We see behind-the-scenes of one of the best in the business, your host of 'Your Show of Shows.' In the second half of the show, we meet a lovely young woman, Jean Mountoussamy-Ashe whose crusade to save the last undeveloped island off the coast of South Carolina (Daufuskie Island) is admirable. She is a photographer by trade and has created a beautiful album of photographs that preserve the [lifestyle] of the people that live there.--1982 Peabody Awards entry form.
