ABOUT ME

Hello.  Welcome to the homepage for my podcast, which I host with NAN McNAMARA, and my blog, FROM BENEATH THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN.  If you love old movies, Hollywood history, or the golden age of filmmaking, you've come to the right place. Join me as I take you on a guided tour back to a time when pictures were big, everyone "had faces," and everyone was ready for thier close-up.

A little bit about myself: I'm a Southern transplant who grew up watching old movies on the late, late show on channel 3 out of Memphis. (Thank God, I had parents who let me stay up late to watch these classics!) And in case you're wondering, my favorite classic film stars are Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Mitchum. 

I am a writer/producer and have been living in Hollywood for over 25 years.  I am the writer/producer of the short-form series, BREAK A HIP, which was awarded a 2018 Primetime Emmy. (You can catch it at www.breakahip.com )  I am also  the author of the novel, WALKING ON ELECTRIC AIR, which was published in 2010.  I graduated from  the University of Tennessee-Knoxville  (Go Vols!!) with a degree in broadcast journalism,  And as the title suggests, I do live in the Hollywood Hills -- beneath the Hollywood sign, of course!

I hope you enjoy the site. Say hello!
