New REMEMBERING GROUCHO Promo Released!

Terry Motley (of Motley P.R.) just produced this nifty promo touting my REMEMBERING GROUCHO one-man show (and yes, that’s my voice in the video). Hopefully, it will lead to being booked at various colleges, clubs, companies, organizations, theatres, etc. hither and yon, so that I can share my Groucho stories and previously unseen home video of Groucho and me with people who will appreciate it.

New Interview About RAISED EYEBROWS – The Book & The Movie!

I recently had the pleasure of appearing on Chicago’s “Dave & Dave” radio show, along with hosts Dave Weiser and Dave Niven (hence the name). Although they don’t archive their broadcasts once they’ve aired, they were fool…er…kind enough to share the file with me so’s I can share the show with you kindly-type folks. So here I am, yammering on about working for Groucho, writing RAISED EYEBROWS, how Rob Zombie and I got together, and hypothesizing about the upcoming filmic version of said memoir.

Hollywood Reporter Publishes My Piece On The Rob Zombie Film!

For those who may be wondering how I crossed paths with the likes of Rob Zombie and ended up handing over the reins to my very personal story, I have penned this essay, which just appeared in the online edition of The Hollywood Reporter. I originally entitled it I Walked (And Talked) With A Zombie, but the editor explained that they had to go with a title whose key words would trigger the randomly generated algorithms or self-hating logarithms or some sort of newfangled whatchamacallits. At any rate, it’s a fuller explanation of how the RAISED EYEBROWS movie project came to be and why this may not be as outrageous an idea as it might seem.

Vintage Videos Unearthed!

I recently had some of my TV appearances digitized and uploaded to YouTube.  Most of them are from when I was publicizing the initial 1996 edition of RAISED EYEBROWS (“Inside Edition,” “Mysteries & Scandals”) but there’s also my audio interview with Elvis Mitchell on KCRW’s “The Treatment” from when I was banging the drum on behalf of the newly revised and expanded edition.

Some of the interviews include brief clips from my “home movies” of Groucho.  Check ’em out!
