Today on part two of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Peter Ackerman, son of actress Elinor Donohue and TV executive Harry Ackerman. On this episode, we focus on Peter’s mother Elinor Donohue and discuss everything from the Ray Court’s memorabilia shows as well as the Star Trek memorabilia shows she appeared at and the role Peter played at those events. Of course we do talk about Peter’s dad Harry Ackerman, a television executive who developed shows like I Love Lucy, Gidget, Bewitched, Hazel, Gunsmoke and a ton of others.
Along the way we talk about all things Ackerman, everything from Aerosmith to “Days of Our Lives”, the mandate from Robert Young that meant no kids on set, the coolness of Peter Frampton, a t-shirt for John Candy, the pattern of a Garry Marshall script and much more. Oh and one more thing, we left a little Easter Egg till the very end so make sure you listen to the entire episode. It’s all next on the Rarified Heir Podcast.
