Iran-Contra: what the stars of the hit eighties scandal did next

You know how you've driven yourself half insane wondering what happened to the female breakout star of the Iran-Contra affair? Whilst her boss, Colonel Oliver North (retired) is now writing tenuously sane opinion columns for Lost in Showbiz's favourite publication, Soldier of Fortune magazine, and providing a masturbation recovery service for the lonely guys who watch his Fox News show, the whereabouts of shredder-happy secretary Fawn Hall have been totally ignored by the paparazzi. Until now.

Here's a look at the way she was, and here... well, here is the final, incontrovertible proof that the celebrity universe is expanding at twice the speed of the civilian one that spawned it. We will all be the casualties. Yes, those videorazzi apocalypse harbingers at TMZ.com have - covertly, it would appear - snatched this vital footage of erstwhile National Security Council clerical worker Fawn at work in a book store.

Ever feel like the definition of "entertainment personality" is getting that bit too elastic? Anyway, having failed to tempt her into discoursing on Diablo Cody's spirited demolition of a million dollar footwear stunt at the Oscars, the TMZ cameraman does succeed in eliciting from Fawn the kind of misplaced, faintly unsisterly comment we could all make in the heat of ringing a sale of reading matter through the cash register. Watch, marvel, then lay in supplies of duct tape and canned goods.
