([url]http://www.gossipcop.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/0926_robert_heyes_wi_full-300x300.jpg[/url]) I remember seeing a WBK episode where John Travolta was complaining about his "Girlitis" disease and was showing what his body does when he sees a pretty girl "My hips automatically sway, my teeth automatically flash and my eyes automatically sparkle." The trouble was he was using Epstein's lady for demo purposes: Epstein's reply (with Kotter holding him back) was "How'd you like your eyes automatically black, huh?" :teddyr: Title: Re: Robert Hegyes, Epstein of ‘Welcome Back Kotter’ Fame, Dead at 60 Post by: Flick James on February 04, 2012, 02:10:43 PM The Sweat Hogs were the ultimate "culturally diverse" gang of the time period, well before people were so concerned about racial quotas and policital correctness. You have an Italian guy, a Black guy, a Polish guy, and Epstein, and Puerto Rican Jew. Wow. Epstein was almost the punchline of the ethnic profile of the Sweat Hogs. Fast-forward 15 years and the Sweat Hogs would most certainly have included an Asian in the mix. Fast-forward to today and you'd probably have an Indian or a Middle-Eastern guy added.
