[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister used to nanny to fill in after they moved to a new city for her husband's job. As a colllege educated, middles aged mom of older kids and former teacher she was in high demand on care.com

One of the families she regularly nannied for asked her to come along to a meal out with their old collgege buddy to sit at the table and keep an eye on the kids so everyone could visit.  It was a very casual "Hey, [b]my old college bff [/b]Joe is in town and we'd like to catch up. Would you mind helping out that week with the kids? Joe loves seeing them but we want to be able to visit uninterrupted."

Only the [b]dear college buddy[/b] was not an average Joe.

Joe was my sister's favorite 80s sitcom teen hearthrob, along the level of famousness as Ricky Schroeder, Kirk Cameron or Michael J Fox!  Her boss never refered to him by name, just as an old friend. Imagine her surprise when she walked into the restaurant and saw who he was.

She texted me that night from the restaurant bathroom, a 40 something year old woman going "Omg, omg, omg!!! I am eating dinner with (insert 80s hearthrob name)!!!"

She ended up nannying for them all week. She did not get any pictures or autographs because she was working but she really wanted to. She was like a giggly 13 year old girl pouring over Teen Beat magazines all week.

She said he was very nice and very down to earth, and it was really like a bunch of old college friends getting together.

She was startstruck, but to her boss it really was just Average Joe dropping by to spend the week.

The guy is still active in the entertainment industry, and still good looking.  He is an actor that people would still recognize today.

She got to chat with him throughout the week, and he was just as nice as can be.  It was fun for her but for her boss it was just a regular friend who just happened to be a star.

Her boss was not someone famous btw. Just someone on a generic upper middle class career. She just happened to meet him at college somewhere, the dorm, a class, a party, who knows and they became lifelong friends.[/quote]

OMG just name him already[/quote]

Yeah this is lame, and written up weirdly.  "only the dear college buddy was not an average joe!"  Err, ok.[/quote]

Seriously, if you won’t name names, don’t bother posting at all. It’s pointless and what’s the big deal about giving a name? [/quote]

Agreed. Lame.  Although hardly any 80s heartthrobs went to college so it shouldn't be too hard to narrow down.  The only two I can think of are John Cusack (NYU) and Judd Nelson (Haverford).

None of the other suggestions -- Scott Baio, Michael J. Fox, Kirk Cameron, Ricky Schroeder, Mark-Paul Gosselaar -- went to college. [/quote]

I just realized it said 80s sitcom heartthrob so that rules out Judd and John C. who were movies.  I've got nothing. [/quote]

Fred Savage - Wonder Years - Stanford University.[/quote]

I don't think Fred Savage was ever really considered a "heartthrob". [/quote]
