Reba
Mcentire - (contributed by Jan) - In her biography,
the country singer tells about growing up in the American West,
riding horses, and helping her father with the cattle. She states
that he kept a buggy whip over the door which when needed he:
"Would snap across our behinds." In another part of the
book she said she was once asked if she resented her father`s
whippings and replied that she didn`t. (Confirmed) I haven`t
read Reba`s biography but heard her talk of receiving spankings
with a buggy whip on a TV interview.
Ricky
Lake - (contributed by Thomas) - During a talk show,
when the subject of spanking was raised, the American actress/talk
show host mentioned that she received some spankings while
growing up but gave no more detail.
Sarah Ferguson/Duchess of York - (contributed
by Wolfgang) - I remember an article in a magazine or newspaper
mention that the Duchess was caned at school. She joked something
like: `My bum is too big, maybe that`s because I was caned at
school`.
Sarah
Michelle Gellar - (contributed by Dave) - Sarah
Michelle Gellar was spanked as a child. She said on a TV
interview that when she was really bad her parents would
occasionally put her over their knee and spank her with a wooden
spoon.
Shirley Jones - (contributed
by ciscoman) - The American actress was spanked by her mother,
apparently envious of her success, according to a biography film
on A&E.
Susan
Lucci - (contributed by Raymond) - Most
people know Susan Lucci (famous character Erica Kane on the
television soap "All My Children"). She has been
spanked many times on this TV series. Many years ago I read an
interview given by Susan. She admitted that she had been
titillated by the spankings. She further admitted that she had
flubbed the rehearsed spanking scene several times in one such
eposide and, in order to punish her, the spanker had given her a
hard, real spanking during the filmed scene.
Terry Farrell
- (contributed by James R) - When Terry was 16 years old, she was
invited by The Elite Model agency to come to New York City to
become a model. Terry's mom had to stay back home in Iowa to
raise Terry's 4 sisters. But even so, her mom did not really want
Terry living in New York, and at first would not agree to let
Terry stay in New York. Shortly after arriving in New York, Terry
was befriended by a New York music teacher, a man in his 30's (this
man was not Terry's music teacher, just someone who taught music
for a living). Terry said that he was very kind to her and that
he wanted absolutely nothing in return. They quickly became best
friends and he became like a big brother to her. He was the one
who encouraged Terry to study acting. Terry's mom would only
agree to let Terry stay in New York if this teacher would act as
her guardian. Her mom then gave Terry a complete set of rules
which she had to follow, such as the time she had to be home by
at night. It was up to the teacher to enforce these rules. Terry
said that he was a very strict disciplinarian and that on several
occasions when she did not follow her mom's rules, he put her
across his knee and soundly spanked the seat of her jeans with a
hairbrush. The article also mentioned that Terry and the music
teacher still remained very good friends.
Vanna
White - (contributed by firmhand) - I
remember a few years ago hearing that Vanna White of Wheel of
Fortune fame was quite a handful in school and made a number of
trips to her principal's office and felt his paddle.
