Norm Anderson, director of the Donut Dollies Documentary listens to the Q&A responses of Donut Dollies Dorset Anderson (Vietnam ‘68-69 – featured in our film), Linda Pelegríno (Vietnam ‘67), Cathie Rubins (Korea ’72), Karen Millar (Vietnam ’68-69 – holding the microphone) and Judi Stewart (Korea ’70-71).
Following the film, Jessica Eskelin of PSIFF led a Q&A session with Donut Dollies Dorset, Linda, Cathie, Karen and Judi. During the Q&A, Karen shared that although the Donut Dollie’s experiences were unique, the film encapsulated their experience and Cathie stated that the film brought back so many memories. Judi said that now people who didn’t know about the Donut Dollies will know they were for real.
