Did you ever wonder what it was like to be a part of showbiz history? You know, Ethel Merman teaching you how to make martinis while Paul Newman gave you acting tips. And then, fielding all those annoying telephone calls from reporters the night your Mom won the Oscar? Welcome to the world of Luke Yankee, son of Broadway and Hollywood actress Eileen Heckart. In DIVA DISH, his one-man show playing a one night only benefit performance for the ANAHEIM PERFORMING ARTS CENTER FOUNDATION at Fox Pointe Manor on September 21, 2013, that's exactly what you'll experience.

This is Tucker's Broadway debut, and she was kind enough to talk to me about how it all began.
