Kuehl first stepped into the limelight as a sitcom star, playing the teenage Zelda Gilroy on "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis," in the late 50s and early 60s. During her stint on "Dobie Gillis," she also first stepped into an identity as lesbian, which she said was both freeing and fatal to her television career...
...their lives. Now there is an agent, a tour, deals in the works. Before the nationals, the big money in skating bypassed this modest team. Even before the tragedies of the early '90s, life had not been easy. Jess Galindo had been a busy trucker, carting rocket fuel from Gilroy, California, to Carson City, Nevada.

She just reprises her addiction roles from "Dorothy Parker...

A drunk and a wife beater, Joe St. George is Dolores' husband and Selena's father-so suspiciously sweet with the latter that we know long before we're told that he lusted unnaturally for her when she was a child and is the source of her repressed memories--and more than deserves the bad end Dolores arranges...
