Notes

add »
Audra and Heath nearly share a kiss in the hotel room before Heath tells her that he is her half-brother. (edit)
Much controversy over Linda Evans' blouse. I recall something about the buttons, which would not have been in use in that era. The trades remarked how this showed where the male viewers were looking. (edit)
