Judy Landers on the Johnny Carson Show

Judy Landers on the Johnny Carson Show

Judy Landers was an actress who nailed the role of ditzy blonde in her heyday in the 70s. Her roles were always very fun and entertaining. Some of her movies include her first, Goldie and the Boxer, as well Armed and Dangerous with John Candy, the legendary comedian. She was also known to star in sitcoms like Night Court, Happy Days, BJ and the Bear and Charlie's Angels. You know she was a big star because those are shows that have stood the test of time and stayed in the zeitgeist.

During her interview on Johnny Carson in 1975, she mentioned to Johnny that she had a crush on him. He responded sharply by saying “when did the crush leave you?” Johnny Carson was known for his quick wit and ability to get the best out of the people he was interviewing. Sounds like another classic moment for Johnny.

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

II

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
