Rhea Perlman spent 11 years as the feisty barmaid Carla Tortelli on Cheers, the TV show set in a Boston bar "where everybody knows your name." She won four Emmys for that role, and she's appeared in dozens of films (including Canadian Bacon, Carpool, Matilda) and other TV shows, including her own sitcom, Pearl. Now I've asked her to go to a place where no one will know her name, since there won't be anyone else there. Let's see what she wants to bring along in her survival kit.

Perlman's List:

1. Lays potato chips (regular)
2. Bumble & Bumble hair conditioner
3. As many cases of Sapporo beer as she could
4. Carly Simon and James Taylor's "Mocking Bird"
5. Giorgio Baldi
6. A piano
7. The complete set of "Little Rascals" tapes
8. A ton of Edelweiss milk chocolate chunks
