Obsessive Love (1984) TV Movie

"Her fantasy is to possess him. But now, it had become an obsession." The ad copy for the TV movie "Obsessive Love" said it all. Yvette Mimieux stars as the "number one fan" of soap-opera actor Simon McCorkindale. Not content with an autographed 8X10 glossy, Mimieux plots and plans to seduce McCorkindale and ruin his marriage to Constance McCashin. It could be worse: Yvette Mimieux could have been Kathy Bates. The best scenes go to Lainie Kazan as the Agnes Nixon-ish soap opera creator. Co-produced and co-written by Ms. Mimieux, "Obsessive Love" made its TV debut on October 2, 1984 ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Karen's Song (1987) TV series

When Fox launched its primetime schedule in 1987, most critics believed that "Karen's Song" and George C. Scott's "Mr. President" were the young network's best chance at success. Both starred Oscar winners and had innovative concepts. However, neither show lasted longer than a season. Instead, "Married with Children" , a sitcom often overlooked by critics and network executives, became Fox's break-out show.
