“Arf! Arf!” “What's that, Girl? Timmy's in the well!!?” We speak fluent Collie and Timmy got into plenty of trouble but he never fell into a well. What Lassie is trying to tell you there is that “Timmy,” Jon Provost, is doing very well. He's an animal rights activist who has just launched a CBD spray to help calm pets and, along with his wife, Laurie Jacobson, he's written a book chronicling his phenomenal show-biz history, including films with Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, Jane Wyman, Robert Redford, Natalie Wood, William Holden, Clinton Eastwood and Kurt Russell. Jon spent seven years working on Lassie and June Lockhart before graduating as a bona fide teen idol and exploring all of the iconic haunts along the Sunset Strip with Davy Jones, David Cassidy and Sajid Kahn!The book is, naturally, titled Timmy's In The Well and along with Jon's acting history, it also explores what happens to a family when one kid becomes world famous. Jon's wife Laurie joins us with insights into exactly that as well as intrigue on Hollywood's hidden history and a peek into her next book about The Sunset Strip.We leave no stone unturned and no well un-excavated as we trace Jon's start back to his mother's love for Jane Wyman which compelled her to bring her 3-year-old son to a cattle-call audition for the role of Sterling Hayden and Jane Wyman's little boy in 1953's So Big. Out of a sea of hundreds, Jon won the part.From there, we go behind the Lassie scenes with Jon as he warmly remembers his relationship with the world's most beloved dog and her trainer, Rudd Weatherwax. (Actually, his trainer. Lassie was always played by a male dog.) Jon and Lassie travelled the country on promotional tours and along the way, they grand marshaled parades, hosted charity events and visited children's hospital, inspiring Jon towards a lifetime of charity work and public service.Jon also reflects on his personal struggles with dyslexia, school bullies, finding himself as he came of age and how a conversation with Kurt Russell on the set of 'The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes' convinced him it was time to take a much-needed break from the business.Plus, Laurie and Jon share their “How Did You Meet” story. It happened at an autograph show where Laurie came over to his booth to chat with Stanley Livingston. Lassie having taught Jon well in the art of non-verbal communication, Jon kicked Stan under the table which is code for, “What the heck, Stan!? Introduce me to this lovely woman!” All that plus Weezy and Fritz are recommending Hollywood Con Queen and Sugar, both on Apple TV+.Path Points of Interest:Jon ProvostTimmy's In The Well by Jon Provost & Laurie JacobsonJon Provost on WikipediaJon Provost on FacebookLaurie JacobsonLaurie Jacobson's Amazon Author PageLaurie Jacobson on InstagramProvost Pet SprayMuttvilleHollywood Con Queen on Apple +Sugar on Apple +

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Laurie Jacobson, Hollywood Historian & Author, “Top of the Mountain: The Beatles at Shea Stadium 1965” About Harvey's guest: Today's guest, Laurie Jacobson, is a celebrated author and leading Hollywood historian, whose books are a real treasure trove for lovers of show business history. Her first book is, “Hollywood Heartbreak: The Tragic and Mysterious Deaths of Hollywood's Most Remarkable Legends”. It gives a 75-year history of Hollywood, told through the lives and deaths of some of its greatest stars. Her next book was the immensely popular “Hollywood Haunted: A Ghostly Tour of Filmland”, covering more than 100 years of grizzly events in Hollywood. Next came “Dishing Hollywood: The Real Scoop on Tinseltown's Most Notorious Scandals”, a delicious book that spills the beans on 43 Tinseltown scandals – with fitting recipes connected to each story. Then came “Timmy's in the Well: the Jon Provost Story”, co-written with her husband, Jon Provost, who played “Timmy” on the original beloved TV series, “Lassie”. That book was followed by “TV Dinners: 40 Classic TV Kid Stars Dish Up Favorite Recipes With a Side of Memories”, featuring recollections and favourite dishes from 40 of the most popular child stars of the 50s, 60s and 70s. And most recently, she's just released her latest book, “Top of the Mountain: The Beatles at Shea Stadium 1965”, which takes us back to that monumentally ground-breaking concert, which changed the trajectory not only of the Beatles' career, but of the entire pop music industry. No band had EVER played at a baseball stadium. But the Beatles sold out Shea Stadium, shattering all box office records in show business history, with a staggering 56,000 screaming fans in attendance. The book is packed with hundreds of never-before-seen photos, and dozens of interviews with people who were there, including celebrities, opening act performers, media personnel, agents, producers and fans. The book is an absolute must-have for every Beatles fan. Our guest has written and produced documentaries, TV series and specials, including “The 20th Anniversary of the Mary Tyler Moore Show”, “The Museum of Television and Radio's Salute to Funny Women of Television” and many more.

