Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Burt Kearns, Author, “SHEMP! The Biography of the Three Stooges’ Shemp Howard”About Harvey's guest:Today’s guest, Burt Kearns, is an award-winning producer, director, writer, journalist and author who is renowned for his work in nonfiction television and film, in TV shows like “Breaking the Ice”, “Legsville Oral History”, “Guinness World Records Unleashed”, “Joe Rogan Questions Everything”, “The Secret History of Rock 'n' Roll” with Gene Simmons, “All The Presidents’ Movies”, and many more. He produced the excellent 2001 documentary, “Death of A Beatle”, about the death of John Lennon, and he co-wrote and produced the 2006 movie, “Cloud 9”, starring Burt Reynolds. He’s an Emmy Award winning newswriter, and he served as managing editor and producer of the highly popular TV shows, “A Current Affair” and “Hard Copy”.  But beyond all of that, our guest is also a highly acclaimed author. He wrote, “Tabloid Baby”, which traces the evolution of the tabloid television genre. He then co-wrote “The Show Won't Go On: The Most Shocking, Bizarre, and Historic Deaths of Performers Onstage”, followed by “Lawrence Tierney: Hollywood's Real-Life Tough Guy”.  Last year, he appeared on our show to discuss his brilliant bestselling book entitled, “Marlon Brando: Hollywood Rebel”. And now, he’s back to talk about his brand new book entitled, “Shemp: The Biography of the Three Stooges’ Shemp Howard: The Face of Film Comedy.” The Three Stooges are widely considered to be the greatest, most successful and most influential slapstick comedy group in modern history, and if you’re a fan of The Three Stooges – and who isn’t? – this extremely well-researched book is an absolute must-read, because the author enlightens us on the incredibly impressive – but until now, largely unexplored - life and body of work of the most misunderstood and the most underrated member of The Three Stooges, Shemp Howard, who was actually a highly accomplished, influential and respected comic actor in his own right.  Along with his brother Moe and vaudeville comedian Larry Fine, Shemp was an original member of the Three Stooges, but in 1932 he quit the group to pursue a solo acting career. He appeared in over a hundred movies alongside the biggest Hollywood stars, including W.C. Fields, John Wayne, James Stewart, Marlene Dietrich, William Powell, Lon Chaney Jr., Myrna Loy, and the team of Abbott & Costello.  But in 1946, when Curly became too ill to continue working, Shemp gave up a successful film career to help his brothers out by returning to The Three Stooges. And what’s really fascinating and compelling about this book, is that, because of his meticulous research, our guest challenges and debunks the “official” version of Three Stooges history, largely promoted by Moe, that’s been repeated for decades. The book shatters many myths and uncovers the surprising and often troubling facts behind the scenes surrounding Shemp’s departure from and return to The Three Stooges, and the circumstances surrounding his untimely death.  But more than anything, the book confirms Shemp Howard’s well-deserved place in cinematic history. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/To learn more about Burt Kearns, go to:https://www.instagram.com/burtkearns/@harveybrownstone,#harveybrownstone,@harveybrownstoneinterviews,#harveybrownstoneinterviews,#BurtKearns,@BurtKearns,#ShempHoward,#TheThreeStooges,#MoeHoward,#LarryFine,#CurlyHoward,#Slapstickcomedy,#Comedymovies,#TedHealy,#MarlonBrando,#JoeRogan,#GeneSimmons,#JohnLennon,#BurtReynolds,#WCFields,#JohnWayne,#JamesStewart,#MarleneDietrich,#WilliamPowell,#LonChaneyJr,#MyrnaLoy,#AbbottandCostelloAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Gordon. And he co-wrote “Connect - The Ultimate Human Superpower - 38 Remarkable Journeys into the Inner Realm of Mind Power”, together with Sam Beard. And in 2022, he published a delicious memoir entitled, “Perfect Moments”. For more information on Joel Brokaw, go to:https://joelbrokaw.com/@harveybrownstone,#harveybrownstone,@harveybrownstoneinterviews,#harveybrownstoneinterviews,#JoelBrokaw,@JoelBrokaw,#NormanBrokaw,#MarilynMonroe,#JohnnyHyde,#LorettaYoung,#BarbaraStanwyck,#PresidentGeraldFord,#BettyFord,#ColonelTomParker,#SusanHayward,#TonyOrlando,#BerryGordy,#BillCosby,#LadySingstheBlues,#DianaRoss,Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Linda Ambrus Broenniman, Author, “The Politzer Saga” About Harvey's guest: Today’s guest, Linda Ambrus Broenniman, has quite a fascinating and important story to tell.  She and her 6 siblings were raised by her parents, Julian and Clare Ambrus, who were highly respected doctors in Buffalo, New York.   Although she and her siblings were given very few details of her family history, she knew that her parents had immigrated to America from Hungary in 1949, and her paternal grandmother came from Hungary to live with them in 1956.  And she knew that her parents were Catholic, and that’s how she was raised.    Then, in 1983, at the age of 27, she learned, quite by accident, that her father and his family were Jewish.   And then a miracle happened.  