Winner
of four Emmy Awards, including three for her portrayal of family matriarch
Olivia Walton on The Waltons,
the long-running CBS drama that was a Thursday night ritual for many of us every
week throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, Michael
Learned is also an accomplished stage actress who has
headlined many productions on and off Broadway, including Gore Vidal’s The
Best Man, the national tour of On Golden Pond, Wendy Wassserstein’s
The Sisters Rosenweig and Lewis Black’s One Slight Hitch. She
earned her fourth Emmy for her starring role as Mary Benjamin in Nurse,
and has also appeared in such films, miniseries and TV movies as For the
Love of Mary, Life During Wartime, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, Power, Roots:
The Gift and the Waltons reunion movies. 
Michael
Learned is currently starring, along with Granville van Dusen, in Southern Comforts, a romantic “opposites
attract” comedy about a Southern widow and a New Jersey widower who find love
late in life. Hailed by The New York Times as “a delightful and sneakily sexy romance,” Southern Comforts is playing at The Falcon Theatre in Burbank (818-955-8101; www.falcontheatre.com) through Sunday, Nov. 13.
We’ll talk about what attracted Michael to the play, her early background as an actress, her fondness for the theatre and, of course, The Waltons when she joins us in our second hour.
Also
joining us this week will be Beverley
Staunton, primary lead vocalist on ABC’s Dancing with the
Stars — a role that requires the kind of versatility that Beverley has shown
throughout her musical career, which has seen her perform with such artists as
Bette Midler, Michael Buble, Julio Iglesias, Barry Manilow, Kelly Clarkson,
Lionel Ritchie, Martina McBride, Dionne Warwick and James Taylor.
Beverley’s new CD, Everything Changes, is an upbeat collection of songs that showcases her musical style as a Country/Pop artist. We’ll talk about the CD, as well as go behind the scenes of Dancing with the Stars, when Beverley joins us at the bottom of our second hour.
Our
first hour will include a tribute to the late Pete Rugolo, the Emmy Award-winning composer and
arranger who wrote the theme music for such classic TV shows as Richard
Diamond, Private Detective, Thriller, Run for Your Life, Felony Squad and
The Fugitive. Though many of us think of Pete in terms of his TV
compositions, his subject of music in film and television
include such books as TV’s Biggest Hits: The Story of Television Themes from Dragnet to
Friends, which includes
comments from Jon’s interviews with Pete Rugolo and other great composers. We'll
also feature some of Pete's work in television as part of our bumper music
during our first hour.Also this week: Phil Gries with Part 2 of our look back of the early television career of Woody Allen, including rare audio of his appearances with Johnny Carson, Steve Allen and Merv Griffin. Allen’s life and career will be the subject of Seriously Funny: The Comic Art of Woody Allen, a two-part documentary that will air Nov. 20-21 on PBS.
