Radio stations utilized this interview to promote: The '9 to 5' Single & Movie: Her iconic title track reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1981. In the interview, she discussed making her acting debut alongside Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, and famously demonstrated how she used her long acrylic fingernails as a percussion rhythm to mimic a typewriter on set. The '9 to 5' and 'Odd Jobs' Concept Album: Her accompanying 1981 album focused entirely on the lives of working people.
Upcoming Projects: Her next major transition, including filming the upcoming musical comedy 'The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas'.
