Celebrity Interviews

Today on The ProVision Brokerage Celebrity Segment, Eric Couch and Neil Haley will interview Don Most Of Happy Days.

As a child growing up in Brooklyn, NY, Don Most wanted to be just like the entertainers in his favorite film, The Jolson Story. While in junior high school, Don committed to the professional study of acting, singing, and dancing. At fifteen, Don got his first big break as part of a teenage musical revue that played the famous “Borscht-Belt” circuit of New York’s Catskill Mountains.

At age twenty, Don Most catapulted into the American zeitgeist when he won the role of Ralph Malph on the television pilot Happy Days. The role was originally a stock jock character. Director Jerry Paris and Executive Producer Garry Marshall were so charmed by Don’s charisma and natural comedic timing they reworked the part and transformed Ralph Malph into the beloved class comedian that won the hearts of America.

In the two decades following the success of Happy Days, Don continued to entertain and inspire audiences and earned critical acclaim in a long list of television and film roles. His film credits include EDtv, Crazy Mama, The Yankles, and The Great Buck Howard, starring John Malkovich. Don’s television roles include a recurring role in Glee, Men Of A Certain Age, Star Trek: Voyager, Sliders, Yes, Dear, The Crow, Sabrina, CHiPs, Baywatch, The Love Boat, Diagnosis: Murder, Century City, Dark Skies, and The Family Guy.

Today on The Provision Brokerage Celebrity Segment, Eric Couch and Neil Haley will interview Legendary actor Sam Waterston.

Who was the real Jay Gatsby? Could the inspiration behind F. Scott Fitzgerald’s literary masterpiece “The Great Gatsby” be found not in Long Island, New York as has long been believed, but in Westport, Connecticut? Presented by Vision Films and Against The Grain Productions, Robert Steven Williams’ Gatsby in Connecticut: The Untold Story challenges everything literary scholars have known about the story behind the classic novel with astonishing new evidence and in-depth interviews. Featuring Sam Waterston (1974’s The Great Gatsby, Law & Order, Grace and Frankie) and narrated by Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey, The Good Shepherd), Gatsby in Connecticut: The Untold Story will be available on DVD and streaming platforms on September 1, 2020.

Gatsby in Connecticut: The Untold Story was inspired by the 1996 New Yorker article by Barbara Probst Solomon, which unveiled her theory that the West Egg in Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” was not based on an actual place in Long Island, but rather Westport in Connecticut which held a special place in Scott and Zelda’s hearts. With this revelation, it seems as though the question of who the real Jay Gatsby was could finally be answered and the true eccentric millionaire behind the parties is just as intriguing as Fitzgerald’s hero. Williams’ film has shone a light on Probst’s article and with his extraordinary research and astounding discoveries has convinced and astounded Fitzgerald fans and scholars. Scott and Zelda’s granddaughter, Bobbie Lanahan, who also features in the film, is included in those who have been amazed at the findings.

Legendary actor Sam Waterston, who portrayed Nick Carraway in 1974’s The Great Gatsby, says “This film does an excellent job of capturing an important aspect of Westport’s literary history and it helps to establish the town’s rightful place in Fitzgerald’s legacy.”

Synopsis

“Initially I thought this was just a three-month project to document the Fitzgerald’s Westport period for the local historical society,” says director, Robert Steven Williams. “But as we dug deeper, we realized how important the Westport period was to both Scott and Zelda. Along the way, we uncovered academic secrets and a lawsuit to stop the leading Fitzgerald scholar from rewriting parts of Gatsby. Most important, we were able to bring to life an overlooked period of Scott and Zelda’s that had a profound impact on their lives including their art, the novels, their love.”

Gatsby in Connecticut: The Untold Story will be available on September 1, 2020, on DVD from all major online retailers and on digital for an SRP of $4.99 - $9.99 from platforms including iTunes, Vudu, Google Play, Xbox, Amazon, and FandangoNow, as well as cable affiliates everywhere.

The film acts as a companion piece with the book “Boats Against The Current”, written by Gatsby in Connecticut: The Untold Story’s executive producer, Richard ‘Deej’ Webb Jr. and featuring the foreword by Robert Steven Williams.

“The Path Of Leashed Resistance is a system I developed in response to a torrent of requests for how to stay in shape without going broke during the pandemic lockdown. For many of us, fitness is a vital part of our daily routine, not only for our physical well being, but also to maintain a healthy mental state. But with public gyms closed and the available workout equipment remaining priced in some cases over 500% of their typical value, a lot of people I know felt like their options were very limited.
