This is my dear friend, Kathy Kohner Zuckerman, the "Real" Gidget! her dad wrote the story of her life as one of the first female Malibu Surfers. The story was turned into the Film w Sandra Dee and the TV show Gidget w Sally Field.
We have fun when she comes to Ocean City, NJ for the Surf Festival. Last time I took her around and showed her the Jersey Shore!
She got back on a surf board at 60! Way to go Kathy!
You are an inspiration. Never let the dream die!
Love, Jennifer aka Gigi

Thanks Kat,
ReplyDeleteSally Field as Gidget was my wonderful memory of Gidget.Watched every week as a teen! She always talked in the first person about her life. Kathy told me she had such a great relationship w her Dad that she told him all about the boys etc...He was a Hollywood Screenwriter.
I asked her who she listened to...Beach Boys?She said no, I was before the Beach Boys! Elvis! & she used to listen to Jan & Dean perform in a garage! She is so cool!
