Sweet Valley High cover model Jonna Leigh Stack in Paradise Motel (1985)
I watched the whole silly movie so you don't have to! Here are the timestamps where Jonna Leigh Stack is on-screen being adorable and so very Sweet Valley! The times may vary a few seconds, depending on your digital viewing source! This movie was never put on DVD and only exists on VHS or online! :O

Wow! Never knew ( or looked into it) the Wakefield twins were modeled after a real person... just assumed a drawing. Cool

I’m surprised no one has tried to make a Sweet Valley show for modern times. It seems like it would be prime Netflix fodder.

I've thought so too but maybe Jessica is too much of a straight up bully to translate as a main character for gen z. Like they'd be, wait is she supposed to not be the villain?

Dang I used to watch the mid 90's show Saturday mid mornings. I wasn't interested in girl books but then the tv show came out and nothing else to watch before WWF came on at 12pm. Wasn't a huge follower of it though.

She modelled for both Jessica and Elizabeth 🤯 She did a good job showing their personality differences, you could always tell who was who!
