Cast of Live All in the Family Pinky Peterson
I know I received a bunch of texts and calls last night subsequently the news that Amanda Peterson, AKA Cindy Mancini from Can't Purchase Me Love passed away at the likewise early age of 43. Can't Buy Me Love is one of my favorite films and Amanda was then good in the moving-picture show.
Pinky has been a huge fan forever and did an amazing recap of her life, career and the impact that Amanda Peterson had on her growing up.
RIP Amanda Peterson!

The news came across my iPhone in the same way I receive nearly of my news these days – past Twitter. As I casually scrolled through my feed, I saw the iconic paradigm of Amanda Peterson equally Cindy Mancini. I'd recognize that paradigm anywhere. My center soared thinking the headline might read, "Amanda Peterson Signs New Deal" or "Amanda Peterson to Announced at a Convention" but instead it read, "'Can't Buy Me Love' Star Amanda Peterson Dies at 43." "DAMNIT!" I said out loud, to myself, to anyone, to the unabridged Universe, while inside my mind just went, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Not Cindy Mancini!!!"
Aye, I realize Amanda Peterson wasn't really Cindy Mancini, but that character was so very iconic, especially to me, and I've always related to it in a special way.
Like near girls my age, I wanted to BE Cindy Mancini. Who wouldn't want to be the popular cheerleader with the college boyfriend and perfect hair? Oh, and did I mention her amazing car? I had pictures of it pinned up on my wall until I actually got i when I was 19 (too late to drive it to high school, unfortunately, but awesome notwithstanding).
Amanda Peterson had the unique ability to calorie-free upwards the screen with her effervescent smile – it was difficult to look at anything else when she was on-screen. She embodied the role so well, in fact, that for years I'd been wanting to discover her for a documentary I wanted to make about all of my very favorite stars from the '80s who seemed to vanish off the face up of the globe.
Forth with Amanda, my list included Michael Schoeffling (aka Jake Ryan), Mia Sara (from Ferris Bueller's Mean solar day Off), Ilan Mitchell-Smith (from Weird Scientific discipline), and Deborah Foreman (from Valley Girl). Thankfully, I've been able to see Mia, Ilan, and Deborah since then (but I'one thousand yet waiting for my Michael Schoeffling adventure).
Almost 4 years ago I wrote a letter to Amanda to the final known accost I could find telling her about my idea and want to meet her. Sadly, I never heard back.
I keep trying to understand why this one hurts so much – aside from the obvious loss of someone far also soon, that is. I suppose it's because when I await back over my teenage years, I never stopped trying to be Cindy Mancini. Not consciously, of course, but the photo bear witness makes information technology pretty clear: Aside from the car,
I was a cheerleader,
and I've been growing my hair out pretty much forever to match her incredible mane (this seems to be the longest I can grow it).
Although my suede outfit wasn't beige, I did accept a pink AND a purple suede jacket (no fringe, though) and a matching pink suede skirt.
I even shared her fashion sense with giddy sweaters.
Don't even get me started on the fact that one of Amanda Peterson's beginning roles was on Silvery Spoons opposite my forever dearest, Ricky Schroder. Human being, she got to have both McDreamy AND The Ricker every bit her beloved interests? She was the luckiest girl always!
Amanda was living in Greeley, Colorado with her 2d husband and two children at the time of her death. My heart and thoughts go out to them at this hard fourth dimension. R.I.P. Amanda Peterson. May you exist happily driving off on that lawn mower into the sunset forever. You'll be missed.
