Podcast appearances and mentions of William V Madison

William V. Madison, author of “Madeline Kahn: Being the Music, A Life”, reunites with Andrew, in the ITBR, after Andrew's 30th birthday bash on Fire Island to share how his life led to writing Madeline Kahn‘s only biography. William is a former producer for CBS News and a former associate editor of Opera News. He was  the lone production assistant for the Broadway musical “Rags” in 1986, and he studied at both Brown University and Columbia's School of Creative Writing.  Though William never got to meet Madeline, he was able to gather anecdotes of her life through friends and family. He shares his experiences talking to Madeline's mother Paula, Gene Wilder, Mel Brooks, and other figures in Madeline's life. This enabled him to learn more about Madeline's experiences growing up, acting, and collaborating with other performers.  William reveals why Madeline Kahn's life and work inspired him so much and why he decided it was up to him to tell her story. He talks about how captivating he found Madeline's acting and performances, especially when he dove deep into her theatrical process. He gives us niche movie recommendations that feature Madeline outside of her much talked about films “Blazing Saddles” or “Young Frankenstein.”  Check out William's biography on Madeline Kahn, “Madeline Kahn: Being the Music, A Life” https://www.upress.state.ms.us/Books/M/Madeline-Kahn Learn more about the Hollywood Legends series on Twitter, @upmiss and follow the Madeline Kahn biography Facebook page, @AuthorizedBiographyOfMadelineKahn.
