This is what U-T San Diego says about the event:
“Before Sandra Dee and Sally Field was Kathy Kohner – real-life inspiration for the fictional surfing neophyte ‘Gidget.’ A special Coronado screening of ‘Accidental Icon: The Real Gidget Story,’ will feature Kathy Kohner Zuckerman in attendance with filmmaker Brian Gillogly. Ticket price includes a Q&A session after the documentary, as well as a panel discussion including surf legend Mickey Munoz, Bill “Moondoggie” Jensen and actress Caryn Richman of the 1986-1988 sitcom ‘The New Gidget’.”
