Even though it's just a brief stint... it should be a hoot! I adore Lesley Ann Warren.

NEW YORK (AP) — Now look who's moving onto Wisteria Lane. Bob Newhart will begin a multi-episode stint on ABC's Desperate Housewives set to air in April. The 75-year-old actor-comedian will play Morty, the estranged boyfriend of Susan Mayer's mom, Sophie, played by guest star Lesley Ann Warren.

"I'm looking forward to being involved with one of the hottest shows on TV," Newhart said in a statement Wednesday.

In the episode, Teri Hatcher's single mom Susan will attempt to get Sophie and Morty back together to keep her mother from moving in with her and her daughter.

On March 13, The Bob Newhart Show will receive TV Land's Icon Award at a ceremony in Santa Monica, Calif. The first season of the TV classic will be released on DVD next month.

1. I STILL haven't caught one episode of the show.

Maybe I'll catch it when it goes into reruns. From the beginning. :-)

2. I wonder if Bob and Lesly Ann will have a bedroom scene?

3. I always had a huge crush on Lesley Ann Warren...

...ever since I hit my teens. She looks great even now, and she looked amazing in "Clue." :loveya:

4. Upstairs, Downstairs

I have the DVD of the old series Upstairs, Downstairs and she was
so wonderful in it and so gorgeous. Did you know when she was a
young girl she was voted the most beautiful girl in England? From
there her acting career was launched.

8. I think you mean Lesley-Ann DOWN...

This is Leslie Ann Warren from "Clue" (Yes, she's making a silly face, but it was a comedic role and I couldn't find another image...besides, her being so funny was a big part of what made her so sexy--I'd say there were plenty of women in that era who were more "classically" beautiful, but to me, there was just something about her):



Lesley-Ann Down might be (probably is) a more "beautiful" woman than Ms. Warren, but the latter might be a more "sexy" woman, if you know what I'm trying to say.

They're BOTH great! :toast:

10. Yeah

6. I used to get her and Susan Sarandon mixed up

Not that there is a problem with either one mind you.

9. None at all...

...if you look at the image I just posted in a previous reply to this thread, you can see the physical similarity. ;-)
