Photo: Bethenny Frankel On ‘Saved by the Bell’ Set
How’s this for a blast from the past?
“Real Housewife,” talk show host and entrepreneur Bethenny Frankel just posted on Facebook a photo of herself with the cast of “Saved By The Bell.” No, she never appeared on the show (if she had, the Shmooze would be hunting for that episode right now), but instead worked behind the scenes as a production assistant in one of her first Los Angeles jobs.
“Can you tell what show I was a P.A. on back in the day?” wrote on Facebook.
This week she had Mario Lopez (SBTB’s Slater) on her talk show, and he claimed to have had a crush on her back in her P.A. days, cooing to the audience, “Bethenny was so sweet and so cool with everybody.”
No word yet from Screech (Dustin Diamond) yet, but the Shmooze admits that Frankel does look sort of cute in her early-’90s garb. Is it just us or have all those Skinnygirl cocktails made her a little too thin?
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
