Unrecognizable Claudia Lonow Makes Rare Public Appearance in LA
KNOTS LANDING LEGEND CLAUDIA LONOW SPOTTED IN LA, WORKING ON NEXT BIG PROJECT!
The iconic star of Knots Landing, Claudia Lonow, was recently spotted in Los Angeles, busy with her laptop and a Starbucks cup by her side. The 62-year-old actress, who has been a fixture in Hollywood for decades, looked like she was getting down to business in an outdoor seating area, her attention riveted on the screen of her sticker-adorned keyboard.
But what's new with Claudia? Well, let us tell you! After her time on Knots Landing came to an end in 1993, Claudia continued to work tirelessly in showbiz. She's had a hand in developing several projects over the years, including Boss, a show inspired by her own life, which was reportedly in development back in 2023 (according to Deadline). But what's the status of that project now? We're not sure, but we do know Claudia has been keeping busy!
Just last week, she directed D(E)AD, a dark family comedy that had its debut screening at the Dynasty Typewriter theater in LA. And if you thought she was just a one-trick pony, think again! Claudia has an impressive array of credits on her IMDb profile, including writing gigs on Friends with Benefits and Cashmere Mafia, as well as appearances on Beverly Hills, 90210, The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and more.
But Claudia's not just a talented actress - she's also got a knack for drawing from real life. Her own experiences have inspired several projects over the years, including How to Live with Your Parents (for the Rest of Your Life), a semi-autobiographical TV series that aired back in 2013. The show followed the life of a woman who moves back in with her parents - something Claudia has experienced firsthand.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter back in 2012, Claudia dished about how everything on the show was based in reality. "It's unbelievable, I know," she said. "I've been thinking about the show and talking about the show and pitching the show for years. Literally, I've spent the past 10 years amassing stories and working on the pilot, and it's been placed at places [on cable]. I've been obsessed."
And it seems like Claudia is still going strong! She recently appeared at the Hollywood Show with her fellow Knots Landing co-stars Tonya Crow and Paul Carafotes. During the event, she shared some juicy behind-the-scenes secrets about life on the set of Knots Landing.
"I remember when we were told to 'Mirrors down, ladies'," Claudia recalled. "What you don't know is that in the couches or even around the set, everybody had a hand mirror. You'd be doing your scene and they'd say 'cut,' and Michele, me, everybody, would reach in between [the couches] and put the mirror up and makeup and hair would come around."
Claudia was referencing co-star Michele Lee's father, who just so happened to be a makeup artist extraordinaire. "Michele's father was a makeup guy, so she was really on top of the makeup and the lighting," Claudia said.
And let's be real - we can't get enough of Claudia's glamorous life! But what's next for this Hollywood legend? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: with her talent, work ethic, and infectious personality, Claudia Lonow is a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry.
Claudia's Style File
But Claudia wasn't just busy working on her laptop - she was also looking fabulous! The 62-year-old actress rocked a casual yet chic look, complete with a jean jacket, flowing brown trousers, and chunky sandals. She carried her belongings in a black backpack and wore her signature smart black-rimmed glasses.
We can't help but wonder what's next for this talented actress. Will she direct another film? Write another show? Or maybe even star in something new? Whatever it is, we know Claudia Lonow will be bringing the heat!
