He’s also worked on many other series and specials including “Who Do You Believe?”, “Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura”, “Guinness World Records Unleashed”, “Joe Rogan Questions Everything”, “TIME Presents: Celebrities on Trial”, “The Secret History of Rock 'n' Roll” with Gene Simmons, “All The Presidents’ Movies”, and “El Chapo & Sean Penn: Bungle in the Jungle”.

He’s an Emmy Award winning newswriter, and he served as managing editor and producer of the highly popular TV shows, “A Current Affair” and “Hard Copy”.
Our guest is also a highly acclaimed author. His first book, “Tabloid Baby” traces his instrumental role in the evolution of the tabloid television genre. He and Jeff Abraham then co-wrote “The Show Won't Go On: The Most Shocking, Bizarre, and Historic Deaths of Performers Onstage”. That book was followed by “Lawrence Tierney: Hollywood's Real-Life Tough Guy”.
And now he’s here to talk about his brand new book entitled, “Marlon Brando: Hollywood Rebel”, which canvases the profound and pervasive impact that Marlon Brando had, not only on the acting community, but on Western society and popular culture, because of his artistic and personal decisions.

Splendid interview!
That means the world to me. Greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!!
And the list continues. Being a huge Brando fan I can't wait to delve into this one. STELLA!!!!!! 😉
Yup. The list continues
Great interview.
Thank you so much!
Listen to the Studs Terkel interview with the big man on the hill from 1963. The best interview of any actor that I know of.
Will do. Thanks.
Great job as usual, Harvey. Brando is such a fascinating enigma. For every great performance, there are two in which you can tell he is just phoning it in. It got to the point where I would think "if he doesn't care, why should I?". Then I would watch The Godfather, Last Tango, or Streetcar again and remind myself why he was so great. By the way, there are some fascinating stories about Sasheen Littlefeather (sp?) Documenting how she was not a native American. Her family was not pleased with her.
I’m so happy you took the time to watch our show. That means everything to me. Thank you.
Fascinating interview Mr Brownstone. I'm a lifelong Brando fan, certainly as an actor but even more so as a human being. I really admire the fact that someone at that high level of fame and accomplishment and reward just don't take the easy way out by living only a cushy life. I'm not of the mindset that believes that the famous have no right to political or social activism, whether I agree with them or not. I just happened to agree with pretty much everything Marlon Brando espoused and stood up for. I'm not suggesting he was a perfect person, and who is? If you've never seen the Dick Cavett interview, it's really wonderful. Brando expresses if not his disdain for the acting profession, then his belief that it is of very little if any importance, and that he didn't even consider it "artistry." If I disagree with him about anything, it would be that. I worked for a friend years ago for quite a long time who also had worked in NYC for a famous furrier who knew and employed Brando pre-fame and had told my friend some interesting stories, (and showed him some candid photos of Brando that he said he would never get over) so I knew Brando was bisexual, and in all honesty I really don't care about that other than the fact that I missed out on it lol. Anyway, wonderful as always. P. S. I guess I shouldn't have written this before completing the video lol, because you clearly have seen the Dick Cavett interview.
You are such a special person. I so look forward to your feedback about our shows. Thank you so much for honoring me by commenting so compellingly on my interviews. ❤️
This was such an awesome interview, Harvey! I love all things Brando and this really fills the bill! Mr. Kearns book sounds fascinating and I will be reading it! Thanks for asking the best questions always!
Oh Alan I’m thrilled you enjoyed this interview. Burt’s book is really good. I think you will enjoy it
Brando was great. He tarnished his legacy when he mailed it in after godfather and last tango. A disgrace to acting and the amazing profession of acting.
Sadly, there’s a lot of truth to what you’ve said.
Brando was a kind of sociopath.
What kind? IDK.
Without the face, the head shape, the physique of his youth, none of the magic of his artistry would have been seen.
HE understood that.
He was as objectified as Marilyn Monroe was. He understood his physical attractiveness was his meal-ticket. He calculated his public adoration correctly and with that in mind.
He was VERY odd.
A narcissist who lectured others about their lack of caring…
His philosophies are for the illiterate.
How ‘bout we read MONTAIGNE and keep it separate from our porno stash?
Interesting perspective. Never thought of him that way but you definitely have a point. His physicality was definitely a huge part of his appeal. But he also was a great actor even when he was no longer attractive. Look at his performance in The Godfather. But still, his personality certainly was very off putting as he got older. Definitely narcissistic. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
@@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980 Years ago, I saw a publicity still of him for GUYS AND DOLLS where he had Jean Simmons on his lap. His grinning face looked so “Mr Hyde.”
I’ve thought of him as a rudderless, mentally ill man ever since.
