概要

 In Part One of this candid and captivating two-part conversation, host Tony Miros sits down with two-time Emmy winner Bonnie Bartlett Daniels — best known as Ellen Craig on “St. Elsewhere” — for a fascinating journey through nearly a century of life in and around Hollywood.At 96, Bonnie is sharp, funny, and wonderfully outspoken. She shares how her memoir “Middle of the Rainbow” began as a screenplay years ago before being revived during the #MeToo movement, when she decided it was finally time to speak honestly about the way women were treated in the entertainment industry. As Bonnie puts it, “At my age, I’m entitled to say what I want.”The conversation travels back to her childhood in Illinois, where movie stars were her idols and theater was her dream. She recalls studying Method acting with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio — alongside classmates like Marilyn Monroe — and explains why she always saw herself as a character actor devoted to the craft rather than chasing glamour.Bonnie also reflects on performing live on the soap “Love of Life,” her move to Hollywood with husband William Daniels, and memorable experiences working on “Little House on the Prairie,” “Salem’s Lot,” “Ike,” and films like “The Last Tycoon” and “Primary Colors.” Along the way she shares behind-the-scenes stories about Robert Duvall, Robert Mitchum, Ed Flanders, and Larry Hagman — and recounts the moment she stood her ground during an uncomfortable scene in Blake Edwards’ “S.O.B.”It’s an honest, entertaining, and eye-opening look at classic Hollywood from someone who truly lived it — and this is only Part One.BONNIE BARTLETT DANIELSBonnie Bartlett Daniels is a two-time Emmy Award–winning actress whose career spans more than seven decades across television, film, and theater.
