When I was just a little "tomboy" girls told me I looked like Robby Benson and I loved that.

I didn’t realize I needed to think about Robby Benson. Thank you for reminding me of his shocking eyes and Ice Castles

Love that you mention David Cassidy’s talent and River Phoenix. Robby Benson was good and I loved ice castles even though the patio furniture had to be the dumbest idea ever.
