How rude! (In her character's words.)

That being said, if I could have gotten paid for pretending to be a rich child 30-35 years ago (or whenever it aired — the article said but I already forgot — late 80s, early 90s, somewhere in there) and still continue to get checks from it years later, shit, that would be a heck of a gig. I've never had a job where I got paid in perpetuity years after I stopped doing it.

Still, we all watched because she and the other girls were cute and adorable and they said funny things. So it's hard to have a hard heart despite working hard and only getting paid once for it... but I mean... she's a beautiful young woman, is there no market for her talents to make something new?
