomo

In my teen years I fell in love with the character Maya Gallo from the sitcom, Just Shoot Me.

Her geeky and smart business look coupled with a set as big as my head caused me to go through many VHS tapes prior to being an adult. I taped a lot of episodes just to watch "Maya".

Laura's character was the star of the show and as the series progressed and aged, Laura got more sexy in each season.

She reached her peak in Season 3 in my opinion

Slow Donnie is one of my favorite episodes.  The entire series is available for streaming on Hulu.

One of her first theatrical releases was playing the friend of Julia Roberts' character in Pretty Woman

I don't think she ever had a modeling career

But that was an opportunity wasted for many photographers.

She also appeared in Stephen King's miniseries The Stand

 One of her more recent regular roles was a recurring character on Saving Grace.

 She played the role of Rhetta Rodriguez.

She has also recently appeared in two seasons of NCIS in 2018.

Back in 1989 she appeared opposite Tom Selleck in Quigley Down Under

The soon to be 58 year old began studying acting at Carnegie Mellon School of Drama in Pittsburgh back in 1984.

That same year a monthly publication would be released featuring a former Pittsburgh Pirate.  While the printed form of the magazine isn't as significant as it once was, the name is still very much a part of our hobby.

I own a few issues of Beckett, but I own only one set of printing plates used to produce a cover to it.

This is the magenta printing plate used to produce the cover to the December 2013 issue of Beckett Baseball.
