Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast encore edition, we are speaking with Gigi Garner, daughter of actor James Garner. Gigi was a fun interview to do because she spent so much time with her father both on camera and off. Yes she was on the set of The Rockford Files, yes we talk about her dad’s breakout role in Maverick which led to a very public and very personal lawsuit that Jim ultimately won, but also how they shared the camera in a Polaroid commercial, that was omnipresent in the 1980s.
We talk about Jim’s upbringing, his fantastic film career in movies like The Americanization of Emily, The Great Escape and Victor/Victoria as well as Gigi’s own career as a singer in the 70’s and 80s in the UK. And believe us, we’ve found some of those vinyl 7”’s on Discogs and Ebay and have been meaning to pull the trigger and having them shipped international for our personal collection. If that’s not all, Gigi tells us about her years as a skip tracer, tracking down criminals, something we did NOT expect to hear. Oh and we also talk about Gigi’s animal charities, something her father would fully support as well as her own artwork that is in galleries now.
It’s all right here, on this encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast. Take a listen.
