My acting career pretty much begins with an appearance as Sergeant-Major Morris in The Monkey's Paw and ends with my role as Dr. Green from this story. No, I was not in the movie. I was in a stage play version and the kiss that gave me a fatal heart attack was the first kiss I ever had from a non-family member girl. She said I tasted like a chili dog. A much cuter blonde girl offered to give me lessons after the play (and some mints).
Inspired by The Second Face, this was written by Joan Rivers and Agnes Gallin It was directed by Lee Phillips, who starred in Peyton Place and also made The Stranger Within and The Spell. It was the ABC Movie of the Week, first airing on November 6, 1973.
It's also Stockard Channing's first movie and she's Miriam Knight, an intelligent young lady who is overlooked because of, well, her looks. Her roommate grows jealous when Miriam gets the lead in a stage play, so she sneak attacks her with roses. Miriam's allergies send her running from the stage and into an accident which changes her looks and life forever.
Once the bandages come off her face, she's a totally new girl. One who is now willing to do whatever it takes to get revenge - murderous revenge - on everyone who has ever wronged her.
The Girl Most Likely To... has a great cast, such as Ed Asner, Jim Backus, Joe Flynn from McHale's Navy, Chuck McCann (a voice of a ton of animated characters), comedy magician Carl Ballantine, Fred Grandy from The Love Boat, CHiPs star Larry Wilcox, future director Dennis Dugan and the man who would be Captain America and Yor Hunter from the Future, Reb Brown.
This is a comedy, but man, it's a really dark one. How was my school allowed to put this play on?
