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:
