FLASH IN THE PAN CHICKS OF THE EIGHTIES
Once again we take a stroll down the eighties amnesia lane. Our featured babe is none other than Martha Quinn, stepdaughter of finance guru Jane Bryant Quinn and the first, and IMHO, the greatest, of the MTV video jockeys. Best quality: that slightly twisted way about her that screams "head case!" that men find so attractive at first, then later so annoying. Post-MTV: short-lived film career in such movies as Chopper Chicks in Zombietown. Last seen with Max Headroom at a gathering of the charter group of the Eighties Preservation Society.

Posted by: GroovyVic at August 10, 2005 06:30 AMHad a HUGE crush on "the mighty" Martha Quinn. Back in the days when MTV actually played videos, she was a breath of fresh air - really down-to-ear. Kind of like the girl you were really good friends with in high school, but never thought to ask out until it was too late and she already had a boyfriend. A nice contrast to the space-cadet Nina Blackwood - who always seemed like she just smoked a big fatty.
