In this Movie Show Digital Extra, T.C. Christensen, writer/director/cinematographer for the new film Raising the Bar: The Alma Richards Story joins Andy Farnsworth and guest co-host KellieAnn Halvorsen to talk about the movie, including why this story is so personal for him, which parts of the story happened exactly as depicted in the film, and how he was able to recreate that specific time period.  Christensen's film tells the story of the first-ever Olympic gold medalist from Utah, Alma Richards. Hailing from the tiny town of Parowan, UT in the early 1900's, young Alma Richards can't quite figure out what he wants to do with his life.  When he discovers he excels at track and field, especially high jumping thanks to his days growing up on the farm, Richards begins a journey that will take him to Salt Lake City, Chicago and eventually Stockholm, Sweden for the 1912 Olympics. Along the way he crosses paths with some of the biggest sports names from the early 20th Century, including Amos Alonzo Stagg and Jim Thorpe. Raising the Bar: The Alma Richards Story, in theaters starting Apr. 24th, stars Paul Wuthrich, Ali Durham, Nick Matthews, Walter Platz, Sandy Hackett, Bryce Bishop, Anthony Garcia, Skyler M. Day, Pamela Beheshti and Paul Cartwright.  Directed by T.C. Christensen.

This week in the Flamingo Lounge, it's a family affair with father and son Richard and Richie Derwald. Recorded on February 25, 2024. Richard "Dixie Dee" Derwald, a musician, composer, vocalist, and recording artist, has been active in the music industry since 1957. His career began amidst the explosion of rock and roll, a genre he passionately pursued.  During high school, Richard balanced musical ambitions with aspirations of becoming a professional wrestler. He played upright bass and played on extended gigs at the Knickerbocker Lounge located on the Niagara St. corner of Arthur and then at the Capri Lounge also on Niagara St. Simultaneously, he trained at the YMCA, befriending wrestler Steve Stanlee (Mr. America), who mentored him both in the gym and on the mat.  This chance encounter led to a wrestling opportunity in Rochester, where promoter Pedro Martinez offered Richard regular bookings.  This propelled him toward his wrestling goal, leading him to leave the band and dedicate himself to the squared circle. Richie Derwald, a versatile performer, has consistently reinvented himself throughout his career. Beginning with country music tributes in local clubs, he then explored rock with The Memphis Flames, embracing a glam rock persona. The Nightwing Showband era saw him tackling diverse genres, from Las Vegas tributes to light jazz, culminating in opera training and performances at upscale venues. After a Las Vegas residency, Richie created his critically acclaimed "Live from Las Vegas" show, touring with Sandy Hackett's showcase. A subsequent stint with Whitestar Tours showcased his tribute artistry, alongside his wife Debbie. The pandemic halted his touring, but Richie channeled his energy into "Comfort Through Creativity," promoting art's mental health benefits. His original song "Changes" received acclaim, leading to a video series addressing mental fitness. Overcoming a stutter, Richie now speaks publicly about his personal struggles with depression, using performance and humor to inspire hope. Dr. Katherine Ansuini calls him the "Poster Child for Experiential Learning." Today, Richie partners with Nels Ross in "The Up Guys," delivering inspirational presentations blending Ted Talks and "America's Got Talent" elements.

On the latest episode of "The Friars Club Podcast," Joe Sibilia talks with comedian Sandy Hackett about his father Buddy Hackett, attending Friars roasts for his dad and Willie Mays, and appearing on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson." Plus, Sandy talks about how he made the transition from studying hotel management at UNLV to following in the footsteps of his father as a stand-up comic, his relationship with his "Uncle" and Friar Joey Bishop and how that spawned "Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack Show," and his one-man show in tribute to his father, "My Buddy."

My guest in this episode is Sandy Hackett. Yes the son of Buddy Hackett. I asked him if being the son of such a famous person make life easier or harder for him. However, before he answered the question, he let me know that I had asked the wrong question, and then he shared his journey in life - full of shifts. He shared bits of wisdom from his dad - but the one word answer Buddy gave to Sandy in the midst of a major shift in Sandy’s life is my favorite, and I have used it more than once on myself since I heard it. Nope, not sharing it now, you will need to listen. Most of all Sandy stresses that true success can only be found by following your heart. I know he will inspire you to follow yours.

Steve Cooper talks with comic/actor/radio host Sandy Hackett. Sandy is the son of comedy legend Buddy Hackett. At the tender age of 11, Sandy made his debut on Rowan& Martin’s Laugh In. At 15, he performed before 3,000 people at New York’s Westbury Music Fair, and then made his debut on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He honed his comedic skills on stage at the famed Casbar lounge of the Sahara Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Although known primarily as a comedian, he has had several dramatic roles in the films Jack of Hearts, Lovers & Liars and Ex-Cop. In 1998, he played District Attorney Martin Siegel in the acclaimed PBS series, On Common Ground. He also hosted a one-hour nightly Las Vegas-based TV talk show that was an immediate success and hosted his own weekly radio show, broadcast from Las Vegas and that aired nationally. These days and nights, He is writer, producer, director, and Joey in the production of, The Rat Pack is Back, an award winning nostalgic revue that captures the fun and music originally created in the 1960s by the infamous Rat Pack.

Nowadays if you're the offspring of an iconic celebrity, you can get work regardless of your talent as the subject of a reality TV show or by providing vacuous interviews on red carpets. But some of those who were born famous actually spend their lives trying to both make their own mark on the world and protect the legacies of their parents. In this episode, we'll hear from two men who have done just that, Louis Prima Jr and Sandy Hackett. Prima continues to try to rescue the dying Vegas lounge act that his father made so great and Hackett is a comic and musician in his own right whose Rat Pack production at the Sahara bounces off of his own family history with Frank, Dino, Sammy and Joey. Both have struggled with and enjoyed perks from their famous names and both speak openly about that mixed blessing as well as their fascinating Vegas histories.In Banter: The Aria buffet, Phil Ruffin's Bellagio play, the Build It Bigger on CityCenter, Forbes on Adelson and Ruffin, the MGM Mirage Xmas Day outage and more.Web: TheStripPodcast.ComE-mail: TheStripPodcast@aol.comTwitter: @TheStripPodcastBlog: VegasHappensHere.comVoicemail: 206-424-4737
