The Psychic Medium Spasoff Show With Dawn Wells from Gilligan's Island
With your Host with The Most Country Joe Van Peek and Richard Spasoff
There is so much more to Dawn Wells than Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island ! She is an actress, author, journalist, motivational speaker, adventurer, business woman, entrepreneur, teacher and president of her family foundation that focuses on helping women and children in Northern Nevada.
A fourth-generation Nevadan, Dawn was once Miss Nevada in the Miss America Pageant. Originally wanting to be a pediatric surgeon, Dawn enrolled in Stephens College, the esteemed women’s college in Columbia, Missouri where she has served on the Board of Trustees. After switching her major to acting, she transferred to the University of Washington, where she received her degree in theatre. Always proud of her heritage, it is especially gratifying for Dawn to have received (in 2009) Reno’s most prestigious award as one of Nevada’s outstanding entertainers. She was also presented with the 2009 Award for Outstanding Foundation of Northern Nevada for the Terry Lee Wells Foundation, whose focus is mainly on health, education, and the arts. Dawn is extremely proud of the work the foundation is doing for the Washoe County School District as well as the rural areas of Northern Nevada.
Dawn was part of the cast of Gilligan’s Island, the longest-running show in the history of television syndication and she received the most fan mail as Mary Ann. She starred in over 150 television shows, and has also graced a number of feature films, including Super Suckers, written, produced, directed and starring Jeff Daniels. She was also Co-Executive Producer of two of the highest rated CBS movies-of-the-week, Surviving Gilligan’s Island (in which she also starred and hosted) and Return to the Batcave. Dawn hosted a CBS show called TV’s All-Time Favorites, and was the “Castaway Correspondent” for Australia’s Midday program, interviewing such Hollywood legends as Tom Hanks, Eddie Murphy and Julia Roberts. She also hosted the red carpet at the academy awards for Australia’s channel 9 .
Besides producing and hosting the Children’s Miracle Network Telethon for fifteen years in mid-Missouri, she produced her own female fishing show in Canada titled Dawn Wells’ Reel Adventure; fly fishing all over the world. When she is not on-camera hosting or serving as a spokesperson in commercials, Dawn’s voice can be heard in numerous voice-overs and narration of which she is justifiably proud.
Dawn has appeared in over 70 theatrical productions ranging from Neil Simon to Tennessee Williams throughout North America and Canada. Theatre is her first love. Some of her favorite appearances include Fatal Attraction (with Ken Howard), Romantic Comedy (with David McCallum), Love Letters (with Adam West), The Vagina Monologues, The Tale of the Allergist Wife, The Odd Couple, The Little Foxes and Across the River and Through the Woods. She performed in the North American premiere of Laurence Roman’s Make Me a Match. On the musical side of things, Dawn toured in the national companies of They’re Playing Our Song and The Gilligan’s Island Musical (playing Mrs. Howell!), as well as Always Patsy Cline and Nutcrackers.
As Dawn is the author of the best-selling Mary Ann’s Gilligan’s Island Cookbook, it is no surprise that she appeared on the Food Network for an entire week as “Chef du Jour”! She has appeared on many talk shows, including NBC’s Today Show and five appearances on The Tonight Show as well as The View, Entertainment Tonight, CBS Morning News, and many more.
Miss Wells’ most exciting educational endeavor has been establishing the Dawn Wells’ Film Actors Boot Camp in Driggs, ID. For one week sessions during the summer, young actors were given intensive classes, learning the art of acting on camera as well as the business of the film industry. Her focus has been to encourage young artists through education, mentoring and hands-on experience. Dawn was also the founder and producer of the annual Spud Drive-In Family Film Festival at the historic Spud Drive-In Theatre in Driggs, ID.
