Original Airdates: June 11-13, 2021
TVC 542.1: Part 2 of a conversation that began last week with actress, author, songwriter, composer, filmmaker, and reverend Alison Mills Newman (The Tree Widow). After performing on stage as a teenager with the American Theater of Being, one of the first L.A.-based showcases for African-American actors, Alison made her network television debut in 1965 on an episode of Mr. Novak. That opened the door to other TV opportunities, including regular roles on the groundbreaking NBC series Julia starring Diahann Carroll and the CBS variety series The Leslie Uggams Show. Topics this segment include how Alison landed the role of Carol, Corey Baker’s babysitter, on Julia; her bond with Diahann Carroll; and why she left the series. Chuck Harter, who arranged Alison’s appearance this week, co-hosts.
