She's come a long way from Square Pegs.....the after school show about two nerdy girls and their High School dilemas. She is a stellar presence in any arena.

I've never much cared for horses.

Stiller & Meara did an episode each (not together) but they were established by then. John Lithgow - who appeared with Sarah Jessica Parker in "Footloose" could be considered a 'future star' - was on several episodes. Anyone think of any other people who became stars after appearing on CBSRMT?

There were only a few 'future stars' on CBSRMT and Sarah Jessica Parker was one of them. She was in one of the better child roles in the series. It's her birthday today. She was 12 when she performed in CBSRMT

Good topic - anyone think of any other people who became stars after appearing on CBSRMT?

Morgan Fairchild... Judith Light, and Roxy Roker come to mind. Glynnis O'Connor, who did "Ode to Billy Joe" with Robby Benson and some featured roles in the 80s. (She had some hilarious moments in "Johnny Dangerously", just doing facial expressions, and one offscreen curse.)

Jerry Orbach (Law and Order- many episodes), Fred Gwynne (Herman Munster), Agnes Morehead, come to mind - I had to look up - Roxy ROker - Lenny kravitz mom and the black lady on the Jeffersons married to white guy. Judith Light - played mom on Who's the Boss- didn't know those - thanks

Sarah Jessica Parker (born March 25, 1965) is an American actress, producer, and designer. She is known for her role as Carrie Bradshaw on the HBO series Sex and the City (1998–2004). She reprised the role in the films Sex and the City (2008) and Sex and the City 2 (2010). Parker made her Broadway debut at the age of 11 in the 1976 revival of The Innocents, before going on to star in the title role of the Broadway musical Annie in 1979. She appeared in the 1984 films Footloose and Firstborn and returned to Broadway in the 1989 play The Heidi Chronicles. Parker's other major film roles include L.A. Story (1991), Honeymoon in Vegas (1992), Hocus Pocus (1993), Ed Wood (1994), The First Wives Club (1996), The Family Stone (2005), Failure to Launch (2006), and Did You Hear About the Morgans? (2009). In 2012, Parker returned to television for the first time since Sex and the City, portraying Isabelle Wright in three episodes of the FOX series Glee. She is currently starring as Frances Dufresne in the HBO series Divorce (2016–present), for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award.

I first noticed her in LA Story. The scene with her measuring Steve Martin is hilaroused (and sexy). She is very bouncy and huggable.

Are there any episodes in which well-known celebrities or actors took cameo roles?

Sarah Jessica Parker was in one, and Tony Roberts did a lot. Agnes Moorehead was in the first episode. Mason Adams did a fair number.

John Lithgow was in several episodes and so was the late great Jerry Stiller.

Kim Hunter (who played Dr. Zira from PLANET OF THE APES). There's also Janet Waldo (who did the voice of Judy Jeston from THE JETSONS)

Sarah Jessica Parker was a child actress appearing in numerous Broadway productions including Annie and the Sound of Music. She has had appearances in over 260 films and television programs including the movies, Footloose, Ed Wood, Mars Attacks and the Hocus Pocus franchise but is best remembered for her starring role in TV's Sex and the City, for which she won 4 Golden Globes and 2 Emmys. She was just 12 years old when she appeared on CBSRMT.

I’m surprised no one mentioned Mandy Patinkin of Princess Bride fame who went on to do so many other great works