Desiring to embrace world cultures, Dawn is an experienced world traveler, Circling the globe on the Concord, she experienced first-hand the diversity of women and children and captured much of what she saw with her own video camera. She has climbed the mountains of Rwanda to view the mountain gorillas and canoed the Solomon Islands where women had ever been before. Because of her world travels, Dawn has also become one of the country’s leading women motivational speakers, addressing the needs and the concerns of the American independent woman and the comparisons of cultures throughout the world. Her work has been recognized with the Outstanding Alumna award …Stephens College, Case Award for Education, the YMCA Woman of the Year, Outstanding Alumna for Alpha Chi Omega National Chapter and the American Icon Award…Women in Film and Video.

The Psychic Medium Spasoff Show with our guest star Johnathan Kraft
With your Host Country Joe Van Peek and Richard Spasoff and Jonathan Kraft founder of Keepers Of The Wild.
Please tune in, let's listen to our wonderful interview with Jonathan
In the early 90’s I decided to become a magician and pursue a career in show biz. It was an exciting time for me and I worked very hard in perfecting my skills and routine. Things were going so well that I decided to expand from an act to a complete show and incorporate wild animals in our magic.
So I bought two baby tigers in hindsight for all the wrong reasons. Then it began, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Raising two infant tigers is not an easy task. I fell in love with them and gave them the best of care. After about a year of intense training I realized that two small tigers were just not enough for a big Las Vegas production. So I started acquiring more animals; two more Bengal tigers, a Siberian tiger, a lion, a cougar, a couple of leopards and more. Now I really had my hands full.
Taking care of that many animals is a full time job, expensive and very challenging. By now I had developed a gentle way and great understanding with my cats. I believe in many ways they taught me how to work with them. As I got more involved in the business I saw how other animals were being treated by their handlers and trainers. I was appalled and realized that this is just not acceptable.
So I started rescuing animals while I was still in the business and before I became a sanctuary. Even though I had rescued the animals from horrible conditions they were still confined to cages. I continued my work with wild animals in movies, TV shows, commercials, documentaries, specials, and a variety of shoots and exhibits. I still did not really understand that animals need lots of space, freedom, and natural enrichment.
My first hand experience was that the mentality of many trainers including my own is that animals love to work and perform, this is a myth. The truth is performing animals sit in their cages at their holding facility or compound. They then are shifted into a small transport cage so they can be transported to the show or venue. The animals will be confined to that small transport cage for the duration of the trip and for hours backstage until it is their time to perform. Then they are loaded into a prop, an even smaller space, where they can sit and wait to magically appear, exhibited briefly and hustled off stage where the whole process is repeated in reverse. Back into their small transport cage, wait until the show is finished, transported back to their compound, offloaded into their holding cage where they sit and wait to do it all over again the next day. This is an undignified life for any animal. At times I looked into their eyes and what I saw was confusion, sadness, and stress. It made me sad.
Then something clicked. Finally I realized no matter how much love I have for my animals, no matter how well I took care of them, this is simply not a life for these beautiful creatures. One day Stephanie Powers, the great television and movie star, started to frequent my shows to watch me interact with my animals. I was performing 3 afternoon shows a day at the Aladdin Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. She was performing with Robert Wagner in the evening shows just down the street at the Desert Inn Hotel and Casino. We got to know each other and spoke about our love of animals and the rescuing I was doing. She made me aware of her involvement with the William Holden Foundation in Africa and the great work that the organization does with regards to preservation and conservation of wildlife. She truly encouraged me to seriously look into becoming a nonprofit organization and perhaps start up a sanctuary of my own. I took her advise and the rest is history. God Bless that day.
Keepers of the Wild is a 501(c)3 non profit organization dedicated to the protection of abused, neglected, abandoned and retired captive wildlife. To provide the best standard of care and help enforce the humane treatment of all animals.
The preservation and protection of wildlife and the environment is paramount in our goals.
Through education and public awareness we seek to alleviate all animals suffering and help eliminate use of wild animals as pets and their exploitation in show business.
