About Lee Gambin
What a joy! How wonderful to hear your mutual love for such a groundbreaking, beloved show. Jennifer’s memories of sharing an hour over tea with the beautiful Valerie Harper killed me, and her praise for Georgia Engel moved me to tears. Great Nancy Walker story too! Was not aware, until hearing Jennifer’s writing credits, that I have all her books and didn’t even realise it! So many of my all-time favourite comedies! Great listening! Thank you!
