Description: See the full interview at http://emmytvlegends.org/interviews/people/patricia-heaton Patricia Heaton was interviewed for nearly two hours in Burbank, CA. Heaton talked about growing up a daydreamer in Cleveland, and enjoying the attention she got as the daughter of Chuck Heaton, a well-known local sportswriter. She described her early years as a struggling actress in New York City and Los Angeles picking up small roles in commercials and television series. She described her recurring role in the hit dramedy series thirtysomethingand her co-starring roles in the short-lived series Room for Two(opposite Linda Lavin, who mentored her) and Women of the House. She spoke in great detail about the role and series for which she is most associated, Debra Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond. She chronicled her work on the series from her audition to shooting the series finale (delayed when she contracted laryngitis). She described the series shooting schedule; working with series directors Gary Halvorson and Will MacKenzie; and how her real-life pregnancies were covered up on the show. She also noted some of the moments of the show that garnered the biggest laughs including: Debras desperate attempts to get a turkey in the oven, Raymond trying lift Debra onto the refrigerator in a moment of glee and slamming her into it, and Debra dropping ice cream on Raymonds lap (eliciting a minute and a half laugh). Lastly she touched on her appearances as spokesperson for Albertsons grocery stores and some of her post-Raymond television movies. The interview was conducted by Karen Herman on October 23, 2006..
