I have no idea why I thought this... perhaps because Zimbalist and Gymnast are phonetically similar?When I saw American Anthem with Janet Jones I remember thinking to myself, "Oh sure, cast the pretty blonde as the championship gymnast... I guess Stephanie Zimbalist wasn't good enough for you?!?" It was really strange, the zeal with which I came to Ms. Zimbalist's (unneeded) defense. And I don't think I harbored any crush on her either. If anything, I feel like knowing this bit about her gymnastics past helped mitigate for me her questionable acting skills and Pam Dawber-lite vibe.sidenote: I unearthed my notebook from the Schad radio writing retreat and on my page of Jon Voigt brainstorms was this: "You remind me of a young Ricky Scroeder/Stephanie Zimbalist"... the fuck?
