Nancy McKeon's Disastrous Career

When Las Vegas took a beating and storms blacked out Chicago in part one of Category 6: Day of Destruction, Nancy McKeon thought of it as "a fun ride."

Fields even finds herself in some juicy danger. "I am a hostage," she chuckles. "I'm connected to a bomb, actually — it's strapped around my neck! And anybody who knows me knows the front of my neck — around my throat — is very, very sensitive and ticklish. So the idea of wardrobe people strapping something in that area for a few days was so unappealing."

Still, it's fair to assume that read more
