Who could not have fallen in love with Lauren Tewes? For the role she was cast in, it seemed she was born to play it. She totally sold it. I made it a point not to miss The Love Boat during the 80's. It had such a cheerful vibe. It is missed.
Lauren, or Cindy as she was called when young, lived in a small town in PA w her parents and older brother, Tommy, and sister, Taffy. Her maternal grandparents lived next door. Cindy was a beautiful child, sweet to everyone, and gathered much adoration in return. Her family was a good, loving one, always ready to help a neighbor. When the weather got too much for the elderly grandparents, , they moved to CA. Their daughter, Joann, missed her mom so much that the Tewes' moved to CA to be w them, and the charismatic "Lauren" became an actress. Some years later, her birth town's folks invited her back for the town's anniversary celebration, her being a celebrity. Whether she didn't respond or turned it down, I don't know. Small town ppl, who rarely get favorable opportunities, did not take the rebuff lightly and were also unsympathetic when the news came that she was broke bc the money she earned during her TV career had gone up her nose. You say she was alone, but I know she had at least 2 older siblings, and all three kids were close in age. Wondering where her family was during that time? It was very hard to imagine Lauren not having a group of supporters around her at all stages bc she was the kind of child who, if she fell while sidewalk skating, every mom wi crying range ran outside to assess the damage and comfort her. I guess kids who have worse beginnings may have tougher skin and more resilience when it comes to taking care of themselves. It is, as you say, sad to have had so much and turned to drugs to cope w a lose. Does anyone know what became of Tommy and Taffy, or if she had younger or half/step siblings? Btw, her last name is pronounced "Twees" as in Tweeze(rs) to rhyme w "Trees."
This story would be more believable to me if you could pronounce her last name correctly, I grew up around the corner from her family, was in boy scouts with her brother so I know the last name is pronounced "TWEEZ" not "TWOS"
Thank you! You just settled an argument with my husband. I thought it was tweez, & he had me all but convinced I was wrong. He was telling me how dumb I am- he is 10 years older & was alive during the original run.
Wow, you make it sound like Isaac and Julie was running some kind of ship brothel. And that is so not the case. Isaac did what any bartender would do stand around and wait till some one wanted a drink, you know just like any establishment would. And Julie helped people with problems with their spouse, family, friends or help a passenger who may have fallen in love with another passenger. Yea, people were hooking up, because well that is what young people do. But they would fall in love by the end of the cruise and get married. If anyone was doing all of this random hooking up , it was the doctor. But this video is typical of internet journalist, lol. Click to Wikipedia, and then click to google, read a couple of paragraphs, and for the final research watch as many yt videos about the subject at hand. Done. I now know the complete history of any topic. Lol.
She deserved to be fired because she was missing days of work and flubbing her lines on the show. She wasn't professional anymore. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Well my friend, it would help if you did better research into how celebrities pronounce their names. Lauren's last name is NOT pronounced "Two's" Check for yourself, it is pronounced "Tweez" like a pair of "tweezers." If you're going to comment on famous people - you look unprofessional to not know the correct pronunciation.
How much time would it have taken to research how to properly pronounce Lauren Tewes' name? It's 'Tweeze' not 'Tooze.' In fact the interview he alludes to and shows a clip from (where she's fat) Lauren actually says her name.
Lauren Tewes was my favorite on the show. Her life is a bit more tragic than you touched on. She lost her daughter at just one month old in the late 80’s. Which led to her divorce from her second husband.
Thanks for confirming that! I often wondered what led to her second divorce. Wasn't she married to an Italian guy? She was my favorite character on the show....she and Fred Grandy!
@@Coffee4commonsense so did I! I love the episode where they pretend to be together and then briefly thinking they may really have feelings for each other! Tom Hanks was in that storyline. Makes me feel so old, LOL!
