Michelle Thomas was born in 1969. So she was 16. Not 7.

If that's the case, she was one of the youngest "Miss Teen New Jersey" winners (1985) in the history of the pageant, at the age of 7.
"chicka-chick-ahhhhhhhhh"

In 1992, Jenna was 15 and starred on "Blossom".

I did see it a couple of years ago and it was really sad because it seemed that Jenna and Michelle were becoming really close friends. Michelle was talented and had a lot of promise. I do think Michelle and Jenna could have been successful in a sitcom together.

My brother was looking up several old sitcoms and there were mistakes on IMBD. If you find mistakes and can correct them, please do!

"Wow,
That was touching.
But, Michelle died on the 22nd of December. And, she was 29.
She did not die on the 23rd of December, and she was not 30.
How I know this?
Do the math."

I just read Jenna's tribute and it was absolutely beautiful and correct. I met Michelle in 1992, I was about 9 years old. She had become a friend and client of my mother and I simply adored her. I was blessed to know her and to have her apart of my life if even for such a short time. I'll never forget when my mom told me that Michelle passed away, it just didn't seem real because she was so full of life and bright and beautiful. As an adult now in my twenties, the same age as Michelle was when she met me I wonder if it was all a dream and she just took a break from hollywood after six years it just doesn't seem real or that long ago that my mom was telling me she was dead. I miss her, but I am thankful that I was able to be apart of her life and she apart of mine.
Love you Michelle!
love,
your little pretty girl
