Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: JAMES ROSIN, actor, author, and the publisher of Classic TV Series Books, on the tremendous responsibility that actor NEHEMIAH PERSOFF always took to both his craft (whether performing for film, TV, or the stage) and to the Jewish people, all throughout his life and career, and how Persoff created a new career for himself as a painter and sketch artist over the past three decades. Jim has just published Nick’s memoirs, THE MANY FACES OF NEHEMIAH, a few weeks after Persoff celebrated his 102nd birthday. THE MANY FACES OF NEHEMIAH is available through ClassicTVSeriesBooks.com and Amazon.com. Jim Rosin will be appearing at the Williamsburg Nostalgia Fest in Williamsburg, VA on Thursday 11/11 thru Saturday 11/13

Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: The Reverend Steve Pieters on how he overcame two forms of cancer and a nearly fatal reaction to the experimental AIDS drug suramin in 1985 by developing his own wellness program (which included healthy dosages of I LOVE LUCY every day); how the fear and paranoia surrounding COVID-19 today is not unlike the stigma he faced in the 1980s when he was first diagnosed with HIV/AIDS; and how the television interview he gave to evangelist Tammy Faye Bakker in 1985 changed his life, and hers as well. Steve’s interview with Bakker is part of the backdrop of THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE, a new film starring Jessica Chastain that opens nationally on Friday 9/17
