#Juniper lee episode 25 professional#
Since her start as a professional singer at age 16 she’s sung on the Emmy Awards, The Johnny Carson Show, The Golden Globes, even The Academy Awards. She is also the co-composer of the theme songs for Diff’rent Strokes and The Facts of Life. This is a paean to inheriting new friends and never forgetting the old ones… while remembering always It’s Quite a Living.įor Gloria Loring, whom you might know as the singer of the hit song, Friends & Lovers, sung with Carl Anderson, or you might know her as Liz Chandler on Days of Our Lives. Peggy and I had many adventures in the 80s/90s of Los Angeles - from traveling together to standing up as her maid of honor - and that spiritual side served us well as we talked about her beliefs as she bravely fought a terminal illness. I even got some cooking lessons along the way. They were heady times for me…meeting other soap stars (one of which she was dating, which you’ll hear her talk about), going to a Halloween party at the home of her ex-husband Alan Thicke (I will never forget arriving in my Bette Midler costume and making divots in his backyard from my high heels….) and yes, even babysitting occasionally for her sons Brennan, and now star in his own right, Robin Thicke.īut I learned a lot of life lessons from Gloria - and Peggy - exposed to her spiritual side, as I watched her marry her next love and teach us about yoga. Gloria was glamorous, inspiring, and a bonafide celebrity. Thanks to that friendship I met, and often stayed at the home of, her sister – singer/actor/author Gloria Loring. In the fabulous ’80s one of my best friends, Peggy Goff Bottger, and I each moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

This is a bright, candid, compassionate, loud, sensitive and funny woman who cannot help but help, and who cannot stop giving, right down to the food from her own plate, inspiring people to pitch in too. This is not a preachy podcast but she does thank the Lord. I realized why her campaign handle is “tRuth.” To hear her describe her path - from “having a child as a child”, to her continuing education both on the street as a peace officer, and in the classroom, to hear her heart break a little in talking about those same streets - is to hear the truth that we all must embrace.

To hear Ruth recall her reaction as she was mid-trauma, is to hear her honest truth. To say this was a tough Zoom event would be an understatement. It was just a year ago, only days after George Floyd was killed, and Ruth was asked to share with the group of all white women, her thoughts on this devastation. She had begun a campaign for a city council seat in Harlem and it an introduction to she and her local artist friend, Flash.
