   Harvey Brownstone Interviews Emmy Award Winning Actor, Ernest Harden Jr.

   Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Emmy Award Winning Actor, Ernest Harden Jr. About Harvey's guest: Today’s special guest, Ernest Harden Jr., is making his second appearance on our show, and has been dazzling audiences since we first fell in love with him in his portrayal of “Marcus Henderson” on the classic TV sitcom, “The Jeffersons”. He’s delivered memorable performances in great movies like “Three Days of the Condor”, “White Men Can’t Jump”, “J. Edgar”, “Sweetwater” and “Velvet Jesus”, to name only a few. And he made the whole world take notice when he became the first and only Black actor to co-star with the legendary Bette Davis in the groundbreaking 1980 TV movie, “White Mama”. And most recently, his heart wrenching performance as “Louie Cloverfield” in the blockbuster TV series “The Pitt”, has earned him a well-deserved Emmy Award. And I’m super-excited to announce that very soon, you’ll be seeing him in another unforgettably heartwarming performance in the feature film based on my memoir, “Without Prejudice”, co-starring David Arquette, Daveed Mazouz, Rachelle Lefevre and Joe Lando, and directed by the brilliant Shane Stanley.

   Harvey Brownstone Interviews Samuel Garza Bernstein, Author, “Roddy McDowall: An Actor’s Life”

   Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Samuel Garza Bernstein, Author, “Roddy McDowall: An Actor’s Life, From How Green Was My Valley, to Lassie, to Planet of the Apes” About Harvey's guest: Today’s guest, Samuel Garza Bernstein, is an author, screenwriter, playwright and producer who’s brought us some wonderful feature films like “Silent Lies” and “Bobbie’s Girl”, and the 6-time Emmy Award winning web series, “After Forever”, and stage productions including “The Secret World of Danny Lopez” and “Mr. Confidential”. He’s also written 3 terrific books about legendary Hollywood stars. The first is “Starring Joan Crawford: The Films, the Fantasy, and the Modern Relevance of a Silver Screen Icon”. Then he wrote “Cesar Romero: The Joker is Wild”. And now, he’s released the definitive biography of Roddy McDowall entitled, “Roddy McDowall: An Actor’s Life, From How Green Was My Valley, to Lassie, to Planet of the Apes”. This is a fascinating and engrossing story of a career spanning 60 years, from child stardom during World War II, to transitioning into a successful adult actor in classic movies like “Cleopatra”, “The Poseidon Adventure”, “Fright Night” and, of course, the “Planet of the Apes” franchise. We also learn about his many close friendships with cinematic legends like Elizabeth Taylor and his first love, Montgomery Clift, and we learn how he navigated the world of Hollywood as a gay man, remaining discreet, but never pretending to be straight, and never compromising who he was.
