  • I loved this show when I lived in SF.

  • Joan has always been my favourite kennedy wife...

  • Sell out!

  • In the divorce between Ted and Joan Kennedy, what was the final say from the Catholic Church back then on Joan´s status? Because later on, Ted Kennedy married.

  • boring

  • I attended a live broadcast of "People Are Talking" in Boston around 1991, asked a question from the audience of that day's guest, who was actor/musician David Cassidy. I also plugged my own band's upcoming gig on the show.

    Later that day, in attendance at Cassidy's concert at a Boston nightclub, I was approached by several persons who had seen me on the TV show earlier that day. Danny Bonaduce, Cassidy's co-star on "The Partridge Family," was the opening act with his stand-up comedy.

  • Essentially, Chellis was the "story lady" who read aloud children's books as the camera panned over the pages (thus giving the illusion of movement), much as Bob Keeshan had innovated as "Captain Kangaroo" years before. Chellis also gave out information about each book's author and chatted (through the camera) to children in between each story's reading.

  • The guest here, Marcia Chellis, who was an assistant to Joan Kennedy (Senator Ted's first wife), had before that position been host of an instructional (for use in schools) TV program produced by WGBH in Boston & aired on public broadcasting (then NET, later PBS) stations called "Imagine That."

  • Yes, and in Boston Tom Bergeron ("America's Funniest Home Videos," "Dancing With The Stars") hosted "People Are Talking," after two female hosts before him--then-WBZ-TV (Channel 4) entertainment reporter Sharon King, and Nancy Merrill.

  • this is a wonderful interview, it's so insightful and the book was amazing, i couldn't put it down. it really gives insight into such a glorified family.
