Fame Trivia Metamorphosis

This picture of Valerie Lansburg was taken on location in New York City during the filming of the Fame Pilot. This is what Valerie and Caol Mayo Jenkins had to say about it on Facebook:

Valerie:

"People send me pictures from the show all the time. I love seeing them. This one was taken in December of 1980. 30 years ago. I was acting in the pilot and that same week I took over the role of Libby in I Ought To Be In Picutres on Broadway. Seems like a lifetime ago and at the same time as if it was yesterday."

Carol:

"Oh, my - I remember so clearly meeting you in that school where we filmed in N.Y. You were so incredibly bright and sophisticated and still so young. I loved you immediately and have ever since. Thirty years?!?!? Can't be possible!"
