Looking back, ‘she never had a nine-to-five job.’ The former host of ‘Big Brother’ was a moving soul from the sketch ‘A Town Like Dallas’ toNine Network’s ‘Coast to Coast.’ She didn’t care about money despite being a single parent to Zeke and Eppie. Most of all, she only persisted in a job which stimulated her to ‘think on her feet’ likewise the ‘Big Brother.
“I look back at what I’ve done over the past years and think, ‘That’s cool. There’s a lot of color and movement.’ I don’t worry about money, although when you’re a single parent, money is always a factor … that’s part of the reason you overwork. I worry about whether I’m sad or lonely or stimulated in a job.”
At the outset, she hesitated from going for Big Brother’s audition, but somewhere within the self, she thought of the show as an intellectual chance.
“When they asked me to audition, I told the head honchos it would be a waste of my time, but I feel intellectually stimulated doing the show. It’s constantly challenging because you have to think on your feet.”
