THE STAR OF DORITOS PUG ATTACK, OKO NONO THE PUG CHATS IN AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW IN PEACHY'S PET PALS WITH PEACHY DEEGAN! OKO NONO WILL BE THE HIT OF SUPERBOWL WEEKEND! MAKE SURE YOU SHARE YOUR DORITOS WITH HER!

Doritos Pug Attack is going to be the commercial hit of the superbowl weekend 
starring Oko Nono:
And, Peachy Deegan was lucky enough to get an exclusive interview with Oko Nono, the pug star featured!  Oko took some time out of her busy schedule to let Whom You Know readers in on the inside story.  Oh, and Oko we are sending you your limo so you can come to Swifty's in Manhattan to drink The Peachy Deegan made with Star Vodka-you'll deserve it after your big commercial win!  You are a Star!
Peachy Deegan interviewed Oko Nono through Scott O'Connor for Whom You Know.

Peachy Deegan: What was your first break in show business? 
Oko Nono: A movie called Man in the Chair in December 2005, but I still haven't seen it yet. My dad needs to buy the movie so I can see if I made the final cut! Maybe for my birthday on June 11th.
 
What tricks can you do? 
Sit and Shake. I can also do a head tilt better than a great horned barn owl.
What is the difference between a great commercial and a mediocre one? 
A great commercial has a hungry pug in it. A mediocre one doesn't.
 
Does anyone train you or are you a natural? 
I'm a natural. I can do just about anything for a treat!
 
Are the humans you work with demanding?  If so, how do you handle it? 
I can handle just about anyone as long as they have a piece of prime rib.
 
Do you have servants? 
My cat usually gets my bath ready. He knows how to make it just the right temperature.
What other animal stars do you hang with? 
My friend John's dog Sutton. The yellow lab (Toby) who scoots his but across the floor in the Stanley Steemer Carpet Cleaning Commerical. It's funny, check it out on You Tube.
 
What are the best rewards you get for the work you do? 
A hamburger patty from In n Out, the one with no salt made specially for dogs.
 
What do you enjoy the most about being an actress? 
All the attention of course. I love to be photographed. I'm looking forward to walking the red carpet one day during the Oscars and getting a star on Hollywood Blvd right next to John Lennon's!
 
What should we know about Pug Attack? 
You should know that when a pug attacks people should get out of the way. If not, well...you see what happens.
Tell us about the making of the commercial please. 
The commercial was made at my Uncle Mark, Aunt Julie Anne and Cousin Lotus's house. My aunt Julie Anne is the Co Star of the commercial with me. My friend John trained me for the part. My friends JR and Tess produced, directed and edited the commercial. All their pics are on my website at www.okonono.com
We're looking forward to the next Doritos commercial with all the same people and a surprise ending you're not going to believe!
 
How can we help you advance the success of this commercial?  
You can help by going to You Tube and posting great comments about me. You can also go to Crash the Superbowl and post comments about how you're looking forward to seeing me on all the bags of Doritos in the near future and also part 2 of the commercial with a surpise ending! You can also help by emailing Doritos and requesting that Doritos make a Chip just for Dogs with my picture on the bag recommending Doritos for Dogs to all your pets! We'll make this the number one dog treat in the world, but we can't do it without your support.
 
Swifty's is Peachy Deegan's favorite restaurant on earth (1007 Lexington!) and it is named after a pug, Swifty, who has since passed.  There is a drink named after her there called The Peachy Deegan Express made with Star Vodka.  We understand from Patrick that you love vodka-when are you available to go with Peachy to Swifty's to drink this? 
Depends on when you send the Limo to come pick me up!  [Peachy: It's on its way!]
 
What is your favorite flavor of Doritos? 
Nacho Cheese of course. Or as I sometimes say it Not Your Cheese!
 
Who are you picking for the Superbowl? 
The Green Bay Packers cause my Grandpa Wally and Grandma Joann live in Wisconsin!
 
What are you going to do to celebrate when your commercial wins? 
Party like it's 1999. Then take my little red corvette to Disneyland!
 
Can we sell your autograph through Shop with Peachy? 
As long as I get 10 percent of all earnings.
 
Other than Small Screen Scenes and Peachy's Pet Pals of course, what is your favorite Whom You Know column and what do you like about it? 
Quotable Peachy-I like Walt Whitman. I like the one about the Leaves of Grass. Its a classic you know!
What else should Whom You Know readers know about you? 
Its not what you know, it Whom You Know!

How would you like to be contacted by Whom You Know readers? All my contact info is on www.okonono.com
