Writer’s Strike Makes for Oscars “Plan B”

Rain, Bundt Cake and Henry Winkler
It’s just before eight in the morning and it’s raining in Los Angeles. The city is still asleep. Its cars are waiting anxiously in their driveways to fill the empty streets. As our crew drives out of Hollywood and to our location the GPS is blaring “your destination is on the right in 1.3 miles.” In just a few moments WEBN reporter Hallie Anoff, technology manager Jonathan Satriale and I will be in Henry Winkler’s living room for a WEBN exclusive interview.
