My heart breaks, but I hold the memory of
playing Roxane to Richard Chamberlain's
Cyrano de Bergerac at the Ahmanson Theater in 1973.

Joan appeared in Palm Springs last year with Michele and Donna in an evening discussing, among other things, their days on "Knots Landing" on its 40th Anniversary.

It's a record of some great memories and accomplishments over the years.