Keepers of the Wild provides a permanent home and true sanctuary to all the animals it rescues
The Psychic Medium Spasoff Show with our Guest Star Reva Rose. With our Host With The Most Country Joe Van Peek, Richard Spasoff, Tara Conly & Richard "For Your Reading Session From 9:00pm-10:00pm PST"
Were looking forward to this exciting interview with Reva Rose. For the first hour from 8:00pm-9:00pm PST.
Well be speaking with Reva about her exciting life and career experinces.
She was Born and raised in Chicago, early in life, Reva Rose exhibited an interest in all things theatrical. The “die was cast”, when Reva’s mother, while working as a riveter in a defense plant during World War II, took part in a talent show to support our Troops. The sight of “Rosie the Riveter” as a chorus girl on stage in a hula skirt was all it took for a very young Reva to be bitten by the acting “bug”. From that point on, theatre became a driving force in her life.
Reva completed her education in Chicago, where she attended the Goodman School of Theatre, following such luminaries as Geri Page, Karl Malden, Sam Wanamaker and Steve McQueen. The pull of New York stage was strong and after two years of study and a couple of seasons of summer stock, Reva headed to the Big Apple.
In New York, Reva auditioned for and was accepted into Uta Hagen’s prestigious acting class and The Martha Graham School of Dance. Reva auditioned for everything and anything which meant plays, musicals, summer stock and the odd job needed to pay the rent. The hard work finally paid off when an Off Broadway production of TIME OF THE CUCKOO, produced by its author, Arthur Laurents, hired Reva. The show was a huge hit and among those that found their way downtown to view it was none other than Noel Coward, who promptly offered Reva a part in his next production, LOOK AFTER LULU, which he was bringing to Broadway. The French farce starred Roddy McDowell and Tammy Grimes and one of the leading roles went to Reva.
Soon after LOOK AFTER LULU, Reva came to the notice of June Havoc who was about to take TIME OF THE CUCKOO out as a summer package. Reva reprised her role and at the end of a wonderful summer followed June Havoc to California, resulting in TV work and a starring role in a TV pilot with Gertrude Berg. After this TV pilot, Reva headed back to New York, with a short pause in Chicago, which turned into a golden opportunity for her. The field of commercials was just opening to character actors and as luck would have it, Nestlé’s Quik hired Reva for a series of commercial spots that lasted for eight years.
Finally back to New York, a class with David Craig was yet another turning point in a career filled with them. The class taught actors the technique of actually auditioning for the musical theatre and this lead to the original Off Broadway production of YOU’RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN. Reva snagged the part of LUCY. History was made with Charlie Brown and more than a few careers along with it. During that theatre season, the biggest hit far and away both on and off Broadway was Charlie Brown with numerous awards being bestowed left and right. Reva personally won the Clarence Derwent Award and the Theatre World Award.
Hollywood came calling again, this time with an offer of a film that promised three months in Europe, bouncing from country to country in real time. The film was IF IT’S TUESDAY, THIS MUST BE BELGIUM, starring Suzanne Pleshette and Ian McShane and a large cast of mostly New York actors. Back in the U.S.A., Reva headed west again this time landing a TV series at Warner’s called TEMPERATURE’S RISING. Many guest star roles followed and then on to series regular roles on the hit TV series MARY HATMAN, MARY HARTMAN, THAT GIRL, LANNIGAN’S RABBI, LIFE WITH LUCY, ALICE and multiple roles on LOVE AMERICAN STYLE, GOMER PYLE, LOVE BOAT, the pilot for PROVIDENCE and an unsold pilot with Stephanie Zimbalist, HOUSECALLS, BUNNY O’HARE and the Mel Brooks hit feature SILENT MOVIE. Reva also appeared in a multitude of National commercials.
Some years ago, Reva traveled to India to adopt, as a single mother, a little girl named Emily, who was given to her by Mother Teresa in New Delhi. Reva also went on to adopt her two sons from India, Noel and Bill.
When Reva isn’t out doing her favorite things: auditioning and on-set acting, she can be found at the Santa Monica Airport taking flying lessons. She is also learning to play the piano.

