Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Paul Petersen, Actor, Singer, Co-Star, “The Donna Reed Show”

About Harvey's guest:

Today’s guest, Paul Petersen, is a beloved former child star, pop singer, teen idol, author, spokesman and child rights activist. We first fell in love with him as “Jeff Stone” on “The Donna Reed Show”.

He also appeared in a number of major motion pictures including “The Monolith Monsters”, “Houseboat”, “A Time for Killing”, “The Happiest Millionaire”, “Journey to Shiloh”, “Mommy’s Day”, “The Portal” and others. And on TV, he’s guest starred in many classic shows including “General Hospital”, “The Virginian”, “Mannix”, “The Flying Nun”, “The Big Valley”, “My Three Sons”, “Lassie”, “Matt Houston”, “Mike Hammer” and many more.

He’s also starred in numerous TV movies including “Something For a Lonely Man”, “In the Year 2889”, “Gidget Grows Up”, “Scout’s Honor”, and “High School USA”. Our guest was also a successful recording artist in the 60’s, with a number of hit songs including "She Can't Find Her Keys", "Keep Your Love Locked", "Lollipops and Roses" and "My Dad".

In the mid-70s, our guest embarked on a writing career. His first book, entitled “High Performance Driving”, teaches drivers to be skillful, safe and efficient. He then published 8 action-adventure novels in a series called “The Smuggler”. And then in 1977 he released a memoir entitled, “Walt, Mickey and Me: Confessions of the First Ex-Mouseketeer”, which is a fascinating and eye-opening account of his tumultuous 3 weeks, at the age of 9 years old, when he was a member of the Mickey Mouse Club TV show hosted by Walt Disney.

And then, in 1991, following the suicides of former child actors Tim Hovey, Trent Lehman and Rusty Hamer, our guest created a non-profit organization called “A Minor Consideration”, which provides support and assistance to former child stars, and advocates for legislative protection for child celebrities in terms of working conditions and financial security. A Minor Consideration has had a tremendously positive and profound impact in the entertainment industry, and it has given our guest the well-deserved title of “the patron saint of child actors”. And in fact, in 1997 our guest received the Former Child Star Lifetime Achievement Award at the Young Artist Awards.

Harvey Brownstone Interviews Joel Brokaw, Son of Legendary Hollywood Agent, Norman Brokaw Nov 28, 2024

Show notes

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Joel Brokaw, Son of Legendary Hollywood Agent, Norman Brokaw

About Harvey's guest:

Today’s guest, Joel Brokaw, can truly be said to be descended from Hollywood royalty – perhaps not in the traditional sense, because neither of his parents were movie stars. But his father was one of the most successful, powerful and respected agents in the history of Hollywood, Norman Brokaw.

Throughout his career he represented some of the greatest legendary stars in history, including Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Barbara Stanwyck, Loretta Young, Susan Hayward, Natalie Wood, Kim Novak, Clint Eastwood, Dick Van Dyke, Donna Summer and many more, including Olympic athletes like Mark Spitz, and former President Gerald Ford and his wife Betty Ford.

He was renowned for his professionalism, integrity, sincerity, enthusiasm and above all, his steadfast loyalty and devotion to his clients. But until now, no one really knew the man behind the sterling professional reputation, because he always shied away from center stage, preferring instead to shine the spotlight on his superstar clients.

But now our guest, who is Norman Brokaw’s son, has written a highly compelling and insightful book about his father entitled, “Driving Marilyn: The Life and Times of Legendary Hollywood Agent Norman Brokaw.” The book tells the story of Norman Brokaw’s remarkable 60-year journey, beginning in 1943, when at the age of 16, he started working in the mail room at the illustrious William Morris Agency, and then worked his way up to President and then Chairman and CEO of the company.

Our guest spent 30 years as a publicist in Hollywood, representing many big stars, including Tyler Perry, for whom he ended up ghost writing the #1 New York Times Bestseller, “Don’t Make a Black Woman Take Off Her Earrings: Madea’s Uninhibited Commentaries on Love and Life”. That book, released in 2006, launched our guest into a new and highly successful career as an author, collaborator and ghost writer.

His other books include “Living with Purpose: An Activist’s Guide to Listening, Learning and Leading”, by Dorothy Height, “It's Never Too Late: Getting Older, Wiser, and Worry Free in Our Golden Years”, by Scott Page, “There's No Traffic on the Extra Mile: Lessons on the Road from Dreams to Destiny” by Ricky Minor, and he co-wrote Florence Henderson’s bestselling memoir, “Life is Not a Stage: From Broadway Baby to a Lovely Lady and Beyond”. He also co-wrote “Jane's Dust: A Tale of Talc, Deceit, and Death” along with Dr. Ronald E. Gordon. And he co-wrote “Connect - The Ultimate Human Superpower - 38 Remarkable Journeys into the Inner Realm of Mind Power”, together with Sam Beard. And in 2022, he published a delicious memoir entitled, “Perfect Moments”.

Today’s guest, Bill Medley, is a legendary music superstar whose deep, soulful baritone voice, as one of the Righteous Brothers, changed the face and sound of American music, and ushered in the era of what became known as “blue-eyed soul”.

Our guest holds the distinction of having had hit records in FOUR different decades.

Over the years, his songs have been featured many movies including “Major League”, “The Last Boy Scout”, “Top Gun”, “Ghost” and “Dirty Dancing”, as well as dozens of TV shows.

And our guest has received many prestigious accolades and awards. As a member of the Righteous Brothers, he received TWO Grammy Award nominations, and he’s been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. And as a solo artist, he received another Grammy nomination in 1972 for his recording of "Freedom and Fear", and in 1988, he and Jennifer Warnes WON the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group for their magnificent duet, "I've Had The Time of My Life".

Harvey Brownstone Interviews Julie Garfield, Daughter of Legendary Actor, John Garfield Nov 07, 2024

Show notes

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Julie Garfield, Daughter of Legendary Actor, John Garfield

About Harvey's guest:

If you’re a fan of our show, you’ll be familiar with our very special series called “Gone But Not Forgotten”, where we celebrate the careers and legacies of the greatest cinematic legends of all time.

Today’s guest, Julie Garfield, is the daughter of one of the most popular, beloved and highly acclaimed actors of the 20th century: John Garfield.

He received Academy Award nominations and New York Film Critics Circle Award nominations for his performances in “Body and Soul” and “Four Daughters”, for which he also won a National Board of Review Award. His other iconic movies include “They Made Me a Criminal”, “Juarez”, “Daughters Courageous”, “The Sea Wolf”, “Pride of the Marines”, “The Postman Always Rings Twice”, “Humoresque”, “Body and Soul”, “Gentleman’s Agreement”, “Force of Evil”, “The Breaking Point”, and many more.

He also appeared in over a dozen Broadway shows including “Golden Boy”, “The Big Knife”, “Counsellor-at-Law”, “Peer Gynt” and many more. In the early 1950’s, during the McCarthy era, John Garfield was victimized and blacklisted, because he adamantly refused to "name names" when he testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee.

Tragically, he passed away of a heart attack in 1952 at the age of 39, largely brought on by the stress of the persecution he faced as a blacklisted actor.

Our guest is Mr. Garfield’s only living child, Julie Garfield. She’s had a most impressive career as an award winning actress in the theatre, both on and off Broadway, and in film and television. And for the past 20 years, she has been focussing exclusively on her career as a prominent artist. Her paintings and drawings have been featured in many prestigious galleries and exhibits, especially in New York City.