Following a house fire in 2011, a box full of important documents and photographs, that had been hidden away, somehow survived.  The contents of that box launched our guest on a quest – an intensive search to uncover her family history, through a meticulous and arduous process of examining gravestones, newspaper ads and a myriad of government, school and synagogue records.   Her search for the truth, beginning in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 1700’s, ultimately allowed her to piece together the astonishing saga of her Jewish ancestors – the Politzer family – a family of doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, writers, musicians, art collectors, and philanthropists.  She learned of their remarkable struggles, bravery and resilience in surviving religious persecution, wars, epidemics, economic upheavals, and of course, the Holocaust perpetrated by Nazi Germany in World War 2.   Our guest has written a compelling book, entitled “The Politzer Saga”, which not only honours the memories of her lost family and shows us how finding our roots can help anchor your own place in the world.   But more importantly, she’s illuminated the history of the Jewish community in Hungary over 300 years, showing us the destructive power of hatred, dehumanization, and injustice - a powerful story encompassing issues that, sadly, still resonate today.   The Politzer Saga is also the subject of a permanent Exhibit which was launched in August 2021 at the Rumbach Synagogue in Budapest. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ To learn more about Linda Ambrus Broenniman, go to:https://politzersaga.com/ #LindaAmbrusBroenniman    #harveybrownstoneinterviewsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Lesley Nicol, Renowned Actress, Downton Abbey’s “Mrs. Patmore” About Harvey's guest: Today’s guest, Lesley Nicol, is a beloved actress from England, whose show-stopping portrayal of “Mrs. Patmore” on the iconic television series “Downton Abbey”, and the 2 feature films that followed, has contributed enormously to the popularity and success of that wonderful show.   She and her fellow “Downton Abbey” cast members received 3 Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.  But beyond “Downton Abbey”, our guest has done much, much more in her remarkable career.    On stage in London’s West End, she played “Rosie” in the original production of the international smash hit show, “Mama Mia”.  She originated the role of “Kath” in “Our House”, based on the music of Madness.  She played “Little Buttercup” in the revival of “HMS Pinafore”.  And she originated the role of the nosy neighbour, “Auntie Annie”, not only in the play, “East is East”, but also in the multi-award winning 1999 film and in the sequel, “West is West”.   On television, besides “Downton Abbey”, she’s appeared in dozens of series, mini-series and TV movies including “The Practice”, “The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe”, “Staying Alive”, “Casualty”, “Shameless”, “The Bill”, “Heartbeat”, “Hot in Cleveland”, “The Catch”, “Beecham House”, and many more.   And you may also recognize her as “Aunt Tea” from a series of TV commercials for Tetley tea.   Our guest is also very well known for her dedicated service to several important charities.  She is a UK Ambassador for “Animals Asia”, which is devoted to ending the barbaric practice of bear bile farming, and to improving the welfare of animals in China and Vietnam.  She is also an ambassador for Medical Detection Dogs, which trains dogs to detect human disease and to assist people to manage complex medical conditions.   For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ To learn more about Lesley Nicol, go to:http://www.lesleynicol.co.uk/https://twitter.com/lesley_nicol #lesleynicol   #harveybrownstoneinterviewsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Ruth Schmidt, Pastor and Trailblazing LGBTQ+ Clergy About Harvey's guest: Today’s show deals with the issue of religious institutions discriminating against the LGBTQ+ community.    Our guest, Pastor Ruth Schmidt, was a senior director at the Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, until she was fired for refusing to sign the school’s mandatory statement of faith, which prohibits affirmation of same-sex marriage.    When she first entered Fuller as a student in 2016, she did sign the statement of faith.  And she signed it again in 2022, this time as an employee, pursuant to Fuller’s policy of requiring senior staff members to sign the statement annually.  I should point out that there are court rulings throughout the United States, permitting discrimination by religious institutions against gay students and employees, and this was most recently seen in October 2020, when the court affirmed the Fuller Seminary’s right to expel 2 students for being in same-sex marriages.    Getting back to our guest, when she was required in 2023 to re-sign the statement, she realized that it would be wrong for her to do that, given her imminent ordination into the United Church of Christ, which DOES accept marriage for same-sex couples.   