This weekend’s program will include encore presentations of our April 2019 conversation with actor Robert Hooks and our April 2019 conversation with actress and author Joyce Bulifant.
Robert Hooks made his professional acting debut in a national production of A Raisin in the Sun, then made his Broadway debut in Tiger, Tiger Burning Bright and earned a Tony nomination for his performance in Hallelujah, Baby. Robert’s career in film and television began in 1963 when he was cast as a police detective in the groundbreaking TV series East Side/West Side. In 1967, he became the first African-American actor to star in a network TV drama when he was cast as police detective Jeff Ward in the groundbreaking ABC series N.Y.P.D.—the first TV cop show with the official imprimatur of the New York Police Department, and the first show to portray an African-American police officer as one of its regular characters. In addition, Hooks has founded three significant African-American theatre companies: the Group Theatre Workshop in New York; the DC Black Repertory Company in his hometown of Washington, D.C.; and the internationally recognized Negro Ensemble Company in New York.
Robert Hooks also describes himself as a “cultural architect.” We will ask him what he means by that, plus we’ll talk about the origins and legacy of the Negro Ensemble Company, as well as ask him a few questions about N.Y.P.D. and some of his other notable roles. Robert Hooks will join us in our second hour; Chuck Harter, who arranged for Robert’s appearance, will co-host.
Most people know Joyce Bulifant from her many appearances on The CBS Match Game and other popular game shows, not to mention such films and TV shows as The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Love Thy Neighbor, Disney’s The Happiest Millionaire, The Bill Cosby Show, Big John, Little John and Airplane! Joyce Bulifant is also known for her effervescent personality and smile. Those were difficult for Joyce to maintain sometimes, in the face of her real-life struggle with dyslexia and feelings of self worth, and a series of tumultuous marriages characterized by alcoholism, co-dependency and addictive behavior.
A story of eternal love that is woven through the fabric of the entertainment world, Joyce’s book, My Four Hollywood Husbands, is a memoir of her life and career, interwoven through the story of her marriages to James MacArthur, Edward Mallory, William Asher and Roger Perry. A beacon of hope for anyone who finds themselves caught in the web of addiction, the book also reminds us that, as Joyce herself puts it, “If you’re not afraid to learn and to keep trying, there can be a happy ending.”
My Four Hollywood Husbands has remained incredibly timely in more ways that anyone could imagine, while our conversation with Joyce will also include a tribute to Roger Perry. We’ll replay our April 2019 conversation with Joyce Bulifant in our second hour.
Our second hour will include an encore presentation of our annual New Year’s Eve edition of the Sounds of Lost Television. Phil Gries will play audio highlights of vintage TV New Year’s Eve celebrations featuring Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians that originally aired on CBS, ABC, and local television, including rarely heard audio of Howard Cosell covering the iconic ball drop at midnight from Times Square, New York.
On behalf of Tony, Donna, Phil, and Greg, our very best wishes to you and your family for a safe, happy, and healthy new year.
PROGRAM NOTE: By now I am sure all of you are aware of the passings of Gilligan’s Island star Dawn Wells and Emmy Award-winning writer/producer William Link over the past week. We are preparing a formal tribute program for Dawn that will air in early January, while we will replay our July 2011 interview with Bill as part of our Jan. 8-10 program.
