Conchata Ferrell brought Brad Dourif up to New York from Charleston, WVA. I talked about her to MGM guys when she was in The Sea Horse in NY. I gave Conchata her FIRST standing ovation at the theatre. She received many more after that. A few years later, I told her she would get the most recognition for HOT L BALTIMORE. She relished calling me up and telling me I WAS WRONG! I said, "Your life isn't over yet. You WILL be calling me back!" She did call me back when she was made the STAR of the TV series, and the only member of the cast to be in the TV Series. She died a TV STAR in Two and a Half Men.
For fifty years I have been a Document Examiner and that is how I earn my living.
For over 50 years I have also been a publicist for actors, singers, writers, composers, artists, comedians, and many progressive non-profit organizations.
I am a Librettist-Composer of a Broadway musical called, "Nellie Bly" and I am in the process of making small changes to it.
In addition, I have written over 100 songs that would be considered "popular music" in the genre of THE AMERICAN SONGBOOK. My family consists of four branches. The Norwegians and The Italians and the Norwegian-Americans and the Italian Americans.
