Oh Mickey, You Were So Fine

The 64-year-old resurfaced at a party for Bette Midler's new show (which Toni choreographed) in Vegas on Thursday, looking miraculous.
Toni Basil
Basil was 39 when she donned her old Las Vegas High School cheerleader's uniform for the "Mickey" video.
Gwen Stefani essentially remade Toni's "Mickey" video with her 2005 video for "Hollaback Girl."

46. I met Toni Basil at a casino in Conn. She was coming out of from her spa treatment. I stopped her quickly and
said I was big fan of hers. She looked at me like I was a piece of dirt. These Hollywood types are all the same. She
should have been grateful that someone recognized her and appreciated her talent after not being in the public eye
for 25 + years! I cringe when I hear that stupid song now!

50. TMZ, whaddyah mean WERE so fine?? She looks great and is holding up well for a 64-year-old; and it's nice to know she's still active in the arts, doing choreography. You only wish you'll be alive and well at that age!!

GO MICKEY!!!

57. To me, she looks like she's had way too much work done which usuallly makes the victim look older. Example:Joan Rivers.

Wow, it's a good thing a white person didn't say that about a non-white person. I'm not calling you a racist or anything but, at the very least, you're an age-ist.

59. Yeah, I'm with LAS. I heard she died years ago, I forgot from what but I heard she was dead. Well, it's cool as hell that she ain't but y'all should look into that.
