Soap stars in the 1980s seemed to be much more glamorous and fabulous than the stars of today. With shows like “Dynasty” and “Knots Landing” on the air, there was no shortage of big hair, shoulder pads and blue eye shadow.
One of the most glamorous stars of the period was Donna Mills of “Knots Landing.” Her beauty was obvious– but how did she maintain that look every day of every week?
To answer those questions, Ms. Mills produced an informational video called “The Eyes Have It.” Aside from the catchy theme song, this video shares all of Donna’s secrets on how to look your best and maintain that glamorous 1980s look. Frequent YouTube viewers may notice this video is remarkably similar to former “Young and the Restless” star Brenda Dickson’s video “Welcome To My Home.” While it is similar, Ms. Dickson can’t hold a candle to Ms. Mills’s radiance, don’t you think?
Here is Part 1 of 8, in which Donna demonstrates an interesting way to use a cucumber:
After the jump, parodies by comedienne and voiceover artist Deven Green- assuming the role of Brenda Dickson.
