In their star-studded memoir, Hollywood Lights, Nashville Nights, coauthors Victoria Hallman and Diana Goodman are the first of the iconic Hee Haw Honeys to write about their lives as the glamour gals of TV’s longest-running syndicated variety show.
“There is no one on this green earth who could better tell the tales of Hollywood Lights, Nashville Nights than Victoria Hallman and Diana Goodman. And, oh, the tales they can tell! There they were, right in the middle of it all, falling in and out of love with the biggest names in show business. They were given a front-row seat to the greatest show on earth, Hollywood, Vegas, and Nashville, and were surrounded by some of the most brilliant talents we have ever known. Fasten your seat belts – Hollywood Lights, Nashville Nights will be a bumpy, fun-time ride for all.”

“Hee Haw was all about friends and family having a great time and laughing together – both on the set and with everyone watching at home. One big family! Some of the relationships formed while making that show will last forever. Victoria Hallman is one of those people – my forever friend. I think so much of her because she cares about people. I know she cares about my family and me. I know that she would be there for me if I needed her. As special as she makes me feel, I know she does this for everyone because she’s just that kind of person.”
