On February 21, 2020, Linda Groundwater and I were guests on the radio program TV Confidential. We talked for over two hours with host Ed Robertson, who has been an avid and strong supporter of Bob Crane, and is an official endorser of Bob's nomination for induction into the National Radio Hall of Fame. Our interview was recorded and has been divided into three parts, all of which will be broadcast over several radio stations throughout the United States, Canada, and Brazil. Big thanks to Ed for this fantastic opportunity!
The following is taken from the TV Confidential website.
Joining us this week will be Carol Ford and Linda Groundwater, two of the co-authors (along with Dee Young) of Bob Crane: The Definitive Biography, a comprehensive, cradle-to-grave look at the life and career of the beloved Hogan’s Heroes star who was also one of the biggest stars in radio for more than a decade.
Hogan’s Heroes
aside, it has become nearly impossible to talk about Bob Crane without
also referencing either the brutal nature of his unsolved murder on June
29, 1978, or his addiction to sex and porn that became public knowledge
after his death. Indeed, the tabloid-like coverage of those two stories
has overshadowed the rest of Crane’s life and all that he accomplished.
Bob Crane: The Definitive Biography
attempts to set the record straight by providing readers with a full
and complete history of Crane was—and, just as important, who he wasn’t.
The book includes first-hand insight from more than two hundred people
who knew Bob Crane personally and better than most: family members; his
friends from Connecticut, including many who knew him as far back as
grade school; his colleagues from TV, the theatre, the movies, and,
above all, radio; and the addiction counselor whose help Crane sought in
an effort to overcome his addiction, in the weeks before he was killed.
Carol Ford and Linda Groundwater will join us in our first hour.
