The View is one of my favorite shows to do, mostly because it has one of the best Green Rooms in the world. For most of the shows I’ve done over the years (and I’ve done a lot) celebrities are kept separate from the other regular guest like me and you never get to see them. The View has everyone sitting in the Green Room together before the show starts and for the entire hour until they are on. I’ve sat next to Alanis Morissette, Debra Messing, Dermot Mulroney, Donald Trump, Angelina Jolie, Andie McDowell, Michael Douglas, and Jerry Orbach and Jesse Martin (actors from Law and Order) to name a few. Now that’s worth a trip to New York any day!

Over the years I’ve been interviewed by each of the women, and of whom did great interviews, especially Barbara Walters, (though Star Jones was much more kind and happy once she started to lose weight and fell in love, before that, well, that’s fodder for another blog). Perhaps one of my favorite View  stories is the time Barbara Walters was interviewing me and at the end of the interview wanted to know if she could take some of the products I had showcased. Of course I said yes, though I’m fairly certain she thought the companies had supplied the products gratis. They hadn’t. These were my own purchases! It was truly adorable, I was flattered that she respected my recommendations and amused that getting them for free was her prerogative. In any event, I look forward to my next appearance on The View. Maybe I’ll get to share a few words with some other fascinating celebrity!
