Growing Pains

cthomer5000 · 09-17-2004, 10:50 AM

A search found nothing about this on FOFC, so I thought'd I'd post it. Mostly just because I find the mugshot so amazing, from a photography perspective it's frankly outstanding.

Tracey Gold In Felony DUI Bust

Son, 7, hurt after "Growing Pains" actress rolled SUV

SEPTEMBER 13--Actress Tracey Gold, who starred in TV's "Growing Pains" and famously went public with her anorexia battle, was arrested earlier this month for drunk driving after rolling her SUV--carrying her husband and three young boys--down a California freeway embankment, The Smoking Gun has learned. The 35-year-old Gold is pictured below in a Ventura County Sheriff's Office mug shot obtained by TSG. Gold was busted by California Highway Patrol officers and charged with a felony count of driving under the influence causing injury. According to a CHP spokesman, Gold was driving a 2001 GMC Yukon on Route 118 on September 3 when she lost control of the vehicle. While Gold's husband and two of her sons (ages five and four months) were not seriously injured in the late-night crash, the actress's oldest child, 7-year-old Sage, suffered a broken clavicle and a head laceration. After CHP officers administered sobriety tests, Gold was arrested on the DUI charge, said CHP spokesman Steve Reid. Booked under her married name, Tracey Gold Marshall, the actress spent five hours in the Ventura lockup before being released on $50,000 bail. She is scheduled for an October 19 appearance in Superior Court. (1 page)

The girlfriend was watching some stupid show on MTV of VH1 about celebrity kids a couple days ago and she was on there with her three boys, such a happy little family...

I dated a girl who was on Growing Pains, but it wasnt Tracey Gold.

rkmsuf · 09-17-2004, 11:01 AM

I'd hit it

cthomer5000 · 09-17-2004, 11:03 AM

I enjoyed her quite a bit on 'Celebrity Mole' last year (I've enjoyed all the mole shows, i think it's by far the best of the 'game' reality shows), so much to the point that I declared she needed to make a comeback. I feel she has very good charisma. She'll probably land a 3-movie deal with lifetime out of this (she's already done lifttim movies... the lowest of low in my book).

On a serious note, I'm just angry that someone would be so reckless with their 3 kids in the car. If the husband was less drunk, why didn't he drive? and if he was as or more drunk, why were you drinking when you were out with the whole family anyway?

Now, I doubt she was loaded or anything, it was more likely one glass of wine too many at dinner. But still, be a little more careful when the whole family is riding with you, sheesh.

edit: and yes, I think she's attractive.

I couldn't understand this either. I wonder what the record is for most family members in the car at the time of a DUI arrest?

Excepting the Kennedy's, of course. I'm talking parents and siblings.

dola,
you're right, that is an amazing picture. and yes, she is cute.

I too don't get how you can get a DUI with your kids in the car. I wont have more than a beer if I'm going to drive with Graham (and usually I wont even have that). Not that I drive under the influence when I'm alone, but if he is going to be in the car, I am extra, extra, extra concious about what I'm drinking.

Actually, isn't it "we're nowhere near the end"?

And yes, I'm a nerd. And, I hate you. That song will be in my head all day.

Ksyrup · 09-17-2004, 11:58 AM

I'm not sure which is more of a turn-off, the fact that the book is read by, or written by, Alan Thicke.

It's still no lock that it wasn't Leo.

or the kid who played Ben; he seems a tad on the fruity side.
in fact, I can totally picture him shreiking out "Hey Brad" in a fit of passion.

She's a nice girl and, as I learned, very religious. Like I said... we dated briefly.

If you had said you dated Young Nancy from Uncle Ben I would have been more impressed.

Ditto. That's not a bad mugshot photo all things factored in. I always had smart, prudish, but crazy in the sack, crush on her character in Growing Pains.

Edit: I think it's the ears in that photo that do it for me.

Swaggs · 09-17-2004, 12:22 PM

I remember her from Diff'rent Strokes.

Swaggs · 09-17-2004, 12:23 PM

Dola...

Where are they now
Massage therapist and mom

DeToxRox · 09-17-2004, 01:34 PM

no one dated jaleel white i suppose?

Buzzbee · 09-17-2004, 01:39 PM

It's good to see that she was at least wearing her seatbelt. I would assume that the rest of them were as well. Probably saved them from more serious injury.

Also, while I don't think she is particularly attractive in that photo, it is strangely mesmerizing.
