The beautiful and talented Daryl Hannah agreed to play a minor role as Miss Crabtree. The geeky teacher found out that Porky and Buckwheat had creatively, but dishonestly, discovered a means of procuring $500 that they wanted to use for the rebuilding of the burned clubhouse.
Initially angered, Miss Crabtree shrewdly diffused her emotions and offered that the money will be used as a prize for the soapbox derby, instead of punishing the two culprits. And it all turned out just fine.
Mary-Kate Olsen's Career
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen initially pursued an acting career together, and that’s how their charm was most effective. Mary-Kate usually took on the role of the Tomboy. After hitting 18, Mary-Kate tried her hand at acting without her sister around.
She landed roles in "Weeds," "Samantha Who?" and "Beastly." Still, in the end, she decided to put acting behind for good, and today she has a fashion line with her sister Ashly.
Ashley Olsen's Career
One can watch both Mary-Kate and Ashley in shows like "Full House", and films like "Double, Double Toil and Trouble" and "To Grandmother’s House We Go." Identical twin roles stopped being available when the two girls stopped being minors.
So, Ashley decided to put acting behind her and start a new chapter in fashion design. She started two luxurious brands with her sister. The fashion world has embraced the twins the way showbiz did when they were kids, and they have earned awards from the Council of Fashion Designers of America on more than one occasion.
Daryl Hannah's Career
Daryl Hannah was arguably the most accomplished actress in the movie, even before it was filmed. Her name helped pull attention to it, even though her role was a minor one. She was an iconic figure of the 80s, and her role in "Splash" remains etched in our hearts to this day. She appeared in "Blade Runner", "Wall Street", "Kill Bill" and many more blockbuster films afterward.
It’s been a long time since her halcyon days in entertainment. As the brightness of her star faded, Hannah actively shifted her focus to environmental causes.
Reba McEntire as A.J. Ferguson
Reba McEntire played the role of A.J. Ferguson, a character that plays a curious part in the overall theme of the movie. Presumed to be a man, she was an Indy race car driver whom the members of the He-Man Women Haters Club idolized, only to be shocked to learn at the end that “the best driver there is” was actually a woman.
A.J. Ferguson was the guest host of Greenpoint’s 73rd Annual Go-Cart Races in which the boys competed. Spanky, the club’s president, idolized her the most and got a kiss on both cheeks that made him happy.