I was 11 years old when the Love Boat began in 1977 and I had a crush on Lauren Tewes character Julie McCoy. I thought she was really cute and sweet. When my late Mum found out she had a drug addiction...she forbid me from watching The Love Boat...and she herself stopped watching as well. I did however watch it in the last season when Lauren returned, as well as Marion Ross playing Gavin MacLeod's wife Emily. Rest in peace dear Gavin.
Who could forget the double whammy of "Love Boat" and then "Fantasy Island" every week! The one day a week my little girl could stay up late to watch TV. Kimberly loved both and would mimic Herve saying "Zee plane! Zee plane!" before he did. Silly as it was, "Love Boat" was glorious! Who says something has to be world-shaking or relevant to be entertaining?
I stopped watching the show when they replaced Lauren. I loved the character Julie. Couldn’t get use to the other one. Lauren played it with pazzaz, intelligence, and a genuine sense of caring about the passengers as well as those she worked with. EVERYONE makes mistakes and those who won’t help someone that makes mistakes, especially when they ask, is a very mean and ugly person. Those who snoot their nose to ANYONE who makes mistakes is making a much BIGGER mistakes than the “ANYONE”. ✝️🙏
I very much agree ❣️❣️❣️❣️. I hope she has time to read this page to see a lot of people who really love her...wouldn't it be fun if she had a cooking show on Food network?
Most in people don't know WHY she had a "drug problem". She like Marie osmond were repeatedly told they were too fat and would be replaced. At most they were about 10 lbs overweight. Lauren knew drugs would surpress her appetite and then became addicted which caused her to skip on her responsibilities. This is not excusing her but her bio gets it wrong saying she took drugs to deal with the stress of her sudden fame. No! It was because of the threats if she didn't lose the weight. It was the married producers named Kramer or Cramer who were the main harassers. Aaron spellings daughter Tori on the other hand looks like a leukemia patient because she is so skinny in person. Very unhealthy looking.
Lauren of course. She had great chemistry with the rest of the cast. When Pat replaced her, the chemistry wasn't the same. Lauren was also in one of those movies about the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. There were 2 or 3 movies made about the famous cheerleaders back then.
My mother was on love boat valentines CBS 1990’s it was a real show! No credit! She won a question on the boat by the way doing the show, she’s talking with the Director who is doing the show.
After 45 years of watching the Love Boat, this is the first time I've ever heard her called Lauren 2'S. I always heard it was Lauren pronounced "Tweeze". Does anyone else say Lauren 2's? She even pronounces it tweeze. Even TV Guide says tweeze.
I liked Julie. It's sad that Lauren let drugs control her life to the point of ruining her career, but that's why it's called dope, not smarts. People need to learn not to let others pressure you into something you know is wrong. I didn't let peer pressure control me. I ended up alone, but still much better off than I would have if I had given in to it.
If she hadn't taken to FILTHY, DIRTY, DRUGS!!! all those years ago who's to say what a career she could have had & a much bigger name for herself & gone on to be be a much more successful actress. But, that's not the path she chose & it ended up ruining her acting career & proberbly most of her life. I bet her fellow actors was thinking what a real shame for her to waste her life like that. I understand that actors & actoressses can be under a huge amount of strain. But, i am sure there are other ways for them to cope with it rather than taking up DIRTY DRUGS!!! that can & have been known to KILL!!! I do hope she has fully recovered from her ordeal with drugs & has now found happiness in any form that keeps her that way. & WELL AWAY from DIRTY, FILTHY, DRUGS!!!!👎👎👎👎👎👎😠😡😠😡😠😡😠😡😠.
Ppl who make good money can always get all the help they need from the best available anywhere in the world. Today ppl on drugs go to rehab to get drugs and get support w housing and other social services. Drug addiction is a recognized disability from wh almost no one recovers permanently. No program has ever worked although there have been many for decades.
@@harperstacey9604I get that, "Ms. Stàcey," and realize it's just a technicality. But she technically does not have a termination on her record. Her work contract was up, and she simply moved on.
