SUMMARY:Julia Child: Spy And Chef
DESCRIPTION:Julia Child: Spy And Chef\n \nIn 1963\, Julia Child became the first national superstar chef on TV! \nHer program “The French Chef” was so influential that the Smithsonian Institute features her kitchen\, intact\, as a permanent exhibit!  Julia Child changed how America thought about food\, became the first star of public broadcasting\, opened the doors for cooking on television\, and became one of the first and most essential faces of public broadcasting.  Quite a legacy for a woman who was neither French nor a chef! \n There was another long-secret side to Julia Child that she hid for many decades. \nIn 1943\, twenty years before her cooking and media skills became famous\, Julia Child served in America’s top-secret spy corps during World War II!  The fantastic Julia Child worked in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) – the predecessor to the Central Intelligence Agency! \n \nUtilizing a very high level of security clearance\, exceptional organizational skills\, and endless optimism and resourcefulness\, the former party girl from California served America as her nation.  She worked at the right hand of “Wild Bill” Donovan\, the head of America’s foreign spies!  Paul\, Julia Child\, moved from one dangerous overseas post to another with her husband\, serving our country before learning to cook. \n  \nThe daring story of Julia Child in the OSS is only one of the delights in this unique\, funny\, and fascinating multimedia presentation!  We will look at how she changed public television\, how America cooked and ate\, and had a lot of fun in everything she attempted! \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:I Love Lucy - The Amazing Life Of Lucille Ball
DESCRIPTION:“I Love Lucy” was a cultural phenomenon!! It was not only the most popular television show on the air during the mid-1950s\, but it also continued to make audiences laugh over 60 years after it first aired. Many consider it the funniest situation comedy of all time. \nHow widespread was the popularity of” I Love Lucy?” In her autobiography\, Lucille Ball told a charming story of being in Japan\, turning on the TV\, and seeing one of her favorite episodes of the show-dubbed in Japanese! \nIn the 1960s\, Lucy returned with a new show that also dominated the ratings for half a decade. \nBut behind the scenes\, Lucille Ball’s life was far from a comedy. Although she is well remembered for her kindness\, generosity\, and warmth\, she suffered through a very dysfunctional childhood. Her rebellious teenage years almost led her to disaster. Lucy’s marriage was controversial and challenging. Although she had built a solid career as a model and movie actress\, it wasn’t until the years of television that Lucille Ball became a superstar. \nIn this fascinating and fast-moving multimedia presentation\, we will examine Lucy’s life before and after “I Love Lucy.” Using many video clips\, fascinating biographical anecdotes\, and intriguing insights\, we will learn the real reason everyone should love Lucy. \n  \n

SUMMARY:David Letterman (AM)
DESCRIPTION:The Life and Career of David Letterman is a fast-paced\, funny\,  and engaging multimedia presentation exploring one of the most influential and original voices in the history of late-night television. From his early days as a weathercaster in Indiana to his breakout as a stand-up comic and guest host for Johnny Carson\, David Letterman redefined the genre with a style that was ironic\, unpredictable\, and completely his own. We’ll look at why Johnny Carson wanted Letterman to replace him as the permanent host on the Tonight Show and the fierce “Late Night Wars” between former friends\, David Letterman and Jay Leno. \nThis program traces Letterman’s rise through Late Night with David Letterman on NBC and his legendary run on The Late Show at CBS. Using rare video clips\, photos\, and behind-the-scenes stories\, we’ll highlight his groundbreaking comedy segments\, famous interviews\, and the cultural impact he made over more than three decades. Letterman’s influence can be seen in every host who came after him—from Conan O’Brien to Stephen Colbert. \nWhether you grew up watching him toss pencils\, drop objects off a five-story tower\, or trade barbs with celebrities\, this presentation offers a fresh look at a man who helped shape modern comedy. Join us as we celebrate the wit\, creativity\, and lasting legacy of David Letterman. \nCOST\nThe program is available for a minimum contribution of $5.00\, which helps support my work and allows me to continue offering engaging content. \nPAYMENT OPTIONS \nCash/Check\nPayable to: Barry Bradford\nMail to:\nBarry Bradford\nP.O.
