Star for an Hour

Today was my day to be interviewed for the centennial documentary for the City of Beverly Hills and the BH Historical Society.  My old school chums, Phil Savenick and Jeff White are handling the technical and creative areas of this endeavor.  BH Historical Society Vice-President, Kimberly Vinokur Reiss is handling logistics and scheduling.

It was a fun hour.  Phil is an excellent interviewer.  I talked about growing up in BH, living near Roxbury Park, a few of the old restaurants and buildings that are no longer here and more.  Phil is a veteran of this type of television.  I'm sure he and his crew will do an excellent job, pairing the interviews with vintage photos and archival footage of our fair city.  The documentary will be appearing online next year, during the 100 year anniversary of Beverly Hills.  Thanks for asking me to be a part of this event!
