...lillies and red zinnias from the Maury Povich Show. "Our hearts go out to you," says the note. Roseanne has called. So has Barbara Walters. So far, Johnson has said no to TV people: "I don't want to get on the circuit." It will just lead to more sleepless nights groggily flipping through channels that are all the same: SWITCHED AT BIRTH, the graphics screech. Her picture is everywhere...
