Funny how there's this undercurrent of promoting fitness, with Barry Bostwick obviously showing off his bulge. The women are all in leotards and strip off their jackets. Barry seems to grab Lisa's ass, and checks out Judy. This would not fly in the #metoo era.

I think she had a hit or two on the country charts with Clint Black, R11, but her solo stuff never went anywhere chartwise. She had a good amount of success as an actress, but I think she wanted the music career more, and it never really happened.

She got to sing top 40 hits on Knots Landing and then the Alec Baldwin character had her sing on his Christian tv show. She sang Amy Grant songs on those episodes. As a kid I always wished those were on her albums.

I sort of love the fact that she was doing well career-wise, met Clint, got married and then settled down with him.

I don't think either of them felt the need to continually chase the spotlight.

I wish more celebrities, actors, actresses, musicians followed the same path. Yea, you were on a hit show or a soap or had a hit single or two... your brief moment shining bright is OVER. Go and enjoy life doing something else.

I know it's a DL cliche to have this reaction but I had gotten pretty confident that Clint Black was a closeted gay (he did a lot of the "I don't have time to date" thing for a while), and then all of a sudden he was dating her and they got married and it seemed pretty arranged and fake to me.

However, if they're still together I take it all back.

Clint has a daughter by some random woman he banged in the late '80s, and he and the mother tussled over child support in the 1990s. It was well known that Lisa did NOT want that kid around. Clint paid for her upkeep but had no real relationship with her.

Apparently she's now an aspiring singer:

R26 & R52 I'm from Houston, too, and my mother worked with Jonni Hartman at KPRC, the local NBC affiliate, for several years. Lisa is quite a bit older than I am, so I never met her, but I do remember that my mom often would mention her whenever something went on with Lisa careerwise. Can't exactly say I was "into her" but I probably was made more aware of her comings & goings than I otherwise would have been because of my mother's connection.

On the other hand, those photos of her with a shirtless, furry-chested Alec Baldwin from back in the day do pique my interest....

I can't believe that I am defending Lisa Hartman, but I think that some here are judging her through the lens of the 2000s. Her look on Knots Landing was very in at that time. The hair was ubiquitous and even that wedding photo is very much the look of 1989 brides(the headpiece and hair-not the cleavage.) I agree that she was not beautiful in the Jaquelyn Smith true beauty sense, but she was very cute. I would say that she was the dime store Farrah Fawcett with a slightly punk edge. If you notice, she is never smiling in any of her photos. She really seemed to like being the "bad girl."

Off topic" wasn't it when he was super hot in Knots Landing the same time he was engaged to Janine Turner?

by Anonymousreply 75August 28, 2018 5:34 PM

Some people think the biggest reason Knots hasn't been released is because of the many covers of songs that Lisa sang on the show. The deals they made for licensing the songs don't include DVD releases, just for Television. So they have to have to do it all over again, and some writers demand unreasonable amounts that the companies can't afford. It's been an issue for other shows that feature popular music too from being released on DVD.

Was she really that popular? I think the Ciji character on KL was a big hit... so much so that they brought her back as Cathy after (spoiler) Ciji died. But my sense is while Hartman was fine as Ciji, the popularity had more to do with the writing and storytelling at the time. It was a great murder mystery, I never got the sense Cathy was as popular, and post-KL, it's not like Hartman had a huge career.

In summary, she was hot for a split second due to circumstances, then was an average level celebrity.

Discuss.

I always liked how polished she seemed on Knots Landing. Her nose job really did something to change everything about her face. I think she must have had at least two; the original wider nose from Tabitha, a neater looking one pre-1982, then the really narrow WASPy one from knots onwards.
