When I watched her in Little Darlings...I thought her face reminded me alot of Britney Spears...you can see alot of similarities to Kristy and Britney.

NOOOOOO....please don't insult Kristy like that.

I had a crush on her when I was a wee lad...

You don't think they look alike? Plus...their lives are similiar....they had very pushy mothers...who also pushed their siblings in to the spotlight...and then they started to crack under the pressure....their fans over whelmed them.

Kristy McNichol just wanted to live a "normal" life...

I hope she is doing good.

I don't see the Britney similarity at all, maybe a bit Sally Field-ish, I don't know.

I think if you look at their face...they look alot alike...don't look at their hair..

Kristy didn't crack she was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder

She's maniac depressive too....but it was definately triggered by the constant hounding of the press and not having any privacy, I watched her whole interview on Entertainment Tonight on you tube...

My husband and I were talking about that tonight...about how...if every single move you made was constantly on the front page of the papers...no matter how trivial it was...that would drive you crazy...

We were at the car wash tonight...and I was thinking about what if you were famous...and there were a billion people just standing their with cameras...just waiting for you to come out of the car wash...so they could snap your picture...they wait for every move you make...

I really think that it should be illegal to do that to people...I honestly think that celebities should be entitled to go to dinner and be left alone. I think I would go crazy...crack....develop a mental disorder...all of that stuff...if I was under a microscope constantly.

Just seeing Corey Haim...made me totally think
about why anybody would want to be famous....money only gets you stuff...after so much money-you can only buy so much stuff...and that doesn't make you "genuinely" happy....so I have never understood wanting to be famous. The pressure has to be so hard.

I was watching an interview with Karen Carpenter...and was thinking about the stuff that celebrities all go through...and it doesn't seem like alot of fun...when it comes down to it.

In those 2 pics I can see it a little bit. Mainly in the eyes. I do also see a bit of a young Sally Field.

I don't see a similarity at all.......
 
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
 
Looking at the hair or not looking at the hair, I just don't see it. Sorry.
 
Posted by Muffy Tepperman (Member # 1551) on :
 
Same here.........not at all!!

Totally Sally Field though...... [Smile] haha
 
Posted by kevdugp73 (Member # 5978) on :
 
We had pay per view when I was a kid in the 80's....so I saw The Pirate Movie many many...too many times. And ISIS....I do see the similarity.
 
Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
 
It's weird who sees it and who doesn't....I wonder if there's a connection to it all?

What do you mean, connection? I just don't see it. Dang.

a picture of a young Sally Field...........wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more of a Brittney lookalike [Wink] haha

I think Sally Field looks like Katie Holmes in that picture, not Britney.

The pictures of Britney that I think look like Kristy are all the candid pictures I have seen of her....all the made up pictures...I don't even think they look alike in them.
 
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
 
I see as much resemblance to Katie Holmes in this pic than I do a young Sally Field.......

Posted by Muffy Tepperman (Member # 1551) on :
 
That made me laugh Motley......I could probably find a resemblance to Sally Field in your own mugshot Motley,haha [Smile]

Honest....Kristy has such a harsh "tough girl" look to her......almost "tomboy"......not just her character in Little Darlings, but anything she was in

I always got Helen Hunt and Jodi Foster confused with eachother when I was little........who else though they looked alike?
 
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
 
Kristy always struck me as being that one girl in high school who was into fixing cars and took auto mechanics dunno why......
 
Posted by Muffy Tepperman (Member # 1551) on :
 
haha no I get ya........she'd so be under the hood of a car.........maybe making a spice rack in shop class smoking a cigarette? haha
 
Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
 
Here's a better picture of Kristy then:

Posted by TKO (Member # 1471) on :
 
I always thought so too Nowheregirl.

Maybe not so much in these pictures, but on screen they look so alike, one would think they are sisters.

Infact, I think I once checked on IMDb, just to make sure.

I said that the first time I saw her, it might have been the movie "Deep Impact".....She looked exactly like Helen Hunt in "Quarterback Princess".

The other day my daughter was at a friends house and I was channel surfing and PIRATE MOVIE was gonna come on in a few minutes. I was like "Cool...I'll watch THAT...not the Greatest Movie In The World but I have always loved Kristy McNichol"...and then seconds before it started my daughter got home and screwed up me plan!

I THINK it was the FMC channel...if you guys wanna check to see if they are playin' it again anytime soon.

I love Kristy McNichol...especially in LITTLE DARLINGS.
 
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
 
I definitely see the Hunt/Sobieski look alikes. Leelee can be pretty when she fixes herself up lol......

Anybody got a pic of Kristy in a pair of greasy coveralls with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth? Guess this will have to do for now......

Haha....looks like she can kick a$$.

Yeah she probably just got done changing somebody's oil in this pic......
 
Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
 
She drove the bus in Little Darlings, so I'd say your probably right on the changing oil stuff.

Hmmmm...I think I sort of modeled myself after Kristy McNichol in LITTLE DARLINGS as a teenager, mixed with a shot of Joan Jett.
