Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Bill Mumy, Renowned Actor, Musician, Writer and Author, “Danger, Will Robinson: The Full Mumy, A Memoir” 
About Harvey's guest: 
Today’s special guest, Bill Mumy, is an actor, musician and writer, who’s been entertaining the world since he was 5 years old.   
In fact, he was by far the most successful, recognizable and popular child star in the 60’s and 70’s.  He appeared in dozens of TV shows including “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet”, “Bewitched”, “The Twilight Zone”, “Alfred Hitchcock Presents”, “The Fugitive”, and many more.    
But he’s best remembered for playing “Will Robinson” on the iconic, classic TV series, “Lost in Space”, which holds a permanent place in pop culture history.   
He starred in 4 Disney movies and appeared in many other films including “A Child is Waiting”, “Dear Brigitte”, “Palm Springs Weekend”,  and “Bless the Beasts & Children”.  In fact – and this is really jaw-dropping – this man worked with more legendary superstars by the time he hit puberty, than most A-list actors ever do in their entire lives.  He worked with everyone from Red Skelton, Loretta Young, Franchot Tone, June Allyson, to Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Jackie Gleason – and yes, even Brigitte Bardot.   
And get this:  in a highly publicized interview, Jimmy Stewart said that our guest was the ONLY child actor he’d EVER worked with who was worth a damn.  What a compliment!   
As an adult, he’s appeared in many movies like “Papillon”, “Sunshine”, “The Twilight Zone movie”, “Double Trouble”, “Hard to Hold”, and the 1st “Captain America” feature film.  And on TV, he’s appeared in “The Rockford Files”, “Star Trek: Deep Space 9”, “The Adventures of Superboy”, ”Matlock”, “Diagnosis Murder”, and he played “Lennier” for 5 seasons on “Babylon 5”.    
And of course, EVERY “Lost in Space” fan was OVERJOYED to see him appear as “the real Dr. Smith” in the 2018 Netflix reboot of “Lost in Space”.    
Throughout his life, he’s been a highly accomplished and popular musician, both as a solo artist AND as a member of several bands, including “Redwood”, “The Generators”, “Action Skulls” and “Barnes & Barnes”, whose song, “Fish Heads” became a worldwide hit.  He’s released over a dozen albums.  And he got an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Achievement in Music Direction and Composition.    
Besides being an actor and musician, he’s had a prolific voiceover career, and he narrated over 50 episodes of A & E Biography.  He was even the voice of Farmers Insurance for 11 years.  He’s created and written numerous comic books, screenplays and novels.  And for 4 years, he produced, wrote and hosted his own weekly radio show.    
And now, FINALLY, he’s released his highly anticipated memoir entitled, “Danger, Will Robinson: The Full Mumy: A Memoir”, which gives us a very insightful, honest and entertaining look not only at his multi-faceted career, but more importantly, we get to know him as a son, grandson, husband, father, grandfather and human being.

As a songwriter, she’s simply phenomenal.  She’s the only composer to have collaborated with Cole Porter.   She’s written songs with many of the greats, including Carole King, Amanda McBroom, Shelby Lynn – and most recently, with my dear friend Melissa Manchester.

Harvey Brownstone conducts a second in-depth interview with Tony Orlando, Superstar Recording Artist and Entertainer 
About Harvey's guest: 
Today’s special guest, Louise Sorel, is a multi-award winning and beloved actress who’s been dazzling audiences for over 6 decades.   
Over the past 2 ½ years, we’ve had close to 300 guests on our show, and ALL of them have been an absolute pleasure to meet, and to interview.  But NO ONE has generated the intense emotional response, and overwhelming outpouring of love, that Tony Orlando created when he first appeared on our show a little while ago.    
Tony and I both believe that something magical happened during that interview, because what you were witnessing, was the realization, by a legendary artist, possibly for the first time, of the very significant impact his career has had within the entertainment industry, and for his fans.   You were also witnessing the creation - in real time - of a deep and powerful friendship – a bonding of two hearts.    
Both he and I were INUNDATED, not only with thousands of comments from fans expressing just how much that interview meant to them – but with an equal number of requests that we invite him back on our show to continue that very special conversation.    
In fact, a number of devoted Tony Orlando fans have sent me several pages of questions they would like me to ask him.  And I’m INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL that this BEAUTIFUL human being has agreed to, once again, take the time out of his very busy concert schedule, to appear on our show.    
And so, by popular demand, I am THRILLED and VERY HONOURED to welcome back to our show, my very dear friend, the SUPER FABULOUS Tony Orlando.

She first conquered Broadway in “Take Her, She’s Mine” opposite Art Carney.  Her other stage roles include “Lorenzo”, “Man and Boy”, which she did in London, and “The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window” on Broadway opposite Rita Moreno.  She also co-starred with George C.

On television, she’s guest starred in everything from “Dr. Kildare”, “The Fugitive” and “Bonanza”, to “Star Trek”, “Knots Landing”, “Law and Order” and “Sabrina the Teenage Witch”.  She even played Don Rickles’ wife on his 1972 sitcom.  And she’s starred in many TV movies including “The Return of Charlie Chan”, “The Mark of Zorro”, “A Masterpiece of Murder”, “Sunset Limousine” and “Mazes and Monsters”.   
But there’s NO QUESTION that our guest has become a LEGEND in the world of daytime drama – first as the eternally hopeless nosy meddling neighbour, “Augusta Wainright” on “Santa Barbara” - and then, as the strong willed District Attorney Judith Russell Sanders on “One Life to Live”, and then - in her most unforgettable role EVER - as the flashy, aggressive, cold and calculating evil family matriarch, “Vivian Alamain” in “Days of Our Lives”.  Her opulent, villainous, show-stopping performances on that show have won her 5 CONSECUTIVE Soap Opera Digest Awards, including "Outstanding Villainess", "Outstanding Showstopper" and TWICE for "Outstanding Scene Stealer".
