Listen now
Description
Today on Part Two of another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we continue our conversation with guest Peter Ackerman, son of actor Elinor Donahue & television executive Harry Ackerman. We covered a lot of ground on part one but on this episode, we dig deep into things like how insanely loyal Star Trek fans are as we discuss fan conventions and their lasting impact on both celebrities and attending fans. In fact, both Peter and host Josh Mills played the role of dutiful sons, chaperoning and being the ‘money person’ at celebrity conventions their mothers attended. It was a bonding moment. We also discuss forgotten Los Angeles restaurants, the Los Angeles Rams and how they connect to Bewitched, music videos from Peter Frampton and Aerosmith, the soap opera Days of Our Lives, the film Pretty Woman & Peter’s current career which might surprise you. We jammed a lot into this episode and the last one as well and Peter was a lively and willing participant to discuss his life, growing up the child of a celebrity. In fact, you can read more about it in his new book, Mom, Dad, Me, and Classic TV - Growing Up with Classic Television's Harry Ackerman and Elinor Donahue – out now! So get ready, here comes part two of our conversation with Peter Ackerman. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast and everyone has a story.
