Three's Company star, Joyce DeWitt who was well known for her role as Janet Wood, celebrated a little too much this past fourth of July. I decided not to show her horrible police mug shot. She looked like a scared frazzled deer in headlights, and sometimes I do have a heart. I think the vintage picture above from Three's Company is just as appropriate. The looks on their faces say it all.
I guess the police thought her driving past a barricade was a big no-no, and rightly so. And then I heard a few days later, that Eddie Mekka, 57, known for his role as Carmine Ragusa aka "The Big Ragu" who starred on the Laverne and Shirley show, was also arrested for DUI after he got in an accident. What on earth is going on people? Geez! Take a cab or have a friend drive you home for cripes sake.
DeWitt who is now 60, and has been very active in theatre and charity groups, over the years. I checked out her website, but wasn't very impressed. It is poorly made, with a skipping song loop, and she sells autographed pictures of herself for $25.00 plus shipping. I am not trying to be a biotch..... but I'll pass. Sorry!
