Heather Thomas

What can one say about Heather Thomas. She was a babe, a fantasy, a wet dream. Men all over the world tuned into the opening credits for television's "The Fall Guy" to see Heather in that sexy bikini. They stayed tuned in with the hopes that Heather would wear one during the show. She was the hard body to end all hard bodies.

"The Fall Guy" was a wonderful show starring Lee Majors, Douglas Barr the second, and... Heather Thomas in tight clothes. It ran from 1981 to 1986 and was about a Stunt Man (Majors) who also did bounty hunting to pay the bills. It was a very big hit.

The first season also starred Jo Ann Pflug (odd name that) as Samantha "Big Buck" Jack. She was a tall woman with big hair and big breasts... but next to Heather, not a main course, or even really a dessert. She seemed a bit mannish in the role and was soon gone. No fault to her! On her own, not a bad fantasy girl. Next to the Heather of that time... nah. Sorry.

Jo Ann was replaced by Markie Post who played Terri Shannon/Michaels. Markie definitely fit in better than did Jo Ann, but it was not until she was seen in a bikini on the show that men realized that Markie actually had a sexier body than Heather did!. The little pink number that Markie wore one episode... I still think about to this day.

Markie hung around until 1985... and the next season the show was canceled. We all know that Markie went on to a pretty darned good career in television and movies... and did lots more work than Heather.

Heather Thomas was a cock tease. She is probably still a cock tease Markie Post always played the innocent girl (and she had that sexy innocent look too) despite having an outstandingly sexy body. Markie was one of those natural sexy girls who didn't have to DO anything to be a sexy girl. Heather, on the other hand, made a point to play it sexy. She teased the hell out of us men with shots like the one above and on "The Battle of the Network Stars"... where she was wet and almost visible all the time.

Note: I really miss "Battle". All the female celebs wore the same blue one piece swimsuit that almost ALWAYS showed their nipples (and bush too!) when wet. Lord! I miss that show!

Despite the wet blue swimsuit Heather would not do nudity in film. In fact, she is quoted as saying: "I won't take my clothes off because I can't believe it's necessary. You can be sexy with your clothes on just as well as you can by taking off your blouse." Well, that might be true... up to a point. Then people (men) are going to finally get fed up with being teased and will stop watching you.

Men did get tired of waiting... and women didn't like Heather's acting. Despite having a strong career in the 80's Heather's career drooped in the 90's. She also got skinny. That weird "coke" like skinny that makes my skin crawl. I don't know if it was drugs or just working out too much... or perhaps not being able to afford food. To me she lost her appeal and I never looked back.

 Heather's last (apparent) effort was in 1998's "My Giant" (with Billy Crystal). If you don't remember her in it... don't sweat it. She played a "showgirl" that was barely in the flick. Her last starring role was in 1993... a bad film called "Hidden Obsession" (AKA Rage). She played it sexy in that one too... with some interesting tight clothed scenes. But no real nudity.

She did the "My Giant" and "Against the Law" after that... very small roles. Basically, she has been "Left for Dead" in a big way.

So... bye bye Heather. Thanks for the wet dreams and the sticky carpet.

Where is she now:  (07/02/2008)
I do know that she tried to sell a TV Pilot to UPN in 2000, aptly named "School Slut". UPN (GASP!) didn't buy it.
