But as That’s So Raven languishes in a K-Mart bargain bin somewhere in Omaha, we must accept the sad truth: absent the blonde, former child stars haven’t a prayer of retaining their fame. Sorry, Pete and Pete, the masses have spoken: 10 million girls of America want Olsen movies—and clothes and makeup and books...
