At the time, both programs were being run on
ABC-TV and Lindsay and Lynda were introduced during the normal course of
activities for the network. They liked each other immediately! They had
a great deal in common, since they were both new to the L.A. scene. So
business and mutual interests brought the two lovelies closer together. |
|
|
|
Then Lynda met a man. A tall, light
brown-haired man who was intelligent, clever, had good business sense,
and was extremely handsome. She told Lindsay all about him because he
offered to manage her career and be her guide. Lindsay mentioned that
she also knew a terrific light-brown haired fella who was a great
manager-and she was considering using him. Lynda's find was manager Ron
Samuels. Lindsay's find was also Ron Samuels! Who was going to get the
most clever - and good looking - manager in town on her side? Only time
would tell! |
|

|
Lynda wanted Ron as her manager and Lindsay
wanted him too! So here were two rising young starlets, both playing
similar type roles - that of superheroines - and both needing careful
career planning. They were, in fact, competing for the same group of TV
watchers and each needed Ron. Know who won `the battle of the manager" -
they both did! Ron Samuels became manager of both women and guided each
career in as individual and personalized way as possible. |

But Lynda got a little more than she
bargained for! She found herself failing in love with Ron! Oh, of
course, both women adored Ron, but Lynda's feelings were changing ever
so slightly each time she was with him! At first Lindsay thought Ron
might be favoring Lynda on a professional basis and this concerned her a
great deal. But when Lynda came up to her one day and said, "Ron and I
are going to be married!", Lindsay knew immediately that she had been
wrong to doubt Ron for a second. Besides, when it came to personal
matters, such as Lindsay's romantic life, she had already met her
husband-to-be, actor Michael Brandon! So Lindsay and Lynda buried their
doubts and became best of friends. |
|
|
|
They started hanging out together,
vacationing together, and sharing assorted show-biz experiences. When in
the midst of a busy work schedule, Ron and Lynda decided to marry and go
off to Hawaii for a week, Lindsay was the first to give the newlyweds a
gift. It was a framed, gold-plated spoon - and if that sounds like a
strange wedding gift, the story behind it is far stranger! |
|
|
|
When the ladies rented a cabin for a short
vacation, they traveled all the way to the hills only to find that the
place had no working plumbing or facilities (that's a nice way of saying
bathroom). So when nature called, they were forced to use the wild and
woolly outdoors! A spoon was used for the necessary "cover-up" - believe
it or not! So to remind her friend for a long time to come about that
cozy stay in the broken down cabin, Lindsay gave her this special little
spoon! |

What's the end of the "Bionic" clash? Well,
it goes like this. Lynda got Ron as husband and manager. Lindsay got Ron
as manager and Michael Brandon as her husband. And Ron got a new client
- Jaclyn Smith, the beautiful super-sleuth on Charlie's Angels! How will
the story end?-- happily, no doubt!! |
