On my recent
visit to the set of Burn Notice, I had the pleasure of meeting the cast, including the irrepressible
Bruce Campbell, the plucky Gabrielle Anwar, and the fascinating star of the show, Jeffrey Donovan. They were all wonderful and I was thrilled to participate in a round-table interview with them. However, when I had the chance to shake the hand of
Sharon Gless, the Emmy-winning actress who starred in
Cagney & Lacey, The Trials of Rosie O'Neill and played amazing characters on
Queer as Folk and Nip/Tuck, I have to confess -- I gushed. I couldn't help it. She's Sharon Gless!
I discovered that as brilliant as she is a performer, Sharon Gless is also a class act with the media. She talked about another
Cagney & Lacey, Tyne Daly, acting, playing villains,
Kim Cattrall and much more. Read on and you'll see -- as I did -- why you'd gush to if you were face-to-face with Sharon Gless.

Eternal D-lister Kathy Griffin wants you to help her get off the D list.
She wants off, as she says in commercials currently running on Bravo, so she's going to do an A-list type of thing, and she needs your help. What should she do?
- Join Scientology
- Give Ryan Seacrest a pedi/mani
- Adopt a baby from Namibia
- Release her sex tape with Dame Judi Dench
Not sure how playing with Seacrest's hands and feet will get you on the A list, but I understand the other three.

Three network talk shows passed on
interviewing British actress Judi Dench, and Harvey Weinstein says it's because of her age. Dench is 71 years old and
was recently doing the rounds to promote her movie,
Mrs. Henderson Presents, for which she was nominated for
an Oscar. Weinstein says she was turned down for interviews with
Today,
Good Morning America, and
The View. The producers of those shows reportedly told Miramax that Dench "didn't fit their
demographics."
The View and
GMA released statements in response to Weinstein's
whining, both saying that there wasn't room for Dench on their shows at that particular time. Both trumpeted Dench's
previous appearances on their programs.
Didn't they try
The Early Show on CBS? That show is so
desperate for ratings, they'll take anyone.
