My friend and SitcomsOnline news blogger extraordinare Pavan Patel recently broke news about my new interview with Dawn Wells on my pop culture webzine Retroality.TV ... I thought I'd post a permalink here for those of you who may be interested!
www.Retroality.TV/RetroHotDawnWells1.html
In case you don't know, I'm the guy who wrote the "Three's Company" book, "Come and Knock on Our Door." I've been a "Gilligan's" fan since I was a kid in the late '70s, and it was an honor to interview Dawn. I think you'll enjoy her very candid comments about Tina Louise, Sherwood Schwartz and the rest of the gang.
Thanks for stopping by my website when you can ... and I'd be so grateful if you shared Dawn's interview with your friends -- online and off .
Sincerely,
Chris Mann
