Why Did Jimmy McNichol Fail So Miserably, While His Sister Succeed So Wonderfully

Was it the fact Kristy could play both male and female roles?

I recently watched a couple of his old TV movies. The family resemblance was strong but he possessed one-tenth of her charisma (if you're being charitable).

He was a cutie in 1978

This tells you absolutely everything you need to know. Kristy had to all but blackmail the Carpenters to get him on the special.

She had a nervous breakdown and hospitalized for it because she was so unhappy. How successful is that really?

He had a cute ass, so who cares?

He was definitely the Corky Thatcher of that era.

No he isn't

He was the Lens Dunham in that relationship, for sure.

Why did Billy Branigan fail when his sister Laura Branigan had success?

I don't think Jimmy's acting is worse than anyone else's in that clip with The Carpenters. They're all terrible, although the "script" doesn't help.

Thanks for the pix and clip from BUTCHER, BAKER, NIGHTMARE MAKER. I actually have the whole film on video. In that still with Jimmy holding the basketball at R7, the other guy in the shot (barely) is a very young Bill Paxton!

You either got it or you ain't.

R8, if nothing else that video destroys the stereotype that lesbians can't dance...oh wait...

R21 that pic of Glenda Jackson looks like Reagan from The Exorcist.
