Working on a mini RHODA documentary! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hello everyone! I am currently planning on making a documentary all about RHODA for my film class. I was just wondering if anyone here knows anyone I could interview for it (as I need to interview at least 2 people for it)? I have also thought about reaching out to Julie Kavner's stepdaughters (as they follow me on instagram) about possibly interviewing Julie Kavner, but I'm not sure Julie will be willing to do an interview so I'm trying to find backup just in case. Also, cool/rare RHODA related photos anyone has that I can use as b-roll will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I did get to meet Beverly Sanders ("easy Susie") some years ago at Vons market and assume she lives in the Studio City area, but I have no means of contacting her; perhaps if you find her manager or company that represents her, that might be a way?! I told her the early episode "The Party" was one of the best and she remarked,"Every bitch in town was in that one"! Hilarious!

Ok update so a close(?) friend of Valerie's reached out to me on Facebook (I had made a post in the RHODA facebook group on there) and she has agreed to be interviewed! Also, Valerie's husband may or may not be helping me out with b-roll stuff (same with Julie's stepdaughter) so that's pretty awesome! Also, my documentary won't be done until sometime in April

Would you post it anywhere we can see it?

That would be great! Also, it would be great if Julie could be interviewed, too--I guess that's too much to hope for.

It will be up on my YouTube Channel some time in May (maybe even late April). I'll 100% post the link on here for those to see!

I did reach out to her stepdaughter and unfortunately Julie is unable to do the interview

Ok hi it's me again. I need some help coming up with questions to ask the person I am interviewing (who is not Julie Kavner unfortunately). I thought of one which is "What were some of Valerie’s favorite memories from being on the set of Rhoda?". I need some help brainstorming some more questions. So, if you were going to ask someone who knew Valerie Harper personally questions about Valerie on RHODA, what would you ask them? Thanks!