And she ALSO came to the realization that it was ethically wrong and hypocritical for the Fuller Theological Seminary, which prides itself in being multi-denominational, to make money from denominations that affirm same-sex marriage, but at the same time, compel its students and employees to sign a homophobic statement of faith, and to dismiss those who refuse to do so.    As a result of our guest being fired, and the groundswell of support she received, not only from students and faculty at Fuller, but from the community at large and the media, the Board of Trustees at the Fuller Theological Seminary created a task force to reconsider its policies relating to human sexuality, and the school has now proposed new sexuality standards for the students, but NOT for staff and faculty.    So there is still much work to be done.   For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ To learn more about Ruth Schmidt, go to:https://www.instagram.com/rutheschmidt/ https://twitter.com/ruthschmidt #RuthSchmidt    #harveybrownstoneinterviewsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Deborah Presley Brando, Elvis Presley’s Daughter, Author, “Memoirs of a Starseed Child: Elvis, Marlon, Christian and Me” About Harvey's guest: Today’s special guest, Deborah Presley Brando, has lived a life that most of us could never possibly imagine, in the shadow of one of the greatest superstars of all time – Elvis Presley.    Although many people still believe that Elvis had only one child, Lisa Marie, who passed away tragically last year at the age of 54, the fact is – and this has been confirmed by an order of the Tennessee Court of Appeal - Elvis had another child, our guest, born on March 4, 1956.   Our guest’s mother, Barbara Jean Lewis, met Elvis in 1954, before he became famous, through his cousin Gene Smith, when she was 14 years old.  She had a romantic relationship with Elvis in the summer of 1955, when she spent several weeks with him on tour in Mississippi.  Elvis and Barbara were very much in love, and when Elvis learned of the pregnancy, he invited Barbara to come to Memphis and live with his parents.  Barbara did visit Elvis in Memphis, but his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, fearing the impact on Elvis’ career and public image of being seen in the company of a pregnant 16-year-old girl, persuaded Barbara to return home to her family in North Carolina.  Barbara married a man by the name of Don Yandel prior to having the baby, and she kept the identity of our guest’s father a secret from her for many years, until 1977, when, at the age of 21, she finally told her daughter the truth.   She also told our guest that Elvis had been a part of her life until she was 4 years old, and that he sent gifts and money throughout her childhood.    In the 80s our guest became good friends with the one person besides her mother, who was able to confirm the details that I’ve just mentioned:  Elvis’ cousin and best friend Gene Smith, who was Elvis’ driver and who was with him constantly, including during the time of Elvis’ relationship with Barbara.   In fact, Gene Smith provided a crucial affidavit in the court case launched by our guest, leading to the judicial finding that our guest is, indeed, the biological daughter of Elvis Presley.     Our guest has written a fascinating and compelling book entitled “Memoirs of a Starseed Child: Elvis, Marlon, Christian and Me”, in which she shares her heart wrenching and sometimes traumatic journey through a difficult childhood, her quest to learn the truth about her paternity and to be acknowledged and validated for who she is, and several complicated relationships including her marriage to Marlon Brando’s late son Christian.   Our guest has also written a children’s book entitled, “Creations of the Goddess Maylaya: An American Fairy Tale”, and she’s had a varied career, not only as a writer, but as a special education assistant working with autistic children, and as an artist and a curator for an art gallery. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ To learn more about Deborah Presley Brando, go to:https://www.facebook.com/deborah.presley.98/https://www.instagram.com/deborahdelainepresley/https://twitter.com/devidelaine #DeborahPresleyBrando    #harveybrownstoneinterviewsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Dr. Audrey Birnbaum, Author, "American Wolf: From Nazi Refugee to American Spy" About Harvey's guest: As many of you know, we have featured a number of authors on our show who’ve written books about surviving the Holocaust.   Today’s guest, Dr. Audrey Birnbaum, has produced a highly compelling and emotionally powerful book that came into existence in a rather unusual way.   When her father, Wolf Schwersenz, was an 11-year old child living with his parents in Nazi Germany, and suffering horrific antisemitic persecution, as all European Jews did after the rise of Hitler, the family overcame every conceivable obstacle and narrowly escaped deportation and death in 1941, by miraculously finding a way to get to America.   