PODCAST INTERVIEW
Today’s Guest: George Kennedy, Oscar winning performer, Cool Hand Luke, author, Trust Me
Mr. Media is recorded live in front of a studio audience of men who recall each line from Cool Hand Luke and The Naked Gun but can not recall their wife’s birthday… in the NEW new media capital of the world, St. Petersburg, Florida!

It’s simple to point out this George Kennedy, in a career spanning five years, worked with some of the greatest names in Hollywood history.
Paul Newman. Cary Grant. Kirk Douglas. Frank Sinatra. Leslie Nielsen. Bettie Davis. Clint Eastwood. John Wayne. Maggie Smith. Peter Ustinov. Carol Burnett. David Niven.
That is pretty cool, naturally, but having just finished his new novel, Trust Me: A Memoir, I recognize how lucky they had been to have worked using him.
GEORGE KENNEDY sound excerpt: “Ellen Barkin (who plays with Kennedy’s daughter in the film, ‘Another Happy Day’) is one of the miracles in life. She’s like Rocky Graziano in skirts.”
Currently in his mid-80s, ” Kennedy has illustrated a lot of iconic characters — Joe Patroni at the Airport movies, Captain Ed Hocken in The Naked Gun movies, Bumper Morgan in “The Blue Knight” TV series– also, obviously, he won Best Actress in a Supporting Role for playing “Dragline” in Cool Hand Luke in 1967 — so it’s likely to be as tough for me to understand where to start asking questions since it had been for him to arrange all of his tales in the book.
If you like a great Hollywood narrative, you will love reading Kennedy’s tales of shooting The Eiger Sanction with Eastwood or enduring from cheapness and meanness of John Derek on Bolero. He explains how he came to seem like Ellen Barkin’s dad in Another Happy Day, one this year’s hottest film festival indie releases.
Trust me: that is going to be a true treat.