The Psychic Medium Spasoff Show Feature guest James Torme,
son of the legendary entertainer Mel Torme, just released his new album, Love for Sale. The record covers classic jazz and pop songs from artists such as Michael Jackson and Cole Porter.
JAMES TORMÉ
Multi-Award winning E1 Music recording artist James Tormé is a uniquely gifted singer whose music infuses older jazz classics with soul and R&B influences of today. Tormé's magnetic relevance stems from the fact that he mixes the showmanship of his father's generation with the youthful charisma of a contemporary Hollywood star. Considering his roots, this shouldn't be too surprising. James comes from a professional show business family with household names on both sides of the Atlantic. His father, Mel, a legendary singer, was a 3-time Grammy Award winner whose songwriting credits include the most popular holiday song ever, “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire).” His mother, Janette Scott, and grandmother, Dame Thora Hird, are both celebrated British actresses. The young singer's music, which pays tribute to all corners of American music history, appeals to young and old audiences alike.
According to Tormé, a lot of what he is capable of has been absorbed through the “process of osmosis”, as well as a being traceable to his famous father's musical genes. As a child, James spent time with some of the greatest musicians in jazz history, such as Bing Crosby, Duke Ellington, Sammy Davis Jr., Buddy Rich and Ella Fitzgerald. And Tormé had other advantages. Countless flights between his mother's native London and his father's home in Los Angeles allowed him to spend vast amounts of time listening to both his father's music and current pop songs from the UK and US music scenes. This had a more than marginal impact on his early childhood musical development, “Mum bought me Michael Jackson's album Off The Wall when I was 6, and I was totally done for. And my Dad would make tapes for me of any new music he thought I should be getting into.” Tormé notes, “He was impressing musical tastes and ideas on me from very early on [in my life] and I’m endlessly grateful for that.”
James' initial foray into performing found him headlining a residency at the Viper Room in L.A. The standing-room-only shows would have served as a perfect stepping stone towards the Pop/R&B singing career James was planning, but all that changed when James performed a cappella renditions of the jazz classic “’Round Midnight” as an encore number. “The responses to that song changed the course of my career”, says Tormé. “I wanted to leave this musical legacy to my own generation and realized it was my destiny to do that during those early shows in L.A. No question about it.” And the rest is history.
Having grown up constantly witnessing the rigors of show business, James entered the music scene already understanding the enormous level of personal commitment required for success. Now performing with major symphony orchestras at top venues all over the world, James explains, “I've felt an undeniable sense of destiny about singing since I was very young. I'm so proud to be fulfilling that, and thankful for the opportunity to carry the torch for my dad's generation, and this kind of music.”
James Tormé's debut album Love For Sale is available in stores and online. .
The Psychic Medium Spasoff Show with guest star Sonny Turner is an legendary entertainer Singer for the musical group Platters.

You can hear Sonny's voice in various movies such as "The Nutty Professor II" starring Eddie Murphy. "Hearts in Atlantis" starring Anthony Hopkins and "Prince of the City" starring Robert DiNiro.
There are only two surviving members of The Platters still alive today that can be heard on the hundreds of recordings and hit records that made The Platters one of the most successful vocal groups of all time.

The Psychic Medium Spasoff Show with guest star Stan Livington. He's a nationally known actor from My Three Sons
We will be touching base on topics like "THE ACTOR'S JOURNEY", and his feelings and experiences within his 5o year span in show business. This will be a fantastic show!!
STANLEY LIVINGSTON, can already boast a career of fifty-five years in the entertainment industry - including a phenomenal twelve year run as "CHIP DOUGLAS" on one of television's most popular and durable series, MY THREE SONS.
The series is television's second-longest running situation-comedy and has been broadcast for 50 years!
The show debuted in 1960 and ran through 1972
Following its prime time run, My Three Sons immediately went
into syndication where it aired daily for the next thirteen years.
In 1985, NICKELODEON began airing the vintage black and white episodes of My Three Sons several times a day. The show became a hit with a whole new younger generation.
