Any news on additional seasons of Knots
Landing being released on DVD? Who can we contact to make
this request? |
| |
Unfortunately
I can’t help you with that. When it happens let me
know. |
 |
|
|
Can you please release"The Dottie West Story" on
DVD? |
| |
We are doing that. Keep
an eye out |
|
|
|
Is it true you had a clause in
your Knots Landing contract that you couldn’t become a grandmother
on the show? |
| |
Yes. I know
it might sound like ego… far from it. It was a business
option to prolong a career. |
|
|
|
I had the opportunity to be on the soundstages in Culver City during
the taping of Knots. Just curious if Alexandria, your "stand
in" is still in the Los Angeles area and how she is doing these
days. |
| |
| I haven’t seen her for a while
so I don’t know. Perhaps you can call a union to find
her agent. |
|
|
|
I’d love to see “Scandalous Me” on
DVD. Will you release it? |
| |
| We are talking about it. Hopefully
soon. |
|
|
|
Would you consider doing “Dancing With the Stars”? |
| |
| No, I have too many injuries. Skiing
and dancing. |
|
|
|
Robert Morse in on Mad Men now. How about a
reunion on the show? |
| |
| What a great idea. I love
him and we stay in contact. |
|
|
|
Are there any Knots Landing projects coming up? We
really miss it. |
| |
| I probably miss it more that you. I
would love to do one. The actors do keep in touch. I
visited Julie Harris and Constance MacCashin in Maine last month. |
|
|
|
You were great in “Hello Dolly”. Any
chance that you can bring it to television? |
| |
| I don’t think so. I hear they are going
to do another staged version on Broadway. |
|
|
|
I believe I saw you on an interview or similar type
show years ago where you played the tuba. True or have I completely
lost it? I am a dedicated adult low brass player. |
| |
| It was a Marcus Welby, MD. I
played a Tuba player that had some sort of disease. My “romance” was
Barbra Streisand’s husband, James Brolin. |
|
|
|
How is your son David doing? Is he still acting? |
| |
| He is doing great. He was
married three years ago to a wonderful girl and he is not acting. |
|
|
|
I really don't mean to offend you in any way at all,
and this might seem to be a rather strange thing to say, but I just have
to let you know that I've seen your belly button, and it's one of the
sexiest belly buttons I've ever seen! |
| |
| I don’t remember showing it
but I thank you for that. I was pretty …… healthy. |
|
|
|
Was it difficult filming all the Love Bug scenes in
the car? |
| |
| It was done mostly on a green screen
so they would put a scene in behind us. Also we had many
cars we shot in. they all did different things… one
would shake, one would teeter, etc. |
|
|
|
You and Meg Mullally both played “Rosemary” in “How
to Succeed”. Did you talk about it when you were on “Will
and Grace”? |
| |
| Yes, we both played Rosemary. I
actually met her on her opening night. I was there. We
also talked about when I did that show. |
|
|
|
What was your favorite episode of Knots Landing? |
| |
| Too many to answer. There
were arcs… the twins missing…the loss of Sid Fairgate,
Karen’s first husband… the dealth of Laura (constance
MacCashin) |
|
|
|
You always dress so beautifully and unique. How
would you define your style? |
| |
| Although I have changed through
the years I like simple lines and solid colors. |
|
|
|
When you’re in New York, what do you miss about
Los Angeles? When you’re in Los Angeles, what do you
miss about New York? |
| |
| I actually LOVE both cities for
different reasons (obviously) my family lives in LA. Our
lives are very close and we live near our friends. The weather
can’t be beat. New York gives me “the neighborhood”,
the theater, and many friends. |
|
|
|
What does it feel like to walk onto a rebuilt Knots
Landing set for a reunion show? |
| |
| It was extremely emotional. Going
back in time when people say you can’t. |
|
|
|
The Dottie West album you did was AMAZING. Any
plans on doing another album? |
| |
| I actually have two albums done
years before on Columbia records. You can look them up on
line. |
|
|
|
From seeing you on talk shows, you are definitely
the “wild child” on the Knots Landing cast. Was
showing up to Mac’s office in lingerie a "Michele Lee idea"? |
| |
| It wasn’t my idea, they just knew
my character and I might have that kind of humor. |
|
|
|
I really miss the prime-time series like Knots Landing,
Dallas, etc. Television has changed for the worse with so much
reality television. Do you predict it will get any better? |
| |
| I would be a millionaire. |
|
|
|
You did an episode of “Love American Style” and
wore an incredible bikini! Do you know what season it was and if
it’s available on DVD? |
| |
| I don’t know. Sorry. |
|
|
|
What do you keep in your refrigerator? |
| |
| Mayonaise. eggs. Fruit. Veggies.
2% fat free milk. left-over pasta. Pasta sauces. |
|
|
|
Do you know if any television stations in the US will
rerun Knots Landing soon? |
| |
| No. |