When Wolf turned 75, he wrote his life story, entitled “The History of My Life’s Struggles”, vividly retelling and preserving his memories of his childhood in Nazi Germany, his family’s death-defying escape from Europe, the arduous and horrific 5-week journey across the Atlantic in an unspeakably ill-equipped and dangerously overcrowded cargo ship, and the sometimes painful and challenging transition to life in America for himself, his parents and his sister, as new immigrants.  He also wrote about his fascinating experiences as an intelligence officer in the American Military when he was sent back to East Germany in the 1950’s.  Twelve years after Wolf wrote his life story, and after he passed away in 2018, his daughter, our guest, found her father’s 340 pages of notes in her attic.   And she carefully and lovingly converted those notes into a book, entitled "American Wolf: From Nazi Refugee to American Spy", telling her father’s story through HIS voice.  It’s a riveting, heart-stopping, true story full of last-minute rescues, near-death encounters, and survival against untold odds.

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Rena Lipiner Katz, Author, “A Life Inherited:  Unraveling the Trauma of a Second Generation Holocaust Survivor”About Harvey's guest: Today’s guest, Rena Lipiner Katz, has written a compelling and insightful book about a subject that’s near and dear to my heart.  It’s a memoir entitled, “A Life Inherited:  Unraveling the Trauma of a Second Generation Holocaust Survivor”.   Born in New York and raised by parents whose lives were irrevocably shaped by the trauma they endured during World War 2, she grew up in the shadow of the atrocities of the Holocaust.  It’s well known that the terror that Holocaust survivors experienced, delivered to MY generation, an overabundance of fear and anxiety, and a predisposition to feel stress.   Our guest grew up believing that the price of her parents’ survival, and indeed, of her own birth, was a life of sorrow, anxiety and guilt.  In her book, she explores how her parents’ childhood trauma as Holocaust victims, fundamentally shaped her emotional and physiological development.  She chronicles her journey and  her determination to forge a life separate from the legacy of the Holocaust, which she refers to as her “scorched birthright”.  But in order to do that, she had to first understand how her vicarious absorption of her parents’ horrific experiences during the war, impacted her world view, her relationships, and the myriad of choices she made as a child, wife and mother.   She shares with us, in a very personal way, what it means to be a 2nd generation Holocaust survivor, and how she unravelled and ultimately healed the trauma of her inherited past, and eventually triumphed over tragedy and despair, and found a life filled with meaning, peace of mind and love. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ To see more about Rena Lipiner Katz, go to:https://wilburanddolce.comhttps://www.amazon.ca/Life-Inherited-Unraveling-Second-Generation-Holocaust/ https://twitter.com/rena4nyc #RenaLipinerKatz   #harveybrownstoneinterviewsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

With her irrepressible energy, fearless Bronx swagger, and captivatingly blunt oratorical frankness, she was determined to break up the “old boys’ club”, and that she did.  She battled for women’s rights, seniors’ rights, children’s rights, gay rights, racial equality - in fact, she fought for civil rights for everyone.  She fought vigorously against the Vietnam War.   She endured the mounting forces from both the right and the left, and the powers of the Nixon Administration, the CIA, FBI, and of course, the media.  The film is entitled, “Bella:  This Woman’s Place is in the House”, and it won the prestigious Library of Congress Ken Burns Prize for Film.   This fascinating and compelling film includes never-before-seen home movies, audio diaries, newly-discovered news footage, and interviews with Hilary Clinton, Barbara Streisand, Shirley MacLaine, Lily Tomlin, Gloria Steinem, Marlo Thomas, and many more.   There can be no question that Bella Abzug paved the way for future generations of female leadership, not only in politics, but in EVERY field.   And thanks to our guest, the whole world is FINALLY going to know this amazing woman once and for all. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ To see more about Jeff Lieberman and Bella Abzug, go to:http://www.bella1970.com/https://www.re-emergingfilms.com/https://www.facebook.com/BellaDocumentary/https://twitter.com/belladocfilm https://www.instagram.com/belladocfilm/ #JeffLieberman   #harveybrownstoneinterviewsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Phyllis Taylor, Life Coach, Mediator, Motivational Speaker, Author, “The Prison Lady: True Stories and Life Lessons From Both Sides of the Bars” About Harvey's guest: Today’s guest, Phyllis Taylor, is a remarkable woman who reinvented herself in a most innovative and unique way, following her retirement from a 30-year career as a paralegal, technical writer and training specialist at a major law firm.    