Several years ago, I reached out to Jada Rowland via email and she never responded. Just a couple years ago, I googled her and nude photos showed up taken of her at a New Years Eve party in the 1970s. That could’ve certainly driven her back into the weeds, for sure. It really is too bad that there are so many such people in the world. The gene pool needs skimming.

She usually played the girl you wanted to marry, and after listening to her a few times, you wished you had! Sweet, sexy, good sense of humor. I've read that she's also a gifted painter. What a package!

Are there any tapes of the Secret Storm that we can buy from the first episode to the last? I would love to watch it again, it was my favorite with Jada. I am now 72 and I still remember the character Amy and Paul and of course Kip. Jada you were always my favorite.
