In this six-part (each 30-minute segment is posted separately) oral history interview, writer Lucille Kallen (1922-99) talks about her early years in the Catskills and her longtime association with her mentor, producer Max Liebman, who hired her on the early television variety show "Admiral Broadway Revue". She provides a truly unique perspective as the only woman writer for "Your Show of Shows", working alongside Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Sid Caesar, and her long-time writing partner Mel Tolkin. B-roll. This is part of a multi-part interview. For links to all online interviews, visit http://tvinterviewsarchive.blogspot.com
This was a great video for me. I actually got to SEE MY MOM in a still photo. She was a member of the cast & it was AMAZING (at 50+ yrs. of age) to see MY MOM...young & beautiful. I'm very proud of her!! THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!
