Family and friends in other states always thought that was SB life although it was filmed in Burbank. A lot of glamor and fun. Good memories!
Before they arrived in Santa Barbara, they sent a woman to town to ask me what was happening politically in town. The writers wanted some inside stories to inspire them. We talked for an hour about the city. None of it ever appeared on the show….The show really wasn’t about Santa Barbara…What was really happening in Santa Barbara at the time was a lot more interesting than anything on that silly show.