After attending one of Oprah Winfrey’s public speaking engagements, she decided to become a volunteer in prisons, where, for the past decade, she has worked with countless male and female inmates to develop their self esteem, anger management, problem solving skills, positive thinking, and a variety of life skills and coping mechanisms to help them in the rehabilitative process.    Her unique combination of interpersonal skills, compassion, common sense and a huge heart, made her an immensely popular and sought-after personality within the jail system, and she was even awarded “Volunteer of the Year” at one of Canada’s largest women’s prisons.    Her experiences in the jails, and the many insights she learned not only about the correctional system, but from the prisoners she worked with, are the subject of her fascinating book entitled, “The Prison Lady:  True Stories and Life Lessons From Both Sides of the Bars”.     This is an entertaining, moving and inspirational book full of empathy and profound perceptions about an almost totally neglected and forgotten segment of society.  Her book resonated with me on multiple levels, not only because of my 26 year career as a family and criminal court judge, but because this woman has  articulated so beautifully, the key to what it means to live a meaningful and purposeful life.   In addition to her work in prisons and as a writer, she’s a certified life coach, mediator and motivational speaker. But in my opinion, she’s much, much more than that.  She’s a HEALER. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ To see more about Phyllis Taylor, go to:https://www.facebook.com/phyllis.sharon.taylor #PhyllisTaylor   #harveybrownstoneinterviewsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This documentary demonstrates how each of their lives was shaped by the 'Saturday Matinees' of yester-year, the era they grew up in, and the history of Hollywood and its movies.   Our guest started out at the age of 14 as a projectionist at his local movie theatre.  At 15, he was an usher, and over the next 20 years, he worked his way up to general manager of the entire chain of movie theatres.  In the late 60’s, he met silent screen star Harold Lloyd, and when Mr. Lloyd passed away, our guest became General Manager of the Harold Lloyd Estate Museum in Beverly Hills.  He then opened the Hollywood Poster and Book Shop in Los Angeles, and in the early 80’s, he opened the first video store in Burbank, California, specializing in old movies, which he continued to do as a mail order service until he retired in 2004.   For almost 20 years he’s been involved in the Lone Pine Film Festival and the Museum of Western Film History in Lone Pine, California, where over 400 films were made in Lone Pine’s world-famous Alabama Hills.   He’s the executive producer and star of the film, “Brotherhood of the Popcorn”, and the President of the Cliffhangers Club. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ http://www.brotherhoodofthepopcorn.com/http://www.facebook.com/popcornbrotherhoodhttps://twitter.com/WiseWoodyhttps://youtu.be/p73Lr89TUI4https://www.instagram.com/predator_productions/ #WiseWoody    #harveybrownstoneinterviewsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Angela Hagenbach, Acclaimed Jazz Vocalist About Harvey's guest: Today’s guest, Angela Hagenbach, is one of America’s most popular jazz singers, whose extraordinary 3-octave vocal range, unique phrasing and ebullient singing style make every song she sings truly her own – and very memorable.    With her sultry contralto voice, she sings everything from swinging, straightforward jazz and blues to sensual, rhythmic Latin Jazz with effortless agility.  She’s recorded 6 albums entitled, “Come Fly With Me”, “Feel the Magic”, “Weaver of Dreams”, “Poetry of Love”, “Musa Nova”, and her latest album, “The Way They Make Me Feel”, beautifully produced by the brilliant George Klabin of Resonance Records, who selected some classic songs by Michel Legrand, Henry Mancini and Johnny Mandel.  It's been said by more than one music critic – and I agree – that when this woman sings, she has the uncanny ability to turn jazz into a spiritual experience.   In 2015 she finished as 1st runner-up at the Sarah Vaughan Jazz Vocal Competition.  That same year, she wrote the acclaimed “Jazz Alice: An Adventure in Wonderland”, a musical theatre production based on Lewis Carroll’s classic book, set to the music of John Coltrane.   She performs regularly at jazz clubs and concert venues in her home town of Kansas City, as well as around the country, and internationally.   The renowned jazz historian Scott Yanow listed our guest as one of the greatest jazz singers of all time in his book, “The Great Jazz Singers: The Ultimate Guide”.   And if that weren’t enough, our guest was TWICE chosen by the US State Department to represent the United States as a Cultural Jazz Ambassador in TWO world tours, starting at the Kennedy Center and performing in 17 countries. