Happy 2023!  We are starting this year off with a little drama.  Well, the best kind of drama with actress Joan Van Ark.

Many will remember Joan Van Ark from her 14 years as Valene Ewing in both the Dallas and Knots Landing's series.  If you were watching television in 1980's, chances are Joan Van Ark was on your screen.

We also discuss her love of the theater (she is Tony nominated), her Emmy nomination as a Director for a short documentary on homelessness and her voice over work. 

There is also a reunion between Michelle Lee, Donna Mills and Joan Van Ark in the works.  We will keep you posted as it develops.