I loved that show & esp. her as a kid but it was on for far too long...i'm not sure why now but I think part of why i stopped watching was when she left. I was like 12 or 13 when i stopped watching tho.
In 2000, I went on a cruise to Bermuda aboard the Nordic Empress from New York. The Pacific Princess was docked right next to our ship and made the same trip, though it docked in St. George’s at Bermuda. I was surprised how small the Pacific Princess was, even compared to the Nordic Empress which was one of the smaller Royal Caribbean ships.
Pacific Princes was less than half the tonnage of Nordic Empress but she was about average size for a cruise ship in the 70s and early 80s. The first of the mega cruise ships was the Norway the converted ocean liner France and she was so enormously successful that by the mid 80s the various companies kicked off a more and bigger ships tonnage race that hasn't stopped to this day. My first cruise in 85 was aboard Nordic Prince which was about the same size as Pacific Princess. My third cruise in 87 was aboard Norway. The difference in size and amenities was positively enormous but back in those days there was not such a huge emphasis on shipboard amenities as there is today. The ship was still seen as a way to get there from here and not as much a destination unto herself. Norway as I said however was instrumental in changing all of that. All of the ships I sailed on in the 80s have gone to the scrap yards and even the ships I sailed on 20 years ago are with different cruise lines overseas rather than the companies they were built for. Time marches on as they say and as tragic as those pictures of Pacific Princess are at the scrapyard she had a long and prosperous career. Most ships die just as humans do and only a very fortunate few live on as museums or monuments...
Julie McCoy was and will always be the world's most famous Cruise Director. I have been cruising for 45yrs and Lauren's character "Julie" is still referenced all over the world aboard ships. No doubt about it, "Julie" is the best! I have always wanted to meet Lauren in person :)
Lauren Tewes was the best for the part, but as in most entertainment, there are problems that arise, and she wasn't experienced enough to avoid those traps; that's a shame, but overcoming those traps the producers should have given her a chance for a return. Too bad for that, but she was the best in EVERY WAY for the part that was originally hers in my opinion!
Producers back then made some awful decisions that ruined their own shows. Usually by letting go of women who definitely helped the shows be the hits that they were. Just as Threes Company was never much good after Suzanne Somers was fired, so it was with the Love Boat and Lauren

I imagine you bought the playboy issue that she did full frontal/rear nudity in in 1983? Its not mentioned here but that was another reason she was sacked from what was a family show. I've been trying to find the issue but because it sold out its difficult to find. I just remember she was a natural red head & had one of the nicest asses I've ever seen. It seems she never learned her lesson because she did full frontal in playboy again in 1990, this time in some really hot/steamy lesbian themed shower/bath photos with fellow 70s tv icon Joanna Cameron wich resulted in Julie being written out of the Valentine's special reunion episode of the love boat.
Lauren Tewes was definitely my favorite 💯🙌.... I was very disappointed when she left.. I didn't even want to watch anymore... It's hard to get used to someone else if they didn't originally played the roll in the first place... 🤷♀️Just my opinion
I wish they would stop mentioning her drug habit of happened a long time ago we all have a past we aren’t proud of she is actually doing great and healthy because Jill gave an update on her on Instagram . Let this woman live and recognize her for the great she did that’s it that’s all !!
Lauren Tewes 💘💘💘 To me, that was the end of the show, when she disappeared. Back then I did not pronounce her name as "Toos", but "Twees". I liked it better.
It's horrible that you stated the beginning of the end. Please stop the drama. She was beautiful and an awesome actress. So keep it positive, and stop trying to make it a negative news reel.
Same old story. Got her big break, resulting in a tidy bank account no doubt, and just threw it all 'overboard'. Used to have a saying in England: 'Put a beggar on horseback and he will ride it into the ground'. She was, indeed, an attractive talented lady back when. Sad.
