Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

But not Kathleen?

Does anybody recognize the voice at 0:31?  Also, who is that at 1:19?  It sounds a lot like Chris Mann to me, and weren't he and Hallstrom working on a tell-all book about Barker a decade ago?

The one woman's story I want to hear at this point is Janice Pennington's since she's the only one who was dismissed thanks to Barker but hasn't uttered a bad word about him.
It was a golden age of daytime network television... Game Shows... Hosted by people who actually knew that the game was the star... And I wish it was still that way - both that game shows were on all morning and that they were hosted by actual game show hosts. - Bob Purse, Inches Per Second

Kathleen is there at 1:38. In Kathleen's book, she mentions that Janice had a hush clause in her severance package not to speak negatively about Barker. Kathleen was not bound by the same terms. Holly didn't have an NDA or hush clause in her settlement which is why she was able to speak freely.

Would like to see Dian be a part of this, but I don't see it happening.

Yes, but you didn't say she looks great.

In Kathleen's book, she mentions that Janice had a hush clause in her severance package not to speak negatively about Barker.

If that was true, it surprised me greatly she had only nice things to say about Barker in that appearance on ET after his death, by when any such agreement would have been null.

Would like to see Dian be a part of this, but I don't see it happening.

Hers is also the other side of the story that's really missing (not that we'll ever get any straight truth on just how awful Barker was towards any model who ever worked on the show).

Claudia's participation has me curious, though, because as far as I can remember, she did not leave due to any issues with Barker.  Her complaint was against Phil Wayne, who was quietly dismissed after "allegations" were made.

Thank you, sir.

You have an...interesting grasp of the law.  Not correct, mind you, but interesting.

Correct. This show was not titled "Dirty Rotten Scandal" when I was asked to participate (it was billed to me as Untitled Price Is Right Documentary). I realize it's their property and they can do what they want with their stuff, but I'm feeling slightly burnt.

Kathleen does look great, but it was more Claudia and especially Holly who hasn't been seen in 20+ years.

I'm no lawyer, but I believe while hush clauses vs NDA's may be different, they may also be valid even if a party to the agreement passes away. Or maybe Janice just wanted to take the high road.

Off of 20 year memories, I believe Claudia had brought issues to Barker's attention but did nothing about it. I have no doubt what she says will be credible.

I guess it’s not much different than a newspaper using an incendiary headline for a story they pose to interviewees as a throwaway, but I’m sorry they misrepresented themselves, cause that feels icky.