MY THREE SON helped launch the TV LAND network in 1995. MY THREE SONS has also aired on THE FAMILY CHANNEL, THE FAMILY NET CHANNEL, as well as HALLMARK'S - THE ODYSSEY CHANNEL.
MY THREE SONS is seen internationally in Japan, Australia,
New Zealand and in many countries in Europe.
We will also be talking about "The Actors Journey"
"THE ACTOR'S JOURNEY" and "THE ACTOR'S JOURNEY for KIDS" DVD Programs are taught by 100 DISTINGUISHED ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY PROS - each with over 25 years of hard-earned experience. Appearing on camera are Directors, Executive Producers, Show Runners, Producers, Casting Directors, Talent Agents, Talent Managers - an amazing cross-section of highly recognizable actors - as well as the Presidents of the two most powerful unions in the motion picture industry: THE SCREEN ACTOR'S GUILD and THE DIRECTOR'S GUILD of AMERICA.
Over thirty-five of the industry pros appearing on-screen in both programs have been nominated for - or won - Academy, Emmy, Golden Globe, C.L.I.O. - and other prestigious industry awards!
THE ACTOR'S JOURNEY PROJECT is endorsed by leading members of THE SCREEN ACTOR'S GUILD, THE AMERICAN FEDERATION of TELEVISION AND RADIO ARTISTS, ACTOR'S EQUITY ASSOCIATION, THE DIRECTOR'S GUILD of AMERICA, THE PRODUCERS GUILD of AMERICA as well as THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.
"THE ACTOR'S JOURNEY" and "THE ACTOR'S JOURNEY for KIDS" are the quintessential education programs on THE BUSINESS AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT ASPECTS OF AN ACTING CAREER. This project was created because the colleges, junior colleges, universities and private academies that teach students the "art and craft of acting" and "performance skills" DO NOT teach actors the basic and advanced BUSINESS SKILLS required to break into the industry, launch and sustain viable careers. THE ACTOR'S JOURNEY PROJECT is the ultimate education vehicle because it allows the "experienced" generation of industry pros to impart a lifetime of information, experience, insight and guidance to the "new" generation of actors and performers. Imagine knowing everything about the entertainment industry and the business of acting BEFORE you start. NOW YOU CAN! This program is changing the way actors everywhere go about breaking into the industry and establishing sustainable careers.

Over the course of his research he was able to confirm EVP was not related to sound by the use of a Bell Jar, a vacuum pump, a Shure dynamic microphone and a TEAC A-4010S Reel to Reel recorder. Due to several encounters of a very negative nature from 1985-87, he made the decision to concentrate on the scientific research concerning the phenomena, and not the metaphysical aspects of the events. In 1992 David formed a new organization, Scientific Paranormal Investigative Research Information and Technology (S.P.I.R.I.T.), and began a long and painstaking process of collecting, building and focusing a battery of hi-tech instrumentation to concentrate on laboratory and field experimentation to search for the cause of paranormal phenomena. By 1998 his focus of research had narrowed to phenomena specific to “Hauntings”.
His primary focus since 1998 has been EVP research, employing his background of audio engineering and psychoacoustics. In 2005 David successfully linked electromagnetic fields as the primary source of EVPs. In 2010 he discovered that paranormal related EMF was an emergent phenomenon. He continues to look for answers in science for paranormal phenomena.
David's additional areas of research includes investigating the relationship between free air conductance, magnetic fields, radioactive emissions, electromagnetic fields and other electrical radiation surrounding paranormal phenomena. He is also experimenting with injecting energy into a paranormal event horizon using Tesla Coil technology in order to observe and record the effects. He continues to measure the effects of massive ion bombardment in a paranormal environment. He is developing a device designed to capture and analyze the phenomena referred to as orbs in order to either prove or dismiss their existence. David is also experimenting with a self designed ITC (Interdimensional Trans-Communications) device using electromagnetic field propagation as a medium of cross communication. He is also studying the environmental effects surrounding mediums and psychics when they are active in their work.
