Please enjoy this special bonus edition of the TV Confidential podcast honoring the memory of Loni Anderson, the actress known around the world as Jennifer Marlowe on WKRP in Cincinnati. Loni Anderson passed away Sunday, Aug. 3 at age seventy-nine. While we never had the opportunity to interview her directly on TV Confidential, Loni Anderson did appear on our program—kinda sorta—in September 2019, when we brought you remote coverage of the Opening Night ceremonies of a special exhibit at the Hollywood Museum honoring Barbara Eden. Loni Anderson was one of the guest speakers that night. She not only shared a few memories of her forty-plus-year friendship with Barbara Eden (which began when the two of them appeared as guests on a Bob Hope special), but—as you’re about to hear—she described Barbara Eden as “the real bombshell in the audience.”
