Amanda Pays...More Than Just Eye Candy on Flash TV Show
Amanda Pays was born on June 6, 1959, in London, England and started acting in the United Kingdom.
However, Amanda is best known in the States for her roles as Theora Jones in the movie and television series Max Headroom, and as Christina "Tina" McGee in The Flash TV Show based on the comic book series.
I first saw Amanda on the Flash TV show, where she wasn't used as 'eye candy', but in a more serious role. This was refreshing as most often women are treated other than that on these genre of tv shows or movies!
The Flash was shot as a live action CBS television series from 1990-1991 that starred John Wesley Shipp as the DC Comics superhero, The Flash. It co-starred Amanda Pays.
The series was created by the writing team of Danny Bilson and Paul De Meo while composer Danny Elfman wrote the series’ title theme.
Unfortunately the show only lasted one season, as it was expensive to shoot and the ratings were not as sucessful as the network wanted, due to changing the time slot after running up against the more sucessful shows Cosby Show and Cheers.
The series is now on DVD and is worth watching if you have not seen it before. It is definitely not 'campy', but also not overly 'grim and gritty'.
