Laura Branigan

The funny "stowaway story", arrested at "age 17", on the ship SS France, which Rick incorrectly called the "Norway" headed to France. (The SS France, the longest cruise ship ever built until 2004, was decommissioned in 1974, but the SS Norway wasn't built until 1980)) Aired 2/16/1985

Ummm... According to Atlantic Records, sure. Of course, then you can't acknowledge Meadow. Hard to explain making a record in 1972, released in 1973 at age 15, when the first time she sang on stage was playing Babe in The Pajama Game, her senior year in high school.

This was 1985. Most of the age difference is probably the fact that the film is so grainy, The contrast is higher, so she's not completely bleached out. You see shadows as wrinkles, etc. She was 32 here. As most Irish, she looks younger than her years.

I agree, to both! Really cute story, and her reaction to it. And her character, just such a true person. Generous to a fault. That's why I'm posting everything. I don't believe she'd appreciate holding stuff back, or using it for any kind of gain. Thank you, so much, for remembering her with us!

Yes,yes... probably the best and funniest storey about Laura ever. Look how she reacts on the handcuffs :D She'd always shown her real emotions, that's why we love her; always so natural, always honest to the public.
