“I still picture myself as that 23-year-old girl who walked in here, had never been on TV before; and managed somehow to get through the first day. I still know how I felt, I still see the studio, I still picture it – I can tell you everything I did that day. And I know that the costume designer Hazel Roy came before we started to tape and put a penny in the pocket of my suit jacket. I kind of looked at her questioningly and she said, ‘That’s for luck. I think I saved the penny; I sure as hell should have because that’s the luckiest penny I ever had in my life.'”              – ERIKA SLEZAK (1991)
