Today's Guest: Kim Zimmer, soap opera actress, "Guiding Light" Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience of elderly women who won’t give up their remote controls until somebody gives mouth-to-mouth to their afternoon shows… in the new new media capital of the world, St. Petersburg, Florida! Order "I'm Just Sayin'!" by Kim Zimmer by clicking the Amazon.com link above! Kim Zimmer was with the soap opera Guiding Light for 26 years – more than a third of the 72 years the show was on radio and television. But a look at the picture of her on the cover of her new memoir, I’m Just Sayin’! Three Deaths, Seven Husbands, and a Clone! My Life as a Daytime Diva, doesn’t suggest someone headed for a rockin’ chair. She’s too feisty – based on the content of her book – to ever just fade away. KIM ZIMMER podcast excerpt: "It wasn't like I was falling down drunk when I went back to Guiding Light after lunch. I had just numbed myself with a couple glasses of wine so I didn't freak out on people. It put me in a place where I was able to handle my disappointments a lot better... It was unprofessional... I guess... but I was never sloppy drunk when I was doing my work. By the time I got to the set, the wine had worn off, like when you cook with it." I’m not a big soap fan, as regular viewers and listeners to Mr. Media know. But the last time Kim Zimmer was on this show, in March 2010 – along with her TV husband, Robert Newman – she was a lot of fun. So I had to invite her back to talk about a book that she clearly invested a lot of personality and truth in.  Kim Zimmer Website • Facebook • Twitter
