Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: Joan Van Ark on her stage background and the “bag of voices” that she draws on as a voice artist (including the voice of Spider-Woman); how the costumes of Joan’s on display at the Hollywood Museum are, in a way, an example of how Valene Ewing evolved as a character on KNOTS LANDING; and the advice that James Garner gave Joan early in her career. Both KNOTS LANDING and SPIDER-WOMAN celebrate their 40th anniversaries on television this season. The KNOTS LANDING lobby exhibit at the Hollywood Museum continues thru Wednesday 4/1. SPIDER-WOMAN is now streaming on demand on Disney+

Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: Golden Globe Award winner Dyan Cannon on adapting her book, DEAR CARY: My Life with Cary Grant, as a musical (and whether the lyric or the melody comes first when it comes to writing songs); working with Crystal Hunt on the new Pure Flix comedy, MOOD SWINGS; and how the Lakers will do in the second half of the NBA season. For our listeners in Southern California, Dyan Cannon and Richard Benjamin will participate in a live conversation with film historian Foster Hirsch following a special screening of THE LAST OF SHEILA on Sunday 1/26 at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood