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/https://angelahagenbach.co/https://www.facebook.com/angela.hagenbach.1https://www.instagram.com/angelahagenbach/https://angelahagenbach.bandcamp.com/album/the-way-they-make-me-feelhttps://music.apple.com/us/artist/angela-hagenbach/4582211https://resonancerecords.org/artists/angela-hagenbach/ #AngelaHagenbach   #harveybrownstoneinterviewsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Terri Jay, Acclaimed Intuitive, Medium, Animal Communicator About Harvey's guest: Today’s guest, Terri Jay, is an internationally acclaimed intuitive, medium, life coach, animal communicator, educator and author.    For over 30 years, she’s been giving readings and intuitive sessions, basing her work on physics, by tuning into the universe’s energy, frequencies and vibrations, to develop, inform and utilize her spiritual senses.  Her abilities are truly remarkable.  She helps us connect with deceased loved ones, as well as with LIVING people who are unable to communicate due to an illness such as Alzheimer’s or being in a coma.  She helps people communicate with their beloved pets, both living and deceased.     And she’s a renowned horse whisperer.  As a medical intuitive, she can scan a person’s physical body, including the chakras or energy centers, and find the sources of stuck energy, which – as she says - can cause “issues in our tissues”, and is the source of illness, injury, and disease.   She’s written 3 bestselling books, entitled, “The Cowgirl Shaman Way: Seven Easy Steps to Develop Your Intuitive Ability”, “Intuitive Communication: Communicating With Those Who Cannot”, and “The Physics of Mediumship”.    And now, she can be seen in the brand new documentary miniseries entitled, “Paul T. Goldman”, airing on the Peacock network.   The series is based on Mr. Goldman’s book, entitled “Duplicity: A True Story of Crime and Deceit”.  It follows Mr. Goldman’s efforts to uncover the truth about the woman he married, leading him into a labyrinth of fraud, deception, and criminality.    Our guest’s readings and interactions with Mr. Goldman were instrumental in his eventual realization that his new bride was not who or what she pretended to be, and that his marriage was nothing more than a sham.  The information that our guest shared with Mr. Goldman motivated him to transform himself from a wimp to a warrior. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ https://terrijay.com/https://www.facebook.com/cowgirlshaman/https://twitter.com/terrijayhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/terri-jay-0a1a0618/ #terrijay   #cowgirlshaman  #harveybrownstoneinterviewsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Darryl Stickel, Author, “Building Trust: Exceptional Leadership in an Uncertain World” About Harvey's guest: Today’s show is all about a topic that’s rarely discussed:  trust.    Although trust is a basic, intuitive human reaction, and it should play a major part in a well-functioning society, it is at an all-time low in our personal relationships, business institutions, governments, health care, and law enforcement.   Fewer people attend a place of worship than at any time in the last century.  Citizens fear their votes are not being counted, and that politicians are simply con artists who are lying to them.  Some people believe that our system of democracy itself has no legitimacy.  Millions of people refuse to take life-saving vaccines because they don’t trust what medical professionals and the media are telling them.  In law enforcement and the justice system, a lack of trust motivates noncooperation, fear, and a breakdown in law and order.     In fact, in 2020, the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, stated that “trust is at a breaking point and could have profound implications for international cooperation, because without it, humanity cannot survive.”   Today’s guest, Darryl Stickel, believes we’re facing an unprecedented trust deficit crisis.  He wrote his PhD thesis on "Building Trust in Hostile Environments", and he’s dedicated his career as an executive coach, to teaching leaders how to effectively build trust in their relationships.  He’s a professor at the Luxembourg School of Business, teaching in their MBA and executive education programs.   His new book, entitled “Building Trust: Exceptional Leadership in an Uncertain World”, outlines his groundbreaking, practical and insightful  methodology for building trust, which he calls the “Trust Unlimited” model.  He’s been described as a “Trust Savant”, because he’s  one of the world’s leading experts on diagnosing critically important trust problems for individuals, teams and organizations at the highest level, and helping them to create a path to move forward in a positive and constructive way. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ https://www.trustunlimited.com/https://www.facebook.com/TrustUnlimited https://www.linkedin.com/company/trust-unlimited/  #darrylstickel   # trustunlimited  #harveybrownstoneinterviewsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Stanley A. Goldman, Professor of Law, Director, Center for the Study of Law and Genocide, Author, “Left to the Mercy of a Rude Stream: The Bargain That Broke Adolf Hitler and Saved my Mother”  About Harvey's guest: Today’s guest, Stanley A. Goldman, has written a book that moved me so deeply, that I simply had to invite him on our show.  The book is entitled, “Left to the Mercy of a Rude Stream: The Bargain That Broke Adolf Hitler and Saved my Mother”.   Our guest tells the riveting and harrowing account of how his mother, Malka Repstein, a young Jewish wife and mother living in Poland during the Second World War, survived the unspeakably brutal murder by the Nazis of her husband and 2 young children, and spent 2 years in the horrific Lodz ghetto, before being transported to the Auschwitz death camp, where she and a group of 500 women were literally at the steps of the gas chambers, when they were miraculously saved and sent to the Krupp Munitions Factory in Berlin to work as slaves, and subjected to inhuman living and working conditions.   In April 1945, the women were transported from the factory to the notorious Ravensbruk concentration camp to be exterminated.  Malka had no idea that her life would be saved by a bizarrely improbable and little known bargain struck on April 21, 1945, by a courageous German Jew with a Swedish passport, by the name of Norbert Masur, and the worst mass murderer of the 3rd Reich, Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS and Gestapo, directly responsible for the implementation of the unprecedented and most extensive genocide in history, carried out by the Nazi regime, and forever referred to as the Holocaust.   Himmler, who by that time realized only too well that the Germans were headed for humiliating defeat, was desperate to cultivate a positive relationship with the Allies in the hopes of saving his own skin.  And so he secretly agreed to release 1,000 Jewish female prisoners from the Ravensbruk concentration camp and turn them over to the Red Cross for safe passage to Sweden.  Malka eventually went to America, married Morris Goldman, and gave birth to our guest.   He’s a professor of law at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, as well as a celebrated journalist and television news correspondent and legal analyst.  He’s also the founding director of the Loyola Center for the Study of Law and Genocide. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Stanley-Goldman/100019312322944/ #StanleyAGoldman    #harveybrownstoneinterviewsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Henry Jaglom, Renowned Writer & Director About Harvey's guest: Today’s guest, Henry Jaglom, is a renowned and highly respected writer, director and playwright, whose body of work reflects his life long dedication to truth, honesty and authenticity in his artistic expression.    He trained with Lee Strasberg at The Actor’s Studio in New York, where he acted, wrote and directed plays.  He then made his way to Hollywood, first as an actor in movies including “Psych-Out”, “Drive, He Said”, and “The Last Movie”, and then as a filmmaker.  He wrote and directed such classics as “A Safe Place”, “Sitting Ducks”, “Tracks”, “Can She Bake a Cherry Pie”, “Eating”, “Last Summer in the Hamptons”, “New Year’s Day”, “Hollywood Dreams”, “Deja Vu”, and my personal favourite, “Train to Zakopané”.   He’s worked with some amazing actors including Jack Nicholson, Lee Grant, Maximillian Schell, Dennis Hopper, Roddy McDowell, Vanessa Redgrave, Faye Dunaway, David Duchovny – and he made 3 movies with Orson Welles, with whom he formed a deep friendship.  In fact, in 2014, a fascinating book by film historian Peter Biskind was released, entitled, “My Lunches with Orson”, based on a series of previously unreleased recordings, of private conversations between our guest and Orson Welles every week over lunch at the famous “Ma Maison” restaurant in Hollywood.  The book provides the most riveting and revealing insight into the enigmatic, wickedly witty and restlessly intelligent person that Orson Welles really was.    Our guest is widely considered to be a cinematic genius and a true maverick of American cinema – so much so, that he’s the subject of a fascinating 1995 documentary entitled, “Who is Henry Jaglom?”    Well, my friends, you’re about to find out.   For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ https://www.facebook.com/henry.jaglom/ https://mobile.twitter.com/henryjaglomhttps://www.youtube.com/user/HenryJaglom #henryjaglom      #harveybrownstoneinterviewsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Casey LaLonde, Grandson of Screen Legend, Joan Crawford About Harvey's guest: Today’s guest, Casey LaLonde, is the grandson of one of the greatest cinematic legends of all time, Joan Crawford.  In 1947, 7 years after adopting her children Christina and Christopher, Ms. Crawford adopted twin daughters, Cathy and Cindy.    Our guest is the son of Cathy Crawford LaLonde, who, sadly, passed away on January 10, 2020.    Although our guest was only 5 years old when his superstar grandmother, whom he affectionately called “JoJo”, passed away, he has many fond memories of his time spent at her home in New York.  And he’s dedicated a great deal of his time and energy in preserving, celebrating and honouring her incredible body of work and legacy.    Joan Crawford made 89 movies, including some of my all-time favourites:  “Grand Hotel”, “The Women”, “A Woman’s Face”, “Humoresque”, “Flamingo Road”, “Sudden Fear”, “Autumn Leaves”, “Possessed”, “The Damned Don’t Cry”, “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane”, and of course, “Mildred Pearce”, for which she won an Academy Award.  