Born Rebecca Renee Olstead, on Jun 18, 1989, in Houston, Texas, USA. Reportedly 5' 3".

She sings. She dances. She does voice-over work. She plays the violin. And she’s on some show called Still Standing.

Never saw it. Nor heard of it. But sometime during the run of the show, this Renee Olstead kid, of whom I was happily ignorant, grew up and forced her way into my peripheral vision with what was among the biggest pair of boobs to regularly appear on English-speaking television.

And of course, Pavlovian dog that I am, I was all ready to sit down and watch an episode or two of Still Standing, but the show itself was no longer standing, having already gone off the air the year before.

Not to worry: There are pictures enough of Renee on the Internet, and while most of them are from her younger days and hold no interest for me, brow-raisingly bosomy candids taken after Still Standing’s fall have also been making the rounds, and convinced me that I need to start watching this girl’s film career.

Assuming, of course, that she gets one again. As of this writing it’s been a year since she was last on the tube, after all, and three for the big screen. I don’t know what she’s waiting for — perhaps her music career to take off — but she’s letting a great rack go to waste in the meantime.

Also sprach Golem.

Monday, June 29, 2009

The Secret Life of Renee Olstead
Friday, May 29, 2009