Like many on here, I lost interest in the show after Lauren Tewes left. It just wasn't the same, the chemistry and character connection wasn't the same any more. I tried, but it just didn't happen. The magic was gone from the show for me. So glad to hear she seems to be doing well.
First off she is still around and living a decent life. She's in Seattle. I used to work with her. What a fun gal! You're also saying her last name wrong. Tewes is not pronounced 'Two's' It sounds like 'Tweeze!' Get a clue before you talk shit about people.

They should spell it that way and hence no mispronouncing.

NO compatition. Lauren as Julie McCoy. NO one can replace her, although they tried. Two years my junior I think she is as beautiful as ever.

It seems she never learned her lesson because she did full frontal in playboy again in 1990, this time in some really hot/steamy lesbian themed shower/bath photos with fellow 70s tv icon Joanna Cameron wich resulted in Julie being written out of the Valentine's special reunion episode of the love boat.
I grew up watching her as Julie. Loved her.
Lauren Tewes was definitely my favorite 💯🙌.... I was very disappointed when she left.. I didn't even want to watch anymore... It's hard to get used to someone else if they didn't originally played the roll in the first place... 🤷♀️Just my opinion
Glad to know that you're a fan of Lauren! We're moved by your message. What other types of video would you like to see?
Didn't she play "Wendy/Windy" on Breaking Bad?
I wish they would stop mentioning her drug habit of happened a long time ago we all have a past we aren’t proud of she is actually doing great and healthy because Jill gave an update on her on Instagram . Let this woman live and recognize her for the great she did that’s it that’s all !!
Thank you for walking me through the hands of history
I grew up Watching this back in the late 80s. Liked julie McCoy

Lauren Tewes 💘💘💘 To me, that was the end of the show, when she disappeared. Back then I did not pronounce her name as "Toos", but "Twees". I liked it better.
Julie Mccoy !!!
Aww Love her ❤
"TWEEZE"
It's pronounced Tweeze.
It's horrible that you stated the beginning of the end. Please stop the drama. She was beautiful and an awesome actress. So keep it positive, and stop trying to make it a negative news reel.
You don't think giving your career to drugs is negative?
Same old story. Got her big break, resulting in a tidy bank account no doubt, and just threw it all 'overboard'. Used to have a saying in England: 'Put a beggar on horseback and he will ride it into the ground'. She was, indeed, an attractive talented lady back when. Sad.
Love JULIE There will never be another!
Like many on here, I lost interest in the show after Lauren Tewes left. It just wasn't the same, the chemistry and character connection wasn't the same any more. I tried, but it just didn't happen. The magic was gone from the show for me. So glad to hear she seems to be doing well.
Is it true that her and the Dr Bricker have a son together??
Love boat was the erst most stupid not funny ridiculously cringe sit com
Thanks for watching!
My vote is Julie all the way. So sorry for what so went through but at least she came out shining on the other side.
First here kid so you better pin me😈😈😈
Are sure about that
Julie without a doubt!
Lauren Tewes. Great as julie
Julie was much better. Hard to replace an original.
I thought Julie's replacement was better than her. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@harperstacey9604 No you didn't. You just like to gloat over someone else's misfortune, and all the more so if they were better looking than you.
Julie McCoy for sure 👍
It is funny how Lauren Tewes played her role very well but she didn't have the necessary means to get help on time thus she was fired on the spot.
To me, if there is another "The Love Boat" movie I personally would rehire Lauren Tewes provided that she can lose some weight so that the ratings can go sky high.
Please have a nice weekend. ©®

Her last name is pronounced “ tweeze”
She was cute back in the day.
Julie
I loved julie mcCoy better she was meant for that part
First off she is still around and living a decent life. She's in Seattle. I used to work with her. What a fun gal! You're also saying her last name wrong. Tewes is not pronounced 'Two's' It sounds like 'Tweeze!' Get a clue before you talk shit about people.
I liked Julie McCoy.
