In this episode, Tony and Emmy Award winner Hal Linden tells fascinating and often hilarious stories of his immigrant family's background, his growing up in the Bronx, his mother’s kosher cooking, being a teen bandleader/musician in the Catskills just after WWII, and, with the death of the big band era, how he became an actor and singer. Splendid stories that ultimately lead to his illustrious career on Broadway and as the title character in the award-winning TV series “Barney Miller.” Don't forget to follow all of the social media! @Sarandon_Chris on Twitter @TheOfficialChrisSarandon on Instagram Chris Sarandon on Facebook www.chrissarandon.com linktr.ee/theofficialchrissarandon Subscribe on Youtube at https://youtube.com/shorts/-vGUyj0TK-Q#chrissarandon #foodpodcast #cookingpodcast #celebritycooking #recipes #spotify #jackskelington #frightnight #princessbride #dogdayafternoon #childsplay #nightmarebeforeschristmas #spotifypodcast #cookingbyheart #podcasthost #GreekAmerican #HalLinden #Nostolgia #BarneyMiller #OldSchoolTVShows #Broadway #BellsAreRinging #JacksPlace #TheBoysAreBack #BlackesMagic
