LAUREN TEWES

Some actresses get their “big break” through a major TV or film role, while others find it through a Lipton Iced Tea commercial. Well, at least, that was the case for Lauren Tewes. Not only did it allow her to become part of the Screen Actors Guild Awards, it also gave her the opportunity to work with an agent. Those two things created more possibilities for her in the realm of television and film. In the beginning, however, it wasn’t all smooth sailing.

Fortunately, she later nabbed the role of Sharon Freemont in Starsky and Hutch. This was where she caught the attention of media mogul Aaron Spelling. Following this, she was cast in The Love Boat, Eyes of a Stranger, and The New Mike Hammer, among others. These days, she gets the most credit for her work in radio as part of the Imagination Theatre.
