To hear Ruth recall her reaction as she was mid-trauma, is to hear her honest truth. I real...

The Days and Lives of Singer/Actor Gloria Loring

In the fabulous '80s one of my best friends, Peggy Goff Bottger, and I each moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Thanks to that friendship I met, and often stayed at the home of, her sister - singer/actor/author Gloria Loring. Gloria was glamorous, inspiring, and a bonafide celebrity. They were heady times for me...meeting other soap stars (one of which she was dating, which you'll hear her talk about), going to a Halloween party at the home of her ex-husband Alan Thicke (I will never for...

Amy Hill has been a mom for twenty years in real life, and even longer in her acting life: from Grandma Kim (All American Girl), Mama Tohru (Jackie Chan Adventures), Ah-Mah Jasmine Lee (The Life and Times of Juniper Lee), Mah Mah (American Dad!) to even being ON the hit comedy, "Mom".

Deborah Burns and I basically reenacted that line from "Pretty Woman" when we met over hors d'oeuvres at an industry event: "What happens when (s)he rescues the princess? (S)he rescues him right back!" We bonded over boredom and brie and traded business cards. The kind of exchange that means well, but ends up in the card pile of good intentions.But fate stepped in and just several days later we each showed up at a totally unrelated cocktail party! And that was the beginning of another r...
