Writers cruel to Judith

I thought the writers were mean to Judith Light with all the jokes about her lack of figure. I thought she was beautiful even if she was a bit flat-chested.

Specially, with a so busty mom like Mona-Katherine Helmond. The comparations were obvious and painfull.

I think Katherine had some work done. Boobs don't look that good at that age.

i dont think so. she looked do busty and voluptuous in soap, and in several movies an tv shows in the 70s and 60s.she has always been naturally big breasted.

I don't disagree; just think about who gets the guy at series' end, who had the eight year 'marriage', and, for the record, Danza took a shine to Light immediately. That, in itself, says volumes.

At least she had a good sense of humor about it. I think the point was that Angela was self-conscious about it, growing up with Mona and all, so they made a joke of it. I don't think writers were actually poking fun at Judith (who was and is gorgeous, btw =D).

Judith Light is an excellent actress and owned the part of Angela. Whatever the writers put down, she made it believable. She's an extremely attractive lady and I always thought she had a nice figure.

I thought the writers were mean sometimes, especially given the fact that Judith was so much better looking than Katherine. Katherine looked dumpy, and her hair was awful.
What's strange is how Judith looks so flat-chested here, but in the T.V. movie she starred in: "Men Don't Tell" she looks rather busty in it.
I suspect she is like a lot of women: her boobs get bigger and smaller as her weight fluctuates.
And let's face it, she was quite slender in "WTB".

Nope. Kath had a much better look than her daughter. She was beautiful, atractive and with a great body and so busty.

[–] fiatlux-1 14 years ago

I thought Mona looked trashy most of the time, not sexy. And BOTH were victims of bad 80's hair.
And her teeth were scary, but then Angela's were too when she bared them ha!

Totally desagree. She didnt look trashy, only sexy and atractive. The hair is debatable, althought i think that her hair is fantastic, but her teeth were beautiful, as the rest of her face.
