Some decades ago, Boy Abunda — known for his ability to pin down the most difficult and evasive subjects for interviews — took the initiative to write letters to three of the most prominent female icons on the planet: Oprah Winfrey, Barbara Walters and Hillary Clinton. He invited each for a sit down with him, even if he knew it was practically impossible for any of them to say yes. He tried it anyway because he wouldn't be the lone and perpetually reigning King of Talk in the country if he didn't.

'San nanggaling yun? Wala lang, pangarap ko lang. Hinanap namin ang addresses nila,' the ever amiable A-list celebrity said nonchalantly in a media conference at his new home-base in GMA Network.
