For nearly a decade, America fell in love with ABC’s runaway hit, THE LOVE BOAT. The cast, music and special guest stars occupied a special place in America’s homes as millions of viewers “cozied up” on Saturday nights to watch.

   Jill Whelan grew up before our eyes on THE LOVE BOAT, but her career has actually spanned more than three decades in film, stage and television. She has also been blessed to work with some of the biggest names in show business (Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Jerry Lewis, Liza Minnelli, Ginger Rogers, Carol Channing, Ethel Merman, Martin Sheen, Jerry Orbach, Sharon Stone, and Tom Hanks to name a few) which reads like a who's who and who was!
