    Subject:  Ray Bradbury @ SPERDVAC/Corwin

    In case it hasn't been mentioned on here (I've missed some emails),
    Ray Bradbury appeared at a SPERDVAC convention (late '80s perhaps),
    and his OTR recollections would be archived on film and/or tape for
    those interested.

    A little known fact is that Ray and Stan Freberg provided ambient
    crowd noises (from their seats in the audience) for the 1996 public
    radio production of their mutual friend Norman Corwin's "No Love
    Lost," at the request of the author.

    Subject:  Walter Tetley

    A friend and I have been discussing Walter Tetley's height. Some people
    have described him as being really short, but in viewing the movie
    Gildersleeve on Broadway, he doesn't look much shorter than Richard
    LeGrand, who's about the same height as Hal Peary. Any body know how
    tall Tetley was? And is there an existing audio or video interview with
    him?

    Subject:  Bradbury and Corwin

    With the recent passings of Ray Bradbury and Norman Corwin I was
    reminded of an interview they did together.  It was on the KPFK (Los
    Angeles) science fiction show, Hour 25.  It was broadcast, live, March
    31, 1989.  The host of the show was J. Michael Straczynski.  The show
    was 2 hours hours and their interview is 1 hour 38 minutes.  I encoded
    the interview from audio tape and and have temporarily placed it on my
    web site:
