Lacy Underalls. One of greatest character names in cinema history. She was the gorgeous, upper east side nightmare that wooed Ty Webb in the epic comedy, “Caddyshack”. I loved her only because she got to make out with the first love of my life, Chevy Chase. When I saw him dive into that pool with Christie Brinkley in “Vacation”, I knew I wanted to be her and marry him. And I was only 8. He pretty much became the standard for me to gauge all the men who entered my world from then on. And it was a pretty high bar he set. Everyone had to be funny, funny, funny.
My crushes ranged from Jack Tripper on “Three’s Company” to Bill Murray to Steve Martin. Pretty interesting taste for a 10 year old. My mom thought I was insane to like only funny men, “why not that gorgeous guy?” me – “ugh, so boring. I want the guy that’s gonna do a hand stand in the middle of the party just because”. It’s not always an easy thing to find, but its worth waiting for. So here’s to Chevy! Now, I just have to save up for that red Ferrari, get myself a white shirt dress and head cross country.
