Norman Lear

TV writer-director-producer Norman Lear died Dec. 6, at age 101.

TV legend Norman Lear has written, produced, created, or developed TV Shows for over 70 years. This Sunday, at the 78th Golden Globes, he will be awarded the Carol Burnett Award, for outstanding contributions to television on and off the screen.

If ever a visionary was worthy of a lifetime achievement award, that individual has to be Norman Lear. Not only did he change the face of American television but through his political activism and philanthropy, he set an example for all America.

It’s not every day that you meet not one but two true entertainment legends. We had just that chance when we spoke to Norman Lear whose shows have collectively amassed 38 Nominations and 11 Golden Globes and Rita Moreno, herself thrice nominated and a Globe winner for West Side Story – the role which would also make her the first Latina actress to earn an Academy Award.
