It was sad news today to hear of the death of Luke Perry. I only met Luke once, in the early 1990s, but it was very memorable. It was during the first season of “Beverly Hills 90210.” Back then, I was hosting a live, local cable talk show that originated in studios at Beverly Hills High School. It was a “concept” project for an idea that my pal Dudley Johnson and I were developing for a larger ...

I was/am a huge Three Stooges fan. For me, their slickly choreographed slapstick was up there with the greats, including Chaplin. Global comedic tastes have changed over the years; we don't see much "classic" slapstick any more. Lucy loved to play it and Isabel Sanford always wished for more opportunities to play physical comedy than "The Jeffersons" gave us. By the way, her last season episode...

Way back in 1991, my pal Dudley Johnson (who had produced a talk show I hosted in Boston (in the 1970s!) and then later went on to produce and write the "classic" sitcom series "Different Strokes" and "Webster") came to me with an idea. We both loved pop culture and celebrities and I love a great cup of coffee, so he thought ""Why not put them together?" The result was "Lemack & Company Live," ...

For their "capstone," end-of-semester project, students in the Emerson College Los Angeles "Business of Acting" class produced an industry showcase that features wonderful original content, as well as their directed interpretation and reimagining of scenes from some of their favorite television shows and films. Appearing in the showcase are Madeleine Beimford, Amy Lee Bullock, Camra Godwin, Joh...

I have had the opportunity to meet and work with some pretty remarkable people over the years and among them was the wonderful Pat Harrington. I got to know Pat from my work on the television series "One Day at a Time." Of course he was the actor who played the usually hilarious role of Schneider, the builder "super," in an Indianapolis apartment building where Bonnie Franklin (as newly divorce...

I have known actress Betsy Palmer since I was 15 years old. That’s a lot of years. I have been her manager since the mid-1980’s. That’s also a lot of years. I’m so sad to have to report that Betsy died last Friday (5/29/15), at age 88, of natural causes, in a hospice care center near her Connecticut home. She was one of the most gracious, kind, generous and loving people I have ever known. No h...

I knew Casey Kasem and his wife, Jean, long before my 1991 interview with him in Beverly Hills for our coffee shop chat series. I was always impressed with Casey's eagerness to interact with the public and the kindness he showed his fans. He was smart, he was passionate and, in his later years, he used his voice as an activist who spoke out on world peace and politics. But he always remained th...

After a long battle with cancer, I am so sorry to have to announce this morning the death last night of my pal and client of nearly 30 years actor Henry Polic II. Henry, who found television pop culture fame as the Sheriff of Nottingham in the 1975 Mel Brooks television series "When Things Were Rotten" and as Uncle Jerry Silver in the 1980s television series "Webster," was 68. Henry was also a ...

Actor Robert Mandan was part of a huge landscape shift in American sit-com television in the late 1970's with his role as Chester Tate on the ground-breaking 1977 - 1981 comedy series "Soap." He talked about his life before, during and after Chester Tate in our 1992 "Lemack & Company LIVE!" Beverly Hills-based coffee show chat show. This is a preview of the full interview, which is available on...

So, so sad to hear the news this morning of the death of actress Bonnie Franklin, one of the best. I first met Bonnie back in the early 1980's when I worked as the publicist for her acclaimed CBS-TV series "One Day at a Time." When I later opened my own talent management and PR company, Bonnie soon came along and it was beyond a joy to work with her and for her through the many projects we did ...
