Yana Interviews Daniele, Honestly |
[ October 15, 2007 ]
Daniele Donato spent 80 days living in a house on a soundstage with 51 cameras and 74 microphones, and a father she hadn't spoken with in several years. Daniele was watched 24 hours a day by thousands of live feed subscribers, and by millions on the CBS broadcast. Under pressure and constant scrutiny, as her her personal life was turned inside-out, she gained fans and foes. Whether you loved her, or hated her, Daniele and her over-the-top dad became the stars of BB8. For the past week, our celebrity interviewer, Yana, has been gathering questions from the posters at TVFanForums to ask Daniele. Yana asked Daniele those questions, and you can read that interview here.
Huge thanks to Daniele for her participation, and kudos to Yana for another fine interview. More...
