Hello, everybody. It’s Johnny Caps here. Before I share my conversation with actress/activist/author Heather Thomas, I wish to address my whereabouts since my last interview with actress/dancer DeeDee Rescher last year. Put succinctly, a colostomy reversal surgery I’d gotten in October of last year was unsuccessful, leading to a period of several months, occasionally off, but mostly on, of being in the hospital, dealing with things like abscesses and an ileostomy. The ileostomy reversal surgery in April of 2025 was a success, though, and I’ve started making my way back again to doing interviews. That leads me to the subject of my newest Flashback Interview, Heather Thomas. I’ve been a fan of Ms. Thomas’ work for a long time, and when she started following me on Twitter several years ago, I knew I wanted to interview her. That interview wouldn’t happen until this year, which was when I saw that my friend Danny Deraney, who set up interviews for me in the past with talents like Lori Alan and Lizz Winstead, was representing her. I knew that I wanted to interview Ms. Thomas about her work in multiple fields, not just as a performer, but also as a writer, an

I really enjoyed this interview. Heather Thomas seems like such a kind and grounded person. I liked how she talked openly about both her fun memories and the struggles she faced. I didn’t know much about her before, but now I want to watch The Fall Guy and see her work. I also respect her for speaking out on political and social issues. Not many people from her era are still active and passionate about justice. I’m glad she mentioned how important it is for everyone to be able to vote, no matter which party they support. That’s very important to me too. Also, it was sweet hearing about Rodney Dangerfield helping with the Thanksgiving stuffing. That made me smile.

I always remembered her from posters and The Fall Guy, but I never knew she was this thoughtful and socially aware. The fact that she got involved in activism because people told her she couldn’t just makes me respect her more. I could relate a lot to her talking about using your voice and doing what’s right. I’ve often felt powerless watching politics change so fast and not always for the better, but hearing someone like her speak with such strength and clarity gives me hope.

Thank you for this interview. I felt very peaceful while reading it. Heather Thomas has lived a full and interesting life. I liked her memories about the 80s and 90s, especially how she laughed about the hair and clothes. I also liked that she grows her own food. That part really touched me.

The way she talked about politics and voting was strong but also polite. She doesn’t attack people personally. She just wants people to be treated fairly. That’s something I believe in, too.

I smiled when I read about her fishing trips. I don’t fish myself, but I could imagine the beauty of the rivers she described.

Thank you, Heather, for sharing so many stories, and thank you, Johnny, for the good questions. I’m glad you are healthy again. Please keep doing these interviews. They help people feel connected.
