<description>Susan and Sharon are thrilled to sit down with award-winning singer, songwriter, actress -- and stuntwoman -- Marneen Fields. As a gymnast, swimmer and stuntwoman in the 1970s and 80s, Marneen’s career sky-rocketed with roles on &lt;i&gt;Scarecrow &amp;amp; Mrs. King, Lou Grant, Quincy, Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries, The Man from Atlantis, The Fall Guy, Murder She Wrote, Dynasty&lt;/i&gt; -- as well as the Clint Eastwood film &lt;i&gt;The Gauntlet&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it was only after a devastating car accident ended her career as a stuntwoman that Marneen found her way back into life by finally embracing her childhood dream of writing and singing songs.  Her story is one of resilience, renewal -- and the power of persevering when life’s challenges seem overwhelming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;THE CONVERSATION&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;FIRST BASS: What do you do when you’re the littlest girl in school -- but end up having to playing biggest instrument -- the stringed bass?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How a background in gymnastics led Marneen directly into her career as a stuntwoman.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;IN DEMAND: As an experienced stuntwoman in Hollywood, Marneen’s phone rang off the hook for 15 years.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;THE FALL GIRL: In 1976-77, Marneen was one of the top stuntwomen in the world.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;ROSES FROM BRUCE: One of her favorite acting jobs was playing Lee Stetson’s long-lost love “Dorothy” on Scarecrow &amp;amp; Mrs. King.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;FALLING FOR “QUINCY”: What is it like doing a high-fall off a 76-story building in puffy slippers and a negligee?!?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The secret of being a successful stuntwoman? Look like a lot of famous actresses!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Getting pushed out of a jet by James Garner!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Getting punched off a train by Clint Eastwood!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;PERFECT PITCH: Marneen’s love for music survives her near total hearing loss in both ears.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Just as her acting career was taking off, Marneen was involved in a car accident that nearly took her life -- and led to over a decade of operations and excruciating pain. But on the other end was a whole new life in music…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, join Susan and Sharon -- and Marneen -- as they talk Shirley Jones, Battlestar Galactica, scuba diving, dating stuntmen, mouth-to-mouth with Patrick Duffy -- and “becoming the broken-hearted songwriter I was meant to be!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;AUDIO-OGRAPHY&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Find all of Marneen’s work on &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/heavenlywaterfallproductions/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;And Instagram at &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/heavenlywaterfallproductions/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Instagram.com/HeavenlyWaterfallProductions&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Find Marneen’s book The Illusive Craft of Acting at &lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/Illusive-Craft-Acting-Preparation-Process/dp/1655690000" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Amazon&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get more info and help support Marneen’s film, &lt;i&gt;Who’s Going To Take Care of Me?&lt;/i&gt; at &lt;a href="https://crowdfundr.com/WhosGonnaTakeCareofMe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Crowdfundr&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONNECT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit&lt;a href="http://80stvladies.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt; 80sTVLadies.com&lt;/a&gt; for transcripts.&lt;br /&gt;Sign up for the 80s TV Ladies&lt;a href="http://eepurl.com/h1YPWH" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt; mailing list.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Support us and get ad-free episodes on&lt;a href="https://www.patreon.com/80sTVLadies" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt; PATREON.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;SUPPORT YOUR NEIGHBORS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Find help or ways to help at &lt;a href="https://abortionfunds.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;AbortionFunds.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Support Democracy at &lt;a href="https://www.democracydocket.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;DemocracyDocket.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Support freedoms at &lt;a href="https://www.aclu.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;ACLU.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;REMEMBER:&lt;/b&gt; Make sure your vote counted.
