Summary: TVC 595.4: From October 2010: Actor Ron Masak (Murder, She Wrote, Ice Station Zebra, Harper Valley PTA, Second Effort) talks to Ed about the one-man show about Mark Twain that he wrote and starred in; his passion for baseball, including how Ron was offered a contract to play for the Chicago White Sox after being scouted by Major League Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby; and working with Patrick McGoohan in both Ice Station Zebra and Columbo. At the time we spoke to Ron, he had just released his memoirs, I've Met All My Heroes from A to Z, a heartfelt tribute to some of the many people from all walks of life that Ron met in his career who had an impact not only on his life, but the world in general—people such as Neil Armstrong, Lucille Ball, Jack Benny, Roy Campanella, Joe DiMaggio, Rock Hudson, Cary Grant, Audie Murphy, Angela Lansbury, Elvis Presley, Alan Shepard, John Wayne, NFL Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi, legendary Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda, country western artist Garth Brooks, and General Norman Schwartzkopf. Ron Masak passed away last Thursday, Oct. 20 at the age of eighty-six. Want to advertise/sponsor our show?
