Medium Post: Cutting My Teeth on Celebrity Stories

And this brings me back to my friend Kim*--remember you had to interview--was it Joan Lunden--and touched on her upcoming seat on the "Today Show" couch?

Good night.

*Kim and I met at our first job in the early 1980s.

  2. Hey Alice, no, not Joan Lunden, but I interviewed Genie Francis, the famed "Laura" of Luke and Laura (in its 1980s heyday) of General Hospital. I actually interviewed her in her UWS home for a soap opera mag, so that was cool! I did do some quickie one-question interviews at Woman's Day--mostly fielded stuff from PR agents, but I did get Debbie Reynolds on the phone--cannot remember what the Q&A even was! So fun to have brushes with celebrity in our work!

    1. So cool!!!! Laura! I didn’t watch General Hospital, but I remember the commuter lounge at college, where all the commuters hung out between classes. I wandered in, I think, on the day of L & L’s wedding and could not believe the huge crowd! :)
