Heather Mell has a "firm grip" on the character of Ivana Viktimm
The character "Kayla Drake" is largely fictitious, but her TV persona, "Ivana Viktimm," is based on Green Bay, WI UHF horror hostess "Misty Brew" (1981-84), pictured here.

Most of the details I needed to bring Ivana to life - or to Undeath - came from my friend Faye Fisher-Ward, who played Misty while enrolled at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay (and while I was a student 30 miles south in Appleton, tuning in with my dorm-mates every Friday night for a glimpse of that big-haired, wide-eyed Angel of Death).

Thanks, Faye! Without your input, I'd have been in..."grave" trouble.