David is a board member of the Professional Society for the Advancement of Paranormal Research and is currently serving as Acting Executive Director. He is the Director of the S.P.I.R.I.T. Laboratory, Co-Director of New Jersey Paranormal Resource Group, Co-Founder of New Jersey Paranormal Investigative Coalition, a professional member of the Rhine Research Center, life member of the New Jersey Ghost Hunter’s Society, member of the International Paranormal Investigators, and a member of the International Paranormal Research Association. He is also a consultant for Paranexus Anomalous Research, Inc. He is a member of numerous paranormal organizations and groups.
David was featured on Comcast Newsmakers in 2006.

The Psychic Medium Spasoff Show with guest star Don Grady.
..but wait, isn't Don that actor from My Three Sons? Well, yes, Robbie Douglas is alive and well and here on Achieve Radio..
With your Host with the most Richard Spasoff
Don Agrati (born June 8, 1944, in San Diego, California), better known as Don Grady, is an American composer, musician and actor. He is remembered both as one of Mickey Mouse's original Mouseketeers, and as Robbie Douglas, from My Three Sons. His sister was also an actress, billed as Lani O'Grady. Their mother was a talent agent, known as Mary Grady.
Grady grew up in Lafayette, California, and attended Lafayette Elementary School (where he served as school president and Stanley Junior High, where he spent only a few months before being signed by Disney and leaving the area.
His acting credits include several Western series, including John Payne's The Restless Gun, Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theater, Wagon Train and The Rifleman as well as the NBC medical drama, The Eleventh Hour. Originally the frustrated middle brother on My Three Sons, he became the confident elder brother with the departure of Mike (Tim Considine, who had earlier appeared with Grady in The New Adventures of Spin and Marty), and the adoption of Ernie (Barry Livingston), who became the new "third son."
During production of My Three Sons, Grady both appeared with his own band The Greefs on the series, and was the drummer for The Yellow Balloon, whose self-titled song became a minor hit during 1967. Record producer Laramy Smith recorded Grady's performance of "Just Happens To Be Fun", which appeared on Canterbury Records. Also on Canterbury, he fronted the Windupwatchband on the sunshine pop single, "The Children Of Saint Monica", which reached #132 nationally. For a while during the run of the series, he attended Los Angeles City College.
After My Three Sons ended in 1972, Grady pursued a musical career. His works include music for the Blake Edwards comedy film Switch, the theme song for The Phil Donahue Show[1] and for EFX, a Las Vegas multimedia stage show which starred Michael Crawford, David Cassidy, Tommy Tune and Rick Springfield.
In the fall of 2008, Grady released Boomer: JazRokPop, a collection of songs written for and about the baby boomer generation. Boomer is his first original album as an artist since Homegrown was released by Elektra Records in 1973.
Grady married his wife Ginny in 1985, having met her at Disneyland. The couple has two children, Joey and Tessa.

About Dr. Iseman
Licensed physician and professional comedian who shares his "prescription for laughs"
Honors graduate of Princeton University and the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons
Co-host of the Style Network's hit show, "Clean House"
Regularly entertaining medical professionals with the skills of a professional comedian and the experience of a medical doctor, Dr. Matt Iseman finds humor in an industry that too often forgets the importance of laughter.
An honors graduate of Princeton University and the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, Dr. Iseman headed home to the University of Colorado for a residency in Internal Medicine. Now based out of Los Angeles, he is a licensed physician and a professional comedian who captivates audiences from all walks of life with his hilarious presentations that revolve around his real-life experiences as a physician.
Combining an energetic, charismatic stage presence with incisive material, Dr. Iseman skewers topics from lunchtime conferences on morbidity and mortality to "pager duels" to malpractice woes. Always hilarious and ever respectful of the profession, he has performed for hospital meetings, medical conferences and pharmaceutical company events from coast to coast, reminding healthcare professionals that, while laughter may not cure diseases, it can make them a little less painful.
