Questions for the Panelists!

2009-08-23T13:04:00.001-07:00

Have any questions for our panelists that you would like to know? Ask away on our show Tuesday night @ 11pm ET by calling (347) 857-3704! Our last 15 min on the air will be reserved for YOU to ask us questions involving classic film, and anything else you would like to know! Ask Dayna, Robert, Alyssa, and Sarah your questions!

Here is a little bit about our panelists:

Dayna Margarita: Dayna is a 20-year-old third-year student at the University of Maine majoring in Elementary Education. She is a resident of Massachusetts. She is a big fan of Katharine Hepburn and has loved classic films since the age of 11. Some of her favorite films are The Philadelphia Story, Bringing Up Baby, Gone With the Wind, Some Like It Hot, The Graduate, You Can't Take It With You, It's a Wonderful Life, and The Lady Eve, to name a few. Other than obsessing over classic movies, Dayna likes to run, read novels, play field hockey, and hopes one day to become a great elementary school teacher.

Robert Burack: Robert is an 18-year-old resident of Michigan. When Robert isn't busy being charismatic, he's a freshman student studying Political Science at the University of Michigan-Flint. He is an avid movie watcher, who lists "The Lion In Winter" and "A Streetcar Named Desire" among his favorite films. What makes Robert tick? Reading, writing, running, political campaigns, acting, and the dream that he will one day ride a hot air balloon to the front door of his house in New Orleans.

Sarah Williams: Sarah is a 20-year-old third-year student at Michigan State University majoring in English and Women's Studies. She is a resident of Michigan. She loves the films of Marlene Dietrich, Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, Greta Garbo, and Woody Allen. Some of her favorite movies include Random Harvest, Sunset Boulevard, All About Eve, and Chinatown. Aside from watching films, Sarah likes to read, hang out with friends, and promote the ideas of peace and gender equality.

Alyssa Romano: Alyssa is a 16 year old junior in high school living in New York. Her favorite actors are Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant. Some of her favorite movies are Bringing up Baby, The Philadelphia Story, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and An American in Paris. Aside from watching classic films, Alyssa also loves to read, act, and hang out with friends.
