Linda Dano Co-Hosts ABC TV's The View - Friday, March 9, 2007

NEW YORK, March 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Special co-host for the day, Linda Dano, sits in for Barbara Walters with Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Rosie O'Donnell on a special one hour episode of The View (http://www.abc.com/theview).

As part of her on-going role as national spokesperson for The Support Partners Program (http://www.supportpartnersprogram.com/) Linda Dano joins her fellow co-hosts to help explain and better understand how depression impacts the lives of millions.

Linda Dano was delighted to cut a trip to Los Angeles short to return to New York in time to host this timely and informative special themed show. A guest and co-host on The View many times since its launch ten years ago, this show marks Dano's return as co-host since she left ABC Daytime in 2004.

Diagnosed with depression following the deaths of her husband, Frank Attardi, and her mother only a few days later, it has been with the constant support of friends that helped her battle the disease and return to work.

With the release this fall of The Focus Films feature, RESERVATION ROAD and guest starring roles on DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU Linda Dano brings her very personal story to The View and shows how people can learn to successfully live with the disease.

This June also marks her return to QVC with the new Linda Dano Home Collection. Her exclusive line of fashion accessories was featured on the Network from 1993-2004.
