...Blind Date appearance into stints on dating-game shows SexWars (she won $4,000) and Friends or Lovers. Ryan played the wild girl on her date, coaxing her beau into a hot-tub dip (surprise!) and a shower. The budding nightclub singer said her bikinied escapades helped increase her, er, visibility. "So many customers would tell me they saw me," she says. "They've played my segment close to 80 times...

And it turns out we critics got it all wrong: NBC's funny-for-the-wrong-reasons chefcom "Emeril" got an Emmy nomination (Outstanding Art Direction for a Multi-Camera...
Yoder's calls and letters touched many. Reporter George Pawlaczyk of the Belleville News-Democrat began writing stories about Yoder, and other papers followed. A columnist for the Natal Witness, South Africa's oldest newspaper, took up Yoder's cause. So did Dr. Patch Adams. Adams worked in the er at St. Elizabeths, a Washington mental hospital, during the '70s and '80s. Previously, in 1963, he was himself a patient at a psychiatric hospital for two weeks.
