About Harvey's guest:
Today’s guest, Julian Schlossberg, is a renowned producer of motion pictures, television and theater, as well as a hugely popular interviewer, educator and author.
Throughout an illustrious career spanning over 6 decades, our guest has been involved in virtually every aspect of show business. Back in the 60’s, at the age of 22, he started out at the ABC television network in the station clearance department, and then joined the Walter Reade Organization, first as a film syndicator and then in the theater division, becoming the Vice President and Head of Film Acquisition.
He was then hired by Paramount Pictures, first as Vice President of Worldwide Acquisition, and later as Vice President of Production. In 1978, at the age of 36, he established Castle Hill Productions, which became one of the largest independent film distribution companies in the world. His film producer credits include “Widow’s Peak”, “In the Spirit”, “No Nukes”, and the 1992 restoration of Orson Welles’ “Othello”. He’s brought us a number of wonderful television specials including “The Lives of Lillian Hellman”, “Elia Kazan: A Director’s Journey”, “Going Hollywood: The War Years”, “Going Hollywood: The 30’s”, “Steve Allen’s Golden Age of Comedy”, and many more.
And our guest has produced over 45 multi-award winning Broadway and off-Broadway plays, including “Bullets Over Broadway”, “The Unexpected Man”, “Vita and Virginia”, “The Beauty Queen of Leenane”, “Tennessee Williams Remembered”, “Terms of Endearment”, and many more. He also created and produced “Witnesses to the 20th Century”, a fourteen-hour documentary series examining the major historical events of the 20th century through the eyes of many prominent people who lived through it.
Our guest also co-founded Gold Castle Records, which produced albums by legendary music artists Peter, Paul and Mary, Judy Collins, Joan Baez, Don McLean and others. And if all of that weren’t enough, our guest is also a pre-eminent and celebrated talk show host.
Starting in 1974, and for 9 years, he hosted “Movie Talk”, a nationally syndicated radio program in which he interviewed hundreds of iconic stars like Bette Davis, Bob Hope, John Huston, Jane Fonda, Anthony Hopkins, Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman, Warren Beatty and dozens more. His show was also televised, and then he created a wonderful podcast, called “Julian Schlossberg’s Movie Talk”, which has recently become a YouTube channel.
And now, our guest has written TWO fascinating, compelling and entertaining memoirs, “Try Not to Hold it Against Me: A Producer’s Life”, and “My First Book, Part 2”, in which he shares a wealth of insights into the inner workings of show business, and he regales us with captivating stories about the dazzling array of superstars he’s worked with and gotten to know.
