Image Credit: ABCI’m not very good with faces, PopWatchers, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen this woman pictured in these newspapers.* Which is weird, because, apparently, she’s so newsworthy, she’s been fodder for the papers for years — in shows like Married… With Children, That ’70s Show, Cougar Town, Desperate Housewives, and what looks like Worst Week. So what’s the deal? Is she a time-traveler? A witch? I’ll guess the latter, if only because Charmed‘s Brian Krause** has likely read the article about her. And he’s a Whitelighter, so he’s got to keep tabs on these things. [The High Definite]
*Special thanks to PopWatcher Karen, who passed this our way.
**I wish Brian Krause would inspect me like he is this newspaper.
I clicked on the headline and seriously was expecting “Mary Jane” to be tv’s most newsworthy woman without a face. I misunderstood…
She looks like a grown up Veruca Salt. I wonder what she did to get her lovely mug in the paper.
I read about this a few days ago on /Film, and a commenter said this: ”
I think this may have to do with the prop production houses in L.A. – places like ISS, Ellis Props (back in the day), etc. They have ready made newspapers you can buy for production use, and they use “filler” designs on the pages – hence the same back pages or inner pages and pictures being seen so much. It’s the same with prop money. You can see a particular design (and there are many) popping up in all sorts of movies and TV shows.”
But I like to think that this woman is just a timetraveler who is always newsworthy whenever she shows up in a particular time.
I figured that it was a prop that has been used over and over in differenct shows. If you look at these three pics, that woman is not the only constant: the headlines and other pics, even the layout is exactly the same.
My favorite is that Ed O’Neil reads the same paper in Married With Children & Modern Family. See here: http://thechive.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/great-randoms-mon-36.jpg?w=500&h=588
OMGoodness! Thanks for the laugh! The punchline was PERFECT!
She looks a lot like Karen Allen (Marion Ravenwood) to me.
That’s exactly what I was thinking!
There is no way that is NOT a picture of Karen Allen. It’s definitely her!
Yep… couldn’t remember her last name right away, but that’s what I was thinking too.
Maybe it was a side effect from Starman
Hahah @ your closing line. I miss Brian Krause !
Yea to all the geeks like me who are always looking for the little things in shows
good catch
She looks like Karen Allen or even Diane Keaton.
OMG! I never realized that it’s the same paper every character is reading! Must pay more attention next time I’m watching a show.
Quie interesting to try and find these things, I love it. Another one would be I was watching NCIS two weeks ago and the same license plate on Gibb’s charger as well as the following Safelife comercial on the guys van!
clearly she’s the only female observer who is constantly causing trouble in order to save the man she loves from impending doom. She and August would have a lot to talk about
Excellent reference.
