The Villages on The Tonight Show
 
Megan Boone, daughter of Jennifer Parr, was on The Tonight Show on 9/22/14. She talks about growing up in a retirement community.

That was enjoyable to watch. Thank you.

We NEVER watch the show since Leno left - personally, no appeal to my age group. I Miss Johnny....

But - Megan... c'mon. Bet your family will give you #$^@%& for the negative picture re "retirement communities". She COULD have left a better image of the place behind of her family's fortune. Shuffleboard...c'mon. That's so 80's.

Thanks for the link, but reinforcement of why NOT to watch this show - shallow interviewing and the forced chuckles.

I must be getting old.

Whoa, she comes across as a vapid little fool.

I do not recall ever hearing of her, but it seems she did about typical for those kind of fluff interviews. It certainly was not a good ad for the Villages, but that was not her purpose, so I can't blame her for that. At least she didn't dwell on all the golf carts!

She is a gifted actress. I wonder how much time she spends now in the Villages? Probably very little.

I see her all the time getting her hair cut at Cal's (LSL) and playing shuffleboard.

the interview was not about TV. It was all about Megan Boone.

The whole 90 seconds about TV was tongue in cheek. She is marketing Megan not TV

I've never watched her act in anything. I'll take your word for it that she's a good actor, Tal. She is Jennifer Parr's daughter. Why is her last name Boone? Is it a stage name?

Naw….she wouldn't want the $5 cut with unwashed hair wetted with a squirt bottle :yuck:.

She would be more considerate of the stylist who also needs to earn decent income.

Obviously, she didn't want to talk about growing up here, since "fools" would accuse her of landing a role/career like this only because she's daughter/granddaughter of the "rich" who fools claim "don't work" for what they've attained.

Vapid? I don't think so:

She came across as nervous as most young performers are in an unscripted performance. The Tonight show is a big deal.

My comment had nothing to do with her Villages comment. It was born of her giggling like a schoolgirl and sitting like she had ants in her pants.
