Ladies an announcement! I would like to share an email I received this evening… 
Hope it's not too late to accommodate you. Please send any questions you have.
Johnny's "biggest" fan,
Darlene
Darlene Cates, the actress who portrayed Bonnie Grape in the movie What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, has agreed to answer your questions!   
Here is how you can participate. Please email any questions you have for Darlene to our ONBC account. The address is below. The deadline for receiving your questions will be Friday, April 20. Depending on how many questions we receive we may not be able to use each and every question, and similar questions may be combined. We plan to post her answers in May. We look forward to hearing from you!

Congratulations DITHOT and Liz! What a wonderful treat. It will be interesting to read her answers and learn about the movie from her perspective.
Just one more reason to look forward to May...

This is awesome news! Whenever I have seen Darlene Cates interviewed on tv, or read a print article, I've been impressed with her kindness ~ she's a lovely lady and did an amazing job on WEGG.

Wow - you guys are amazing to have coordinated this. I was always amazed at how comfortable she was in that movie - especially since the role of actress(or any public presence for that matter) was totally out of the box for her. I know that JD played a huge part in making her feel comfortable and it will be quite a treat to hear what she has to say. Thanks!!!!!

This is really great. Now I just have to think of something intelligent to ask. DITHOT, just curious is Darlene computer saavy? I love that she calls herself Johnnys biggest fan. Does she want to join the zone?

What a wonderful surprise! Never in a million years did I think we´d get the opportunity. Thanks Darlene for being such a darling (pun intended  ).
Now...what to ask..?
