He was quite a talented and prolific writer. How fortunate for us. 💗

A big THANK YOU to PatriciaAnne who took the time to research and list all of Earl’s work. Although, there are probably tons of radio shows Earl wrote in the 1940’s. Wouldn’t it be great to find that list? But surely, I will enjoy seeking out many on PatriciaAnne’s list!

Oh I can't take credit for that lovely, long list. Someone else posted it. 😉

^ And there wasn't even any research or compilation in the lists. They were copied and pasted from the 2 online IMDb and Wiki pages listed in the original post. The lists were virtually complete. There really wasn't much left to add to them. This thread is really for reference only and not so much open to discussion.

[flossieskid]

Color me embarrassed! You’d think I would be VERY familiar with all the correct information on IMDB - having BOTH my parents represented quite thoroughly! But, alas, I really forgot many of my parents’ movie and TV performances. Of course, Earl’s lengthy IMDB pages are impressive! I applaud PatriciaAnne for her honesty - your parents raised you well!

It might be a good idea for me to research my parents’ pages. I just enjoy the residuals and question nothing. For decades, I have received a residual for “Coogan’s Bluff”, having no idea what the heck it is or whether my Mom or Dad appeared in it. Then, recently I was telling my cousin about the most remarkable week I had - meeting Jane Fonda and Clint Eastwood in the same week! Those stories will be in my book. My cousin asked me if I told Clint Eastwood my Dad was in “Coogan’s Bluff” which Clint starred in years ago? What?!? I never knew that or forgot I did!

Ahhh, just another day in Hollywood……..

You should rest easy. I don't think ANY OF US know EVERYTHING that our parents did during their lives. Enjoy the blessings...and the residuals, too!!

How fun it would be if I had a repository of info to research somewhere that highlighted my father's career. Let's see, there would be drug busts, protests/riots, NYC parades and marathons, presidential motorcades. But, alas, no such database exists, so I have to rely on my memory of all the stories he told me. Tracey, did you know William Friedkin? (Hopefully I spelled it correctly.) My father had to provide NYPD support when they were filming Cruising in the city. Friedkin was the director, and from what I recall, not particularly nice.

[flossieskid]

Yes PatriciaAnne, I am very familiar with the work of the renowned film director, William Friedkin. He directed some very famous movies such as “The Exorcist”, “The French Connection“ and others. He just died this past August.

He was married three times and his last wife was Sherry Lansing, who was the first woman president of a major motion picture studio – Paramount. When I worked for The Hollywood Entertainment Museum it was on Paramount’s lot when Sherry was the president there. When we were having a huge fundraiser, we invited Sherry Lansing to be one of our special guests. It was my job to greet our celebrities and attend to those guests. I was very lucky to spend most of the night with Sherry, as well as another important guest, Debbie Reynolds. They both were totally delightful!

I, too, had heard unflattering things about William Friedkin, but I think the love of his devoted wife for, so many years, softened him and he did not seem to approach his final projects in such an unpleasant way.

flossieskid One of the funny stories my father used to tell was about him. Apparently, during the filming of Cruising in the Village, he really broke my father's chops while my father was providing police support and keeping the protesters in check. Of course, back then protesters were a lot more respectful than they are now, but I digress.

Finally filming was over and the movie was about to premiere in mid-town. The precinct commander of the local precinct was concerned about more protests and asked my father if he could send some men uptown since they were already familiar with the protesters, having dealt with them during the filming. My father did just that and also went uptown himself. When the movie ended and everyone was leaving, Friedkin saw my father and came up to him. "Hello, Captain," he said. "I guess I gave you a pretty hard time while we were filming, didn't I?" "I guess you did," my father responded. To which Friedkin announced, "Well, you know what -- I really don't give a s$%#!" My father, the quick-witted Irishman who was never at a loss for words, replied with " Well, isn't that funny. Because Gene Shalit, the movie critic just walked by and said your movie is a stinkbomb and ***I*** don't give a s$%#!" 🤣🤣🤣

And it truly was a stink bomb. Got panned by the critics and generally not considered very good. Although I think over time it's become one of those cult favorites.

Another funny story involved Lauren Hutton, if I remember correctly. She would come by the precinct to complain to my father about the cops parking on her block. He'd invite her into his office and offer her tea (my father didn't drink coffee so he had an ample supply of tea bags he brought from home with a burner to boil water on). He told me at the end of the conversation she said, "Well, you didn't solve my problem but at least I had a nice cup of tea." 😄

PatriciaAnne - loved the stories about your Dad! I can tell he was an no-nonsense Irishman! They tell it like it is, and take no gruff from anyone! But, it sounds like your father handled his authority and responsibilities with conviction and great humor! Sounds like you are your father’s daughter - he would be proud! What wonderful memories for you!
