- Gosh, I remember when we were shooting the show, there was nothing cornier in Hollywood. It was all about 'Maude' and 'Laverne & Shirley.' But where are those shows today? We're still on the air.
- The 70s were an exploratory time with the women's movement, the free love, and there was lots of marijuana and drugs; I was in my early 20s and an actress in a town where there were many nice looking men available. They were interested. I had a wonderful time, and I have no regrets.
