The women of The Love Boat – where are they now?

Lauren Tewes was cast to play the cheerful cruise director of the Pacific Princess, Julie McCoy, only one day before she began filming for The Love Boat. She was chosen from a group of 100 actresses after the director saw an episode of Starsky and Hutch that she had guest starred on, and she received a call at 9:00 pm telling her to report to set at 6:30 the next morning. She did, and The Love Boat became the big break she was waiting for. Tewes was much loved for her bubbly, smiley portrayal of the cruise director, who spent much of each episode walking around chatting with the passengers and advancing the plot.
