Met her at a tanning salon in LA. She was absolutely delightful. Had a lovely chat and she was totally down to earth and patient.
Have never seen an interview with Cheryl Hines before. Very impressive, attractive woman. Likeable individual.
I remember seeing Cheryl on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack. She definitely paid her dues in the industry. She’s a class act for sticking by Bobby with all the pressure from her co-stars.
Great guest, great show. 👍