She also appeared in dozens of TV shows including “General Electric Theatre”, “Della”, “The Lucy Show” and “Night Gallery”.   Joan Crawford rose from a youth of dire poverty, and literally reinvented herself, first into a dancer in the roaring 20’s, then into a silent screen star, and then into a full-fledged screen goddess.   She was known for her phenomenal work ethic and perfectionism, as well as her incredible devotion to her fans.    After her death in 1977, her eldest daughter Christina published a book entitled “Mommie Dearest”, claiming that Joan was physically and emotionally abusive to herself and her brother Christopher.  The book, which was made into a movie starring Faye Dunaway, was hugely controversial, and was immediately denounced by many of Ms. Crawford’s friends and co-workers, as well as by her daughters Cathy and Cindy – although to be fair, some celebrities including Helen Hayes, June Allyson and director Vincent Sherman, while never witnessing any abuse, DID describe Ms. Crawford as an unusually strict parent.    Whatever may be the case, the book and movie had the unfortunate effect of somewhat overshadowing and tarnishing Joan Crawford’s well-deserved place as one of the Golden Age of Hollywood’s most important and prolific leading ladies.   Her handprints and footprints are in the forecourt at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.  She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  She was awarded the Cecil B. DeMille award at the 1970 Golden Globes.  And the American Film Institute named her the 10th greatest female movie star of all time.    The efforts of our guest, to shine a light on Ms. Crawford’s talent and artistic legacy, are greatly appreciated by her legions of fans, including myself. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ https://joancrawfordma.tripod.com/ https://joancrawfordestate.comhttps://hollywoodblends.com/shop/Joan-Crawford-The-Grand-Hotel-Blend-p478701098 #CaseyLaLonde   #JoanCrawford    #harveybrownstoneinterviewsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Barri Cohen, Award-Winning Documentary Filmmaker, “UNLOVED - HURONIA’S FORGOTTEN CHILDREN” About Harvey's guest: Today’s guest, Barri Cohen, is an award-winning filmmaker, best known for documentaries focusing on health, mental health, environmental and social justice issues.   Some of her best known works include her feature documentary entitled, “Toxic Trespass: Children’s Health & The Environment”, “Toxic Beauty” and “Girls Night Out”.    Her latest film adds to the recent revelations here in Canada, of brutal legacies of neglect, abuse, violence and the trauma inflicted on our most vulnerable citizens.  We know about the tragic and horrendous plight of Indigenous children in residential schools.  We’ve learned what’s happened to many children at the hands of Catholic priests.  We’ve heard about the treatment of elderly people isolated in nursing homes.  And now, thanks to our guest, we’re learning about the shameful and horrific treatment of disabled, institutionalized children, in her multi-award winning documentary entitled, “UNLOVED - HURONIA’S FORGOTTEN CHILDREN”.    The movie takes us on an intensely personal journey of the filmmaker’s quest to uncover the mystery of what happened to her 2 long-deceased, intellectually disabled half-brothers, who were rarely talked about, after they were institutionalized in the 1950’s at a government run facility in Orillia, Ontario, first opened in 1876, and called the “Ontario Hospital School”.  It was neither a hospital nor a school.  In 1945, it was renamed the Huronia Regional Center, and it operated until it was finally closed in 2009, after having held captive, tens of thousands of vulnerable children and youth, who suffered dehumanizing treatment.   That institution forms part of the immense tragedy of Canada’s, and the 20th century’s, disastrous treatment of intellectually disabled children.  In the film we meet a number of survivors who speak frankly about the physical, emotional and sexual abuse and trauma they endured, and the landmark class action lawsuit they brought against the Ontario government, which was finally settled in 2013.  The film, written and directed by our guest, will be televised in Canada on the CBC network on Sunday January 29, and will then be available on CBC GEM.  Our guest was the co-chair and a founding member of the Hot Docs International Documentary Film Festival.  She was the National Executive Chair of the Documentary Organization of Canada.  And she’s the former editor and publisher, and currently a columnist, at Point of View Magazine.  And if that weren’t enough, she’s currently studying psychoanalysis.   For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ https://www.whitepinepictures.com/documentary/unlovedhttps://mobile.twitter.com/barridochttps://www.instagram.com/barri.cohen/ #BarriCohen   #unloveddoc   #harveybrownstoneinterviewsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
