Un-Papered Cats who acted on television–forget film–were a rarity back in the 70s. But Starry Knight had made it. She ended up on Every Morning I’m Me, the number one soap opera for a very brief period in the mid-seventies.

Originally, there was marked aggravation from studio execs who were never to keen on banking on un-tested felines. Oh but Starry had been tested in her short life. She’d been through a helluva lot. And she showed it on camera in a sort of stoic believability that drew viewers–not right away, but over a period of time. She ended up t-shirts, lunchboxes, and was seized upon by mattel.

Unfortunately like most animals in this business she turned to drugs and sex and her career ended early.

Or had it? For she certainly wasn’t over the hill, still in her prime most would say.

Someone decided to give her one more shot.
