In the run up to the Fame Reunion Concert in L.A. Erica Gimpel tells Playbill her Favourite Fame Memory:
"My favorite memory was the episode 'Passing Grade' in which Debbie Allen and I (Lydia Grant and Coco) went up for the same part. This was really significant for me because I had seen Debbie in West Side Story on Broadway and was really inspired by her. At that time I was a junior at The High School for the Performing Arts, which was the actual school Fame was based on. The way the episode ended was that neither one of us got the part, and we sang the duet 'I Still Believe In Me' and danced together. It was truly a highlight for me, dancing together and to that particular song, which will always hold a special place in my heart."
