Our second hour will include an encore presentation of our conversation with Kathleen Sharp about the life and legacy of Lew and Edie Wasserman, the legendary Hollywood power couple who ruled over the entertainment industry for more than six decades — first by building MCA, the world’s largest talent agency, then buying a broken-down film studio along with some real estate and transforming it all into the multi-billion-dollar global conglomerate known as Universal Studios. Under Lew Wasserman’s rule, Universal created such staples as the made for TV movie, the “wheel” format of revolving weekly series, and the blockbuster feature motion picture, while Edie Wasserman extended their influence into governors’ mansions, Senate chambers, the White House, international boardrooms and the world of old Las Vegas.
But while Lew Wasserman ran Universal Studios, he and Edie were far from universally liked — in fact, on more than one occasion their rivals and enemies joined forces to bring the Wassermans down. It’s all part of a fascinating look into the inner workings of twentieth-century show business that Kathleen captures in her book Mr. and Mrs. Hollywood: Edie and Lew Wasserman and Their Entertainment Empire, which we’ll talk about during our second hour.
This week’s program will also include an encore presentation of our March 2013 conversation with Chris Robinson, the actor/director also known as Dr. Rick Webber on General Hospital, Jack Hamilton on The Bold and the Beautiful, and Sgt. Sandy Komansky on Twelve O’Clock High. Chris’ other film and TV credits includes such as other Quinn Martin series as The Fugitive, The New Breed, Dan August, The F.B.I., Cannon, The Streets of San Francisco, Barnaby Jones, and Caribe, plus such feature films as The Birdman of Alcatraz, The Young Savages (both with Burt Lancaster), The Hawaiians (with Charlton Heston), and Sweet, Sweet Rachel, the pilot for The Sixth Sense.
Chris Robinson has also starred in many film and TV Westerns, including episodes of Gunsmoke, The Virginian, Wagon Train, and Zane Grey Theater, and The Forsaken, an independent film that offers a new take on the classic genre that is also very insightful. Chris Robinson joins us during our first hour.
