She supposedly came up with the idea for the show. And she auditioned for the part under a different name. Who knows if the casting directors knew who she was anyway.
And honestly I don’t think that show would have been as “good” without her. (Total cheese fest, but also a time capsule).
It’s hilarious if you watch it now, because they had to remove all the period music for syndication. They replaced it with some session musician music that still sounds period-accurate. Hats off to whomever wrote those tunes.
Pretty sure nepotism is mandatory for the entertainment industry.

The show runner for Mad Men cast his own son as 'Glen', and that kid was a terrible actor (he's an adult now obvs, so I consider his performance fair game for criticism).

John Wayne playing the Centurion at the foot of the cross of Jesus in The Greatest Story Ever Told. Surely dis was da Son o God
Matthew Mcconaghy in True Detective. That should have been French Stewart.
I like Jodie Foster mostly, but I'd still Rather see Stewart than whatever it was she did in that show.
