Any
chance of you doing a one woman show? I love your voice and personality. |
| |
As a matter of fact I have been working on a one-woman
show. Mostly singing and stories of my life. Aimed at having fun.
We will keep you informed. |
 |
|
|
Did
you enjoy working with Dean Jones in The Love Bug -- and do you ever
see him now? |
| |
I
see Dean Jones very rarely but we are very fond of each other.
He is a wonderful person. |
|
|
|
You
were great in Along Came Polly. Did you have fun making the film?
Any fun stories to share? |
| |
I
just loved Jennifer Aniston. She was a real “girlfriend.” Very
down to earth. So was Debra Messing. She was talking of having
a baby and was always emailing her hubby from the set. I hope
she wasn’t asking him to get over to the studio when she
took her temp. |
|
|
|
We
loved you on Miss Match! Any chance your character will return? Will
the show return in the fall? |
| |
| I
waited so long to answer this that we all know the answer now.
It was fun on the set, Very relaxed. Ryan is a comic and I love
to laugh. |
|
|
|
What’s
your all-time favorite Broadway show? New favorite? |
| |
| I
think Gypsy is probably the best old-fashioned (in a good sense
of the word) musical. It transcends time. Mame is a close second.
It is very appropro at this time. Death of a Salesman and Streetcar
Named Desire are the best dramas. |
|
|
|
Do
you agree that on Knots Landing Karen represented the picture of
the perfect wife, mother and woman? What was her flaw? |
| |
| Her “flaw” was
that she didn’t always think of the consequences of her
actions when she thought there was an injustice being done to
someone or something. |
|
|
|
I
loved "That Loveable Bug" on The Love Bug DVD. |
| |
| I
am sorry I didn’t see it. I will now though. |
|
|
|
I
saw one of your guest appearances on "The Perry Mason" show.
What can you remember about that experience? |
| |
| I
don’t remember doing any Perry Mason episode. Oh God, what
does that mean. |
|
|
|
At
the CBS Anniversary Special, did your Seesaw co-star Ken Howard appear? |
| |
| I
didn’t see him. He might have been there. There were many
of us. He is another man I adore. |
|
|
|
There
is a rumor that you may return to Broadway in Mame. Any truth to
this? |
| |
| From
your mouth to God’s ear. I am playing Mame at the Hollywood
Bowl in Los Angeles with a 72-piece orchestra and a terrific
cast. It opens August 1st and it closed August 1st. ONE NIGHT
only. |
|
|
|
When
you worked in “Big Dreams and Broken Hearts: The Dottie West
Story” was it hard to remember the song lyrics? |
| |
| No,
because I had lived with her music for so many years. It was
in development for three. |
|
|
|
Are
you a longtime friend and/or fan of the late Bob Hope? |
| |
| I
only worked with him once but saw him at all the Hollywood functions
when he was in better heath. I knew many comedians of that age
because I was singing in those days and everyone loved new up
and comers. |
|
|
|
Did
you ever win a talent show as a young teen? |
| |
| I
won best entertainer in high school voted on by classmates. That’s
it. |
|
|
|
I
am trying to find out the true story behind the movie "My Son
Johnny". I would like to read the actual story but have not
been able to find out where it actually took place and whom it is
based upon. Can you give me any details? |
| |
| It
was a true case. You can look up Carla Singer, the producer.
She lives in New York. She may have the information. Or the writer,
if you have the movie. |
|
|
|
Do
you remember your first car? I think I sold it to you/your mother? |
| |
| I
believe it was a blue and white Plymouth convertible. I loved
it. But then I also had an Alpha Romeo. Black. A stick shift. |
|
|
|
Have
you ever worked with Roseanne Barr? If so, where? What is she like
to work with? |
| |
| I
haven’t worked with her. I have only met her and she seems
as outrageous as you would think. |
|
|
|
Is
there any person (actor, singer) with whom you have not worked whom
you would like to work with? |
| |
| I’d
like to do a musical with Sir Anthony Hopkins. Also Tom Selleck.
I wonder if he sings? Marian Seldes? |
|
|
|
Of
the places you have traveled, which one stands out and why? |
| |
| I
love St. Maartin. It is in the Caribbean. French and Dutch sides.
Great food. Beautiful people. Also, I know this sounds funny,
I love Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Arizona. Body. Mind. Spirit. It
makes you feel alive. |
|
|
|
Do
you prefer Grey Poupon or French's Yellow mustard? |
| |
| I
am not a mustard eater. Not on hot dogs or hamburgers or etc.
I love mustard sauces on chicken or? |
|
|
|
Do
you have a favorite song by The Beatles? |
| |
| I
should say Michelle. I love Something (I don’t want to
leave Her/him now) I love Imagine. |
|
|
|
Did
you spend your time in Germany? If yes, which city did you visit? |
| |
| I
have not spent time in Germany. I want to go. I have many pen
pals who were great Knots Landing fans. |
|
|
|
The
time you did the escape artist bit on Circus of the stars looked
really dangerous! Were you fearful doing that stunt? How long did
you prepare for it? Will Circus of the Stars ever be on video or
DVD? |
| |
| I
did more than one so I don’t know which one you are talking
about. There was fire. A little hairy. I acted so well that everyone
got scared. But I was okay. |
|
|
|
Have
you seen Donna Mills lately? How is she doing? I enjoyed the adversarial
relationship you shared on screen. I always liked seeing photos of
you two out in public together having fun. |
| |
| I
know. Isn’t it funny. She is an okay babe. She is doing
fine, and just as gorgeous as ever. |
|
|
|
Did you reunite with The Love Bug cast to record the DVD commentary?
What was that like? |
| |
| We
were not in the same room together. We did it separately. On
different days. But as you know Buddy Hackett passed away. I
was at his funeral and at the family home afterwards. |
|
|
|
Do
you have any information on Knots being released on DVD? |
| |
| If
you hear let me know. I’ll buy them all! |
|
|
|
You
sang a beautiful song in an episode dedicated to your TV son after
his death in 1990. What was the name of the song, and is it available
in a recorded format? |
| |
| I
didn’t record it. It was a Barry Manilow song. I believe
it is in his Christmas CD. The Children. |
|
|
|
Are
you considered a soprano or a mezzo? |
| |
| If
I sang opera. But I am an “alto.” My voice is very
typical pop or Broadway and it is considered low. |
|
|
|
Do
you shop online? And if so, what are some of your favorite stores? |
| |
| I
have only shopped on Ebay and bought some of my things. Funny? |
|
|
|
Your
voice is fantastic. When are you going to do another CD? |
| |
| Thank
you. thank you. I would love too. I don’t know. |
|
|
|
Do
you speak any French? |
| |
| No.
I can say. “What is your name?” and “My name
is Michele.” But obviously I cannot spell it. |
