View attachment 138486
for anyone NOT familiar with this lady, see was a REAL family court judge (before that a lawyer) in Manhattan, 60 Minutes did a profile on her in early 90's, some producer saw it can gave her a "reality" show like the then very popular "People's Court"
Where Judge Wapner in PC was a no-nonsense "grandfatherly" curmudgeon .. well Judge Judy took it all to a new level ..
here's 3 minutes but after 30 seconds you'll get the gist .. and then you'll ask WHERE for 20 years do they keep finding people who KNOW what's gonna happen to them in front of that lady ... SMH here.
Number 1 show in daytime TV .. 15 million a year salary for her, no DOUBT and no matter what we think, people like watching her show and makin' "new ones" for people everyday. So in her mid 50's, fortune smiled on Family Court Judge Scheindlin -- and made her filthy rich.
rapidtrans was first to get her, Big_John, 69CoronetRT, and 65sporty PM'd me. Folks chimed in and tried to help with some clever, neat hints. gentlemen and scholars all of you. Mrs. 65sporty is reported to have actually gotten her -- she's good with faces alone .. so a "gentlewoman" and scholar award goes to her for addin' to the fun.
as to the hints the "JJ" stuff was a name-related, time slot for the show gave ya daytime TV, the '69 "Poncho" Pontiac "The Judge", and a couple others I gave, etc. to help people along too.
If you didnt recognize her (she looked familiar but I couldnt place her honestly) from a 50 year old photo, the best way to solve this MAY have been "follow the money" .. highly paid, 74 yr old, reality TV stars who are women might have been good place to start/narrow the search.
