Actress Morgan Fairchild has recalled an alleged abduction in New York City during the 1970s, saying that her humour may have helped her escape. She said two men took her from the street while bystanders reportedly laughed, apparently believing the incident was a joke; the account highlights the danger she says she faced early in her career.

Fairchild discussed the episode on her new podcast, “2 B—-es From Texas”, which she co-hosts with her sister Cathryn Hartt. The programme features stories from their time in showbusiness and interviews with celebrity guests, while Fairchild is best known for roles in “Flamingo Road” and “Falcon Crest”.