Audiences may recognize Dr. Iseman as the host of "Sports Soup," an original series on the Versus channel that takes an irreverent look at the state of sports and the people who play and report on them. Dr. Iseman also appears as the GoTo Guy on The Style Network's top show, "Clean House." He's hosted "Casino Night" and the National Vocabulary Championships on the Game Show Network, as well as "Scream Play" on E! Entertainment Television. Building on his improvisational background with The Groundlings in Los Angeles, Dr. Iseman has appeared in numerous national commercials and television shows, including "NCIS," "Courting Alex," "The Drew Carey Show," and "Mad TV," as well as the daytime drama, "General Hospital." Recently he appeared once again on Fox News' "Red Eye."
After being selected as one of only ten comedians in the nation to perform at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, Dr. Iseman decided to take his comedy around the world. Following an overwhelming response to two sold-out USO shows at Kunsan Air Force Base in Kunsan, Korea, he was invited to headline a tour throughout Europe in March 2003, hitting 15 bases in 18 days. Dr. Iseman has since returned overseas to entertain troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Hungary, and he continues to headline major comedy clubs across the United States.

With your Host Richard Spasoff and special guest Marty Allen and Karen Kate Blackwell
Lets listen to what Marty and Karen have to say about their Comedy and Music.
After 8:35pm tonight, I will be taking complimentary readings.
Marty was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the son of Louis and Elsie Allen. His father owned a restaurant-bar. Marty grew up in an atmosphere of love and security. He found he enjoyed making people laugh and soon started dreaming{HELLO DERE!!!}
about a career in show business. Marty often entertained his friends at parties. "I would break it up by doing record pantomimes and impressions," he recalled.
He graduated from Alderdice High School during World War 11, so he immediately joined the Air Force. He was stationed in Italy where he attained the rank of sergeant and earned a Soldier's Medal Of Valor. Marty was on guard duty while a plane was being refueled. Suddenly sparks set off a fire in the plane. Marty saw the potential for disaster and jumped into the cab of the fuel truck and drove it away, preventing an explosion. He then raced back to the plane, crawled into the bomb bay and rolled on the flames to extinguish the fire. In addition to the medal, his heroism earned him a full-dress parade.
After the war, Marty attended the University of Southern California where he studied journalism,. "I like to write, and I wanted to be a reporter so I could trenchcoat," he explained. He was still doing a comedy act in the small clubs, but to supplement his GI bill allotment, he hit on a novel idea. He became the first door-to-door dance salesman.
"I got the idea that women would love to learn to dance or just dance for the fun of it during their work day. So, for $10 a half-hour, I'd arrive at their door with a record player and records and we'd dance," he said. "I finally had to give it up. I was visiting 15 clients a day! It was costing me a fortune in new shoes and foot powder."
While working in the nightclubs, Marty polished his many comedy routines and developed a first-rate act. Eventually, the job offers he received became too lucrative for him to remain in college. He began to travel all over the country gaining experience and popularity. He did return to California briefly, to perform as the rear end of a dancing horse. "To this day, I still can't believe I actually had to audition for that job," Marty said.
During the 1950s, Marty worked in many of the top nightclubs in the country as opening act for established stars such as Sarah Vaughan, Eydie Gorme and many others, including the legendary Nat "King" Cole. It was during this time that he became part of the great comedy team of Allen & Rossi.

In the early 90’s I decided to become a magician and pursue a career in show biz. It was an exciting time for me and I worked very hard in perfecting my skills and routine. Things were going so well that I decided to expand from an act to a complete show and incorporate wild animals in our magic. 
She was Born and raised in Chicago, early in life, Reva Rose exhibited an interest in all things theatrical. The “die was cast”, when Reva’s mother, while working as a riveter in a defense plant during World War II, took part in a talent show to support our Troops. The sight of “Rosie the Riveter” as a chorus girl on stage in a hula skirt was all it took for a very young Reva to be bitten by the acting “bug”. From that point on, theatre became a driving force in her life.
