Howard Hesseman (AKA Dr. Johnny Fever) celebrates his 73rd birthday today.
He was one of the great characters from “WKRP in Cincinnati,” one of the great ensemble sitcoms of all time. I took this photo at WITN radio in Chocowinity back in 1982. Hesseman was making a tour promoting some charity I cannot remember. He was very kind in replaying his character for the benefit. The photo first appeared on the front page of the Washington Daily News. Other photos from the quick shoot are here.
