Episode 38 - Interview with Dana Wheeler-Nicholson We're cracking open the nostalgia vault in our latest episode as we're joined by the talented Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, the captivating beauty from the movie 'Fletch'. Dana pulls back the curtain on her exhilarating journey in showbiz, starting from her first foray into acting, straight through to her stellar breakthrough at a tender age of 23. With a hearty serving of laughter, Dana narrates the amusing anecdotes from the 'Fletch' set, including Chevy Chase's improvisation antics and the peculiar intermissions between takes.
As we jumped between decades, Dana transports us back to her experiences during the filming of 'The Battle of Shaker Heights' for Project Greenlight, and trust us, it's a riveting tale.
