Cynnie,
we can’t thank you enough for sharing with us your memories of your
Dad and Julie, for your touching words, and for the photos from the
Troup Family album. You’ve
helped make this anniversary celebration very special for everyone
associated with the show, and for the fans. If
Bobby and Julie were with us today, what 30th Anniversary
message would they want to send to the cast, crew and fans? I
think that they would both say it was one of the best periods of their
lives and they loved being on the set (especially my Dad) and they
adored and had so much fun with the cast and the crew – that
work wasn’t very hard and I think they liked that and of course
deserved it – so, the message: It
was fabulous and those years are very, very, special.
What
was it like working with your Dad and Julie? Fun
mostly – I adored my father and being with him a lot was great. What was your off-screen life like at the height of their popularity? Basically
like now in that I am a “movie crew member”, but then, people
thought I was a Script Girl because of my Dad – wasn’t true – in
fact I got on "Emergency!" because of Bob Cinader from “Adam-12”, but
I love being his daughter, it was fun to be “Julie London’s
daughter” when she was really well-known (singing). How
was it when your sisters guest-starred on the show? I
barely remember. Kelly was only 10 and worked about half a day, and I
worked with Ronne on Adam-12 and it was great.
I think I was there for one day of Ronne.
She worked on episodes after I left. What was it like
working with Randy Mantooth, Kevin Tighe and Robert Fuller? Also
the best! “Emergency! was the most fun job EVER.”
That was said to me by the camera operator on the show (Norm
Langley) and it is so true. I
swear I rarely have fun on sets these days.
It’s changed since then and the hours are longer and it’s
just not fun and because the whole cast of "Emergency!" were such good
friends, the whole set was very special. Actors on other jobs often
“just do the work”, but on Emergency! it was very different and of
course special. P.S.
Kevin especially has been a very good friend all these years. What
are your fondest memories of working on the show? Generally,
just going to work. My
favorite scenes were with my Dad and Julie when they would be “their
real relationship.”
The
love and joy they had with each other.
Where
did your career path take you after Emergency! I
left Emergency! to do movies, and I did.
I did lots of movies (click here to see Cynnie’s career history
on films and in television!) and for the last 6 years I’ve gone back to
doing T.V. No locations,
etc!!! What
are you working on now? I
am about to work on the TV show “Once and Again” for 2 weeks and
then I will do 13 episodes of an HBO series “The Mind of the Married
Man”. I did it last year. |
