SPECIAL EPISODE: STRONGWRITER OFF THE CHART - - Today's episode features my interview with actress/singer/teacher ILENE GRAFF. She is a Grammy-nominated recording artist best known to audiences as Marsha Owens, the mom on the long running ABC comedy Mr. Belvedere. Some of the topics we discussed were Ilene's television, stage and singing career, her thoughts on auditions and her own acting roles, and the story of how she created a Grammy-nominated album with her husband, composer Ben Lanzarone. Also covered in the show as a public service: A unique and timely cause when Ilene, along with a handful of celebrities, took part in a campaign to help frontline health workers. Entrepreneur Meggie Jones and her company which produces Nutrient Body Soak (www.NutrientSoak.com) set out to donate $50,000 worth of her product and other requested essential items to frontline workers in New York. We continued on to talk about singing, which led to Ilene's wonderful workshops called MAKING THE SONG YOUR OWN. And finally we recap one December Saturday night where my wife and I attended the Ilene Graff Holiday Show. All in all, it was a real pleasure to meet and talk with this wonderfully talented entertainer. I know you'll enjoy it, too. Original airing April 22, 2020
