Television Academy: ‘The Interviews’
Since 2009, the Archive of American Television, a part of The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation, has integrated the text of the definitive Encyclopedia of Television, authored by the Museum of Broadcast Communications (MBC), into emmytvlegends.org. This collaboration enriches the site's vast collection by providing extensive additional details about interview subjects, including histories of popular series, key dates, and background information on performers, crew, and controversies.
EmmyTVLegends.org currently hosts a wealth of interviews with television's biggest stars, industry legends, and crucial behind-the-scenes figures. These include iconic personalities such as Alan Alda, Steven Bochco, Ed Bradley, Bob Carroll Jr. & Madelyn Pugh Davis (writers of I Love Lucy), Roy Christopher, Walter Cronkite, Sam Donaldson, Michael J. Fox, Larry Gelbart, Sharon Gless, Patricia Heaton, Sherman Hemsley, Ron Howard, Norman Lear, Bob Mackie, Sonia Manzano, Leonard Nimoy, Carroll O'Connor, Regis Philbin, Phylicia Rashad, Tim Russert, Jay Sandrich, Fred Silverman, Lesley Stahl, Jean Stapleton, Barbara Walters, and Henry Winkler.
