I haven't seen her play in anything else.. have you, Dawn? (Remember her? The blonde sister to Tracey Gold from Growing Pains)

I liked Benson, never really liked Soap. But "One Day At A Time" was the best! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif

What an all time classic this was. I loved the conflict that went on between the Benson, Kraos and Clayton.

Here's a little Benson trivia for you.

Which two Benson characters went on to have regular roles in Star Trek TV series? What characters did they play?

I know that Rene Auberjonois, you played Benson's nemesis, Clayton Endicott III, played Odo on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine .

:)

My fave character was the dour housekeeper, Ms. Kraus. I loved the sarcastic exchanges between her and Benson...

That is true 80sTrivia, but there was also another Benson character who went on to play a major character in a Star Trek TV series.

Didn't the actor who played Governor Gatling, James Noble, portray a Star Fleet commander or something? I can't think of anyone else... :cool:

I loved this show and would never miss it! I just loved the exchange between Benson and Krause, they were hilarious! :lol: I sometimes thought there was a little more there, didn't you?

I loved Ms. Kraus!!! She has my first name!!! Back when that show was on, I was the only Gretchen in Mayfield. No one knew any Gretchen's...and I was always bummed...until this show was on...then I learned sarcasm from her. (Yes, at a young age!!!)

I thought the same thing! It was a real love/hate relationship going on between those two. I think they were secretly meeting in the linen closet for a little action to release all that sexual tension... :eek:

Alright 80sTrivia, just can't keep my mouth shut any longer.

The other Benson character who went on to a major role in a Star Trek show, was Pete Downey (Ethan Phillips) and went on to star as Neelix in Star Trek Voyager. (Remember Pete, the annoying nerdy fellow who Benson couldn't stand?)

I used to think Benson was great, although I can't remember a single episode now.

I used to think Soap was very good too.

Wow, that was Neelix?!? I would have never known. I guess all that makeup threw me off the trail!!! I was never a big fan of Voyager, and I only watched it ocassionally. :)

I LOVED Benson. The interaction between the characters is fabulous. They got it right from the beginning.:D

That was a great show! I too loved the banter between Benson and Kraus. It always freaked me out when I saw her on interviews, because she is American and doesn't actually have an accent.
Recently, Lifetime did a bio on Tracey Gold. Most of her family participated, but Missy was nowhere to be found. I guess she doesn't want anything to do w/ the media anymore.
