just wanted to mention that:
Our 1996 b...Hello Ed!<br /><br />just wanted to mention that:<br />Our 1996 biography of Janet Leigh was for Lifetime, not A&E- Janet was like an auntie to me... many of the interviews that we have uploaded to YouTube were shot in her and husband Bob Brandt's home on Summitridge Drive in Beverly Hills, just above Pickfair.<br /><br />Also- I'm the grandson of actor/director Abner Biberman and grand nephew of Herbert J. Biberman (one of the Hollywood 10). Abner was Tony Curtis' drama coach at Universal- and Hated him! LOL! He mentioned Abner in his autobiography and called his classes "The Abner Biberman School of Bullshit." Is that great or what?<br /><br />Lastly- the reason that Carole wasn't laughing at Shecky's jokes was so as not to step on the audio track- and the reason that she's sometimes a bit "lecturing" during the interviews is that she and I had to get the statements that we needed in a very limited amount of time.<br /><br />Did you know that Carole and I produced a number of programs for PBS FRONTLINE? Carole won a DuPont Columbia Silver Baton- the Pulitzer of Broadcast Journalism in 1992.<br /><br />Last thing- the Rat Pack Biography was nominated for three Prime Time Emmys- one to me for Picture Editing- and it won the Emmy for Sound Mixing. The Jerry Lewis Biography was nominated for the last Cable Ace Award for Best Documentary in 1996- cable networks were admitted to the Emmys the following year.<br /><br />Warmest Regards,<br /><br />Luke SacherCarole Langerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12936512153460045627noreply@blogger.com