A few weeks ago, Annie interviewed Jon Provost, who played the little boy Timmy on the Lassie TV series in the 1950s and 60s. He talked a little bit about Rudd Weatherwax, who was Lassie's owner and trainer. Jon talked about how Weatherwax only trained with praise and rewards, and Annie described him as "progressive." After the episode aired, however, she found some old videos that showed training methods that suggested otherwise. In this episode, Annie reads from Weatherwax's 1971 book, The Lassie Method: Raising & Training Your Dog With Patience, Firmness & Love, and considers the pros and cons of his suggested training techniques. Notes: Free ebook on dog training techniques you can use on people: http://schoolforthedogs.com/people 1971 footage promoting the book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMrD3wO2m0I The Lassie Method: Raising & Training Your Dog With Patience, Firmness & Love --- Partial Transcript: Annie: So a few weeks ago, I interviewed Jon Provost, the actor who played Timmy on the TV show Lassie when he was a kid. And we talked just a little bit in the episode about Lassie's trainer and owner, whose name was Rudd Weatherwax. And he was kind of a big deal in the world of commercial dog training in the early to mid 1900s. He trained Asta for The Thin Man. He trained Toto for The Wizard of Oz, but Rudd Weatherwax wasn't really the focus of the interview. And, you know, I admit in some episodes I have more of an agenda than in other episodes. Some episodes of this podcast, I am just interviewing people who have done interesting things with dogs or are working with dogs. I like stories about people and dogs, and I like sharing those stories, but of course I am dog trainer. I am opinionated. I have very specific points of view on the subject matter. But two things. One, I think I just assumed that someone who spent so much time on set with a dog and their trainer would be able to recognize what they were doing as far as training goes. Like I think I just take for granted at this point that someone could break down what someone's training methods are or what their approach is. But in reality, I know things can seem kind of opaque when you're watching training happening. And if you don't know what to look for or what you might not want to be seeing. I mean, I don't know. Also I'm talking to a man who is recollecting things that happened 60 years ago when he was a kid. The other thing of course, being that Rudd Weatherwax maybe really was all praise and reward with Lassie on set or whenever Lassie was with Jon Provost. They worked together very closely for many, many years, the dog who played Lassie and Rudd Weatherwax. Interestingly, they only ever had one Lassie at a time. I learned that speaking with Jon. Anyway, that dog, whichever Lassie it was at the time, and Rudd Weatherwax I'm guessing had a very strong bond. And I'm sure that that dog was tuned into understanding what Rudd Weatherwax wanted with very, very little force or coercion necessary because they had such a history working together. And also, because again this is me guessing, that they did a lot of training for him to learn new things off set. So by the time they got onset, it was more about maintaining those behaviors, which could be done using positive reinforcement. Cause that's the way that you're going to encourage behaviors that you want to keep happening. And if you're doing something on a set in front of a camera where they might do several takes, you want behaviors that are going to keep happening...

