Hi, I'm Gilbert Gottfried, Mrs. Gilbert Gottfried's amazing colossal podcast.

I'm here with my co-host Frank Santopidre and we're once again recording at Nutmeg with our

engineer, Frank Ferdarosa.

Our guest this week is a legendary Hollywood press agent who broke into the business at

the tender age of 19 and within two years found himself working alongside luminaries like

Gary Cooper, Marisha Valier, Audrey Hepburn and Billy Wilder in his six decade career.

He worked with, befriended and influenced the careers of well over 500 performers including

Paul Newman, Bob Raskryzen, Jean Hackman, James Mason, Maximilian Schell, Elizabeth Taylor,

Peter Eustonov, Clint Eastwood, both Kirk and Michael Douglas and Gary Grant.

He is also credited with inventing the Oscar screener, bringing well-deserved attention

to films like Annie Hall and the Conversation.

In addition, he's worked on publicity campaigns for dozens of historic movies including Bonnie

and Clyde, Spartacus, American Graffiti, the French connection, the China Syndrome,

Shampoo, the In laws, Heaven Can Wait, Brazil, one flow over the Ku Kus Nest and the Artist.

He's also a produced screenwriter of the films Back Door to Hell, A Touch of Scandal and

Passion Flower, writing for actors such as Jack Nicholson, Richard Harris, James Earl

Jones and Christopher Plummer.

His terrific new memoir is called Star Flaker, Inside the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Please welcome to the show An Eyewitness to Show His Greatest Era and a man who once

shared a limo with Warren, Beatty and Georgie Jeffsold.

Dick Guttenham.

Oh, thank you so much.
