Take My Advice: The Ann and Abby Story

I will confess, I mainly watched this to see the wigs and clothes, and also for Wendy Malick, who is great in everything & always fun to watch. I will admit, parts got kind of boring--no matter how great the dress is, I can only watch someone pecking away at a typewriter for so long. They did a good job of not making it obvious that one actress was playing 2 roles, it was pretty seamless. THe characters barely seem to age at all from the late 30's to the 70's, but oh well. Great wigs/falls and great 50's and 60's clothes and details. Malick looks sharp.

How forgotten the story of syndicated twin advice columnists. This not only showed us the real story, but it gives us a glimpse back into the 50's. I think that it was great, and I give it an 8. Now I understand that many people don't like it. Why, because it was about real life. Real life does not run like a sitcom or modern movie. I admit, I could not figure out which twin was which, but after I figured it out by the hair, I was enjoying the movie even more.

It was a terrific show. It was interesting to learn some facts about Ann and Abby. The cast was great! If Wendie Malick doesn't earn an emmy award for this show, it's a real shame. I enjoyed the scenes showing the change of looks, wardrobe, etc. I highly recommended it to all my friends.
