My Classic Interview with CHRISTOPHER REEVE

We just launched this interview with Christopher Reeve over at billboggs.com, but I wanted you to have a sneak peek here. Enjoy.

TRASH TALK & Other Memorable Videos

We’ve launched five new videos over at billboggs.com including a lively debate: Ralph Nader and TV Critic Jeff Jarvis versus (yours truly) Bill Boggs and Maury Povich.

The topic is Trash Talk and the debate is moderated by Arthur Miller. If you're wondering what my connection to the subject was— I was Executive Producer of the Morton Downey Jr show.

Think you’ll find the subject as relevant today as it was when the show originally aired.

CLICK HERE to watch the video.

You’ll also find entertaining interviews with Frank Zappa, Gene Wilder, Christopher Reeve (See the video clip in my previous post.), and Holocaust Survivor Lilly Bloch.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Historic Interview with the late DINO DE LAURENTIIS

The legendary and prolific film producer Dino De Laurentiis passed away yesterday at age 91. The obit in the NY Times is a full half a page! My 1976 interview with him encapsulates much of his philosophy as a producer and also discusses one of his most expensive films, the remake of King Kong—including clips.