Jon Provost was the boy sidekick to the 20th Century's most-loved dog: Lassie. In the late 1950s and early 1960s a third of American households tuned in each week to watch Lassie, a whip-smart Collie, help Timmy get out of countless pickles. Lassie came to define the "perfect" dog. In this episode Provost, who is now 70, talks about working with a dog star, and about what he learned from Lassie's rather progressive trainer/owner, the famous Hollywood dog trainer Rudd Weatherwax. He and Annie also discuss his early exposure to the notion of a "therapy" dog, and his more recent work to bring attention to rescue dogs, Army dogs, and more. Annie ends the episode by reflecting on how Lassie impacted our cultural notions about dogs, perhaps not for the better, and reads from Jean Donaldson's book Culture Clash, about the Disney-fication of dogs and how a desire to anthropomorphize "man's best friend" has led to some huge errors in the way people attempt to train and understand the dogs who live with us.

Its star, whose name was Baby, was a guy playing the role of a girl -- a nonhuman girl. That girl was, of course, Lassie. [Whistling - Lassie theme] Baby has long since left us. The show is only on in reruns. And today, most people have not heard of Lassie's famous trainer, Rudd Weatherwax, who was responsible for many of the 20th century's most famous dog actors, but last year, his best friend is still around and still hanging out with dogs like it's his job. Today, I have for you an interview with Jon Provost who played Timmy on the show Lassie for most of his childhood. He spoke to me about Weatherwax’s progressive and positive reinforcement based training methods, what it was like to grow up off camera with Lassie, and about his continued work with dogs. Fun fact, did you know there was actually never an episode where Timmy fell in a well, can you believe that? Before we get started, I just wanted to suggest that you go check out my brand new one hour long master class. It's called “Three simple things every dog owner needs to know to teach a dog quickly and easily without, force, pain, a major time investment or fancy equipment.” It's a presentation where I talk about how I got into dog training, how it kind of revolutionized how I see the world. You'll learn to think about the way your dog learns, specifically wow to think about the way in which your dog is learning thanks to classical conditioning all the time...

TVC 497.4: Author, producer, and Hollywood historian Laurie Jacobson talks to Ed about her years studying improv with Harvey Lembeck (and the many famous actors who often dropped in Harvey’s classes unannounced), taking acting lessons from Russell Johnson (and how The Professor took his role as teacher very seriously), and why cookbooks will never go out of style, especially right now. Laurie’s latest book, TV Dinners: 40 Classic Kids Dish Up Recipes with a Side of Memories, features recipes from the kitchens from your favorite classic TV child stars from the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s, including Jerry Mathers, Jon Provost, Paul Petersen, Alison Arngrim, Kathy Garver, Bill Mumy, Ernest Thomas, and Dawn Lyn. TV Dinners not only offers fun twists on such comfort food favorites as macaroni and cheese, but provides memories of the places and people from whom these recipes originated. Some of the profits from the sales of TV Dinners will support the efforts of A Minor Consideration, the non-profit organization, founded by Paul Petersen, that helps child stars, past and present, make the often difficult transition from child acting to adult life.

I had a great time talking to my friend Laurie Jacobson about her new book TV Dinners..40 Classic TV Kid Stars Dish Up Favorite Recipes And Memories. We had so much fun catching up and talking about her book. She knows all the folks in the book because she became a member of the kid stars family after she married Jon Provost, who was Timmy in The Lassie Show. There are so many of our faves. Veronica and Angela Cartwright. They were from England and both so talented. You remember Veronica for her amazing performances in The Birds and The Children's Hour. Veronica continued acting as an adult. I've just recently been watching The X Files..I know 20 years later. Veronica had a major recurring part. Angela was known for Make Room For Daddy, Lost In Space and The Sound Of Music. She is now a wonderful artist. Lots of scoops. We talk the Leave It To Beaver Crew..Larry Mondello was missing, now he's found. The Walton's The Brady Bunch, The Dick Van Dyke show, My Three Sons and so many more. They all give fave food as kids, then give yummy recipes as adults. It will make you long for wonder bread, peanut butter and Marshmallow fluff. This is a fun podcast for these crazy days. I read the book curled up and just enjoyed seeing what happened to all these wonderful kid stars that have brightened many a generations day. I thank Laurie so much for coming on.
