Don't call her Gidget.

There actually is a real person Gidget. She is a very nice lady living in Southern California. I believe she even still surfs. Sarah Palin is no Gidget.

The title character was based on the author's daughter, Kathy Kohner-Zuckerman, and her adventures growing up in the surf culture on the beach at Malibu in the 1950's. As of this note (July 2006), she is 62, petite, healthy and attractive and living in Pacific Palisades with her husband of 42 years. And yes, there was a "Moondoggie", who still lives in California and is an artist.
