Who is the real Deb Palmer?
The bashful woman behind the writer
Will the real Deb Palmer please come forward?
Many people who read my work believe they know me.
Do they?
Who remembers the 1950s game show, To Tell the Truth?
Anyone?
If you do, maybe you’re taking a nap, trimming your nose hairs, or trying to remember why you entered a room. Yep, if you watched To Tell the Truth, you’re old, like me.
The program, an American panel game show premiered in 1956. It featured a panel of celebrities who tried to guess which of the three contestants was the person they claimed to be. The contestants consisted of a “central character” and two impostors. The central character must tell the truth while the impostors could lie.
Since the me in person, is quite different than me on paper, I doubt anyone who reads my work would know which contestant was me. Of course, I’d have to wear a wig to hide my signature red hair.
