Mrs. Loni Flick? Nope, that won't work

MAY 20, 2008

Loni_anderson Call her "Jennifer Marlowe" or "Pembrook Feeney." Once you could even call her Mrs. Burt Reynolds. Just don't call her Loni Flick!

Loni Anderson, 62, married '60s folk singer Bob Flick on Saturday. Anderson first met Flick back in 1960 when his band -- The Brothers Four -- was king of the pop charts with the song "Greenfields," the Associated Press reports. And yes, the former "WKRP In Cincinnati" star is keeping her own last name.

Need another '80s angle? OK, but you won't like it. At the ceremony, according to the AP, Loni's granddaughters "wore the same diamond hearts the actress wore in the 1983 movie 'Stroker Ace.' " Even Burt cringes when anyone mentions that "flick."
