Duke Mehal Rockefeller Saves “I Feel Sin” Play

HELLO AMERICA!—When hearing the latest report concerning the opening of the Pre-Broadway play with music, “I Feel Sin Comin’ On,” it is reminiscent of one of MGM’s films that before the big opening, there were so many stumbling and surprising issues to face; it always turned out as a miracle why and how the show actually made on a...

The Night I Decided My Father Must Die!

HELLO AMERICA!—Growing up in a small town outside of Philly, life was nothing like the Hollywood, I eventually invaded as a young boy who was set on nothing but winning, no matter what it took. When reminded by students who read my book how it all began, they stress the many achievements I’ve had and I quickly reveal some of...

Emmy Show The Same Ol’ Thing

HELLO AMERICA!—I was hoping that this year’s 65th Annual Emmy Awards show might be more fun or interesting.  It wasn’t. Some of the presenters were given boring one-liners and boring presenting situations that didn’t work, mainly because many of these new people are definitely not interesting on or off camera. The highlight of the evening was, of course, Neil...

“Trump” White House A Comedy Or Tragedy!

HELLO AMERICA!—After much thought and viewing daily reports of the ‘Trump White House’ and cast, without a doubt, the process must be listed as a mad-mad comedy of errors focused on a group of unconscionable miscreants who have no determination, except filling their already stuffed pockets of rewards absconded from hard working, naive middle class citizens. Of course, with...

Pretending Being Lena Horne’s Son Got Me A Job!

HELLO AMERICA!—During the early days, roughing it in Hollywood, I, like many actors, rushed early to purchase the trades. The Hollywood Reporter and Variety  were industry publications, ones which actors referred to when searching information about new films, auditions or anything concerning the entertainment industry itself. In other words, these were the bible for millions of dreamers hoping to survive...

Lady Gaga, I Love Who And What I Am!

HELLO AMERICA!—I was one of those who was totally overwhelmed by Lady Gaga performing her Academy Award nominated song, "Til It Happens to You" at the Oscar ceremony. The dynamic thrust of the lyrics became even more riveting when she was joined onstage by a group of survivors of sexual assault. The song co-written by her friend Diane Warren...

Kamel Raps His Way Into Hollywood Arms

HELLO AMERICA!—The great news is that America’s new found young idol, Kamel from Oran, is in serious rehearsals to make his debut in Hollywood. Our new young discovery has been taking English lessons, four times a week dancing moves and always acting training. “It has been quite exciting to finally head in a direction where I will be able...

Star Ethel Waters Yelled, “Go And Raise Hell!”

HELLO AMERICA!—I have been one of those fortunate ones to have spent most of my life in a place, an industry realizing my artistic, creative dreams. I have met and or worked with or around some of the most fascinating artists on many levels who have guided me on a continued path of survival. Stars like Bette Davis, Dan...

To Be Or Not To Be

HELLO AMERICA!—Without a doubt, the year 2021 will be one for change and one to remember, that's for sure!  With the second attempt at impeaching former President Donald Trump and all the drama that will, no doubt come with it, it will make better TV viewing no matter how many shows or specials the networks attempt to deliver for...
