Terry Moore Portrait

Here’s news that I am delighted to share.   At the 2016 REPS SHOWCASE,  REPS will be honoring screen legend Terry Moore.  We are planning a very special salute for this very classy and celebrated star on Sunday April 17th.   We plan  to feature thoughts and memories from friends, family and notable Hollywood personalities who worked with Terry in pictures and on radio.  Her notable radio work includes the Smiths of Hollywood, Mayor of the Town and she was also heard on Bob Hope, Family Theater and the Lux Radio Theater before making her way into pictures.

I learned this news just this afternoon.  Tony Dow who is best known for his role in the television sitcom Leave it to Beaver (1957 -1963) will be heading to Seattle this April to appear at the REPS SHOWCASE.   Tony is a long time friend of Beverly Washburn who will also be making the trip.  While Tony’s work in radio was very limited,  during his years in early television,  he worked along side many  young actors, directors and writers, who had spent many years working in the big time network radio shows.  Tony has a great appreciation for the Golden Days of Radio and is looking forward to making the trip to Seattle to help pay tribute to the classic shows of yesterday. Would Leave it to Beaver have made a good radio show?  We may have an opportunity to find out as plans are afoot to dramatize one of Tony’s favorite Leave it to Beaver episodes as a radio show.  You’ll have to be at SHOWCASE 2016 to see it.  Hope you can make it.
