The best thing about Dreyfuss is this. Dreyfuss was meant to be a loving dog, but... He was the antihero to all other TV dogs. We love him. So long as we understand... that all of our favorite TV dogs... were not meant to be heroes... Gosh he was cute. :)
First, sports media would take zero responsibility for the enormous amount of expectation and hype generated over a 13-year-old girl's tennis career prospects, and then, when that pressure undoes her, they insist it's their right to pick at the corpse like vultures. I'm all for freedom of the press in reporting on important things that matter to society, but the intrusion into the lives of public figures like tennis players, many if not most of whom are in it for the game, not the fame, is absolutely predatory. Infotainment to garner a paycheck, of no meaningful importance to anyone outside the concerned kid's family.
Chris Evert, Cindy Shmerler, and Sally Jenkins placing the blame back on Jennifer, with the absurd expectations placed on her (she won five tournaments in her first two years, for crying out loud!!!) by the likes of them, is disgusting, not to mention convenient.
totally agree! These adults should be ashamed of themselves. She was just 13 years old when she turned pro... and only 16 when she rebelled because she crumbled under all the pressure (she had 5 tournaments and 1 gold medal in singles). People were just using her as a meal ticket (including her father). Just glad she was able to comeback and win 3 slams.
We loved having her join us at Saddlebrook in 1989. Her radiant, ever- present smile and exuberance she brought even more sunshine to The Sunshine State.
I dislike both players, as I favor old school serve and volley.(mcenroe,sampras,edberg) But seeing the incredible amount dedication , and energy, they have given to that sport, it is really unfair to focus that aspect..just my thoughts..
Oh wow I've never seen this. Thanks for posting this wonderful document of Betty White. Boy was she funny and could she carry a show. You just want this to go on forever. She really was the Queen of Television.
I remember an episode were the guy next door wanted to breed a thoroughbred, and when he didn't notice, Dreyfuss snuck out the door and had some quick fun with her, came back in and plopped on to the kitchen floor. In another episode, someone was either playing an instrument or singing, and Dreyfuss went into the kitchen cupboard and pulled the door shut, ending the episode.
