Years before I knew her name, I first saw Wally Wharton as the character of Debbie in the Cheech and Chong movie Up In Smoke. Many years later, I saw her leave a comment on a mutual Facebook friend’s page, and I was so fascinated by her comment that I reached out to her with a friend request. She accepted it, and we hit it off so much that I knew I wanted to do an interview with her. Wally is more than just an actress. She’s also a writer, a craftswoman, and a tremendously gifted artist whose artwork you’ll find throughout this interview. We spoke twice, once in October and once in November, and this article contains those two interviews. By the time you’re done reading this, you’ll really know who Wally Wharton is, and I know you’ll find her to be fascinating in all the best ways. Say hello to Wally Wharton for the first time… Johnny: I have my questions ready to go. Wally: Great, great! Wonderful.
