Summary

Emily Hope Webster, once known as Harriet, the redheaded neighbor from Small Wonder, opens up about the painful reality of playing the "annoying" character no one wanted around. Plus, she brings incredible behind-the-scenes stories, including how Marla Pennington (the mom on the show) staged a silent protest to prove that female characters deserved more than just background work.
