"STARRING BRIAN LINEHAN..." JANINE INTERVIEW WITH GEORGE ANTHONY

Exclusive excerpt from new book about iconic Canadian Television host Brian Linehan in the Toronto Sun - Sunday, Sept.23, 2007. Taken from George Anthony's book, "Starring Brian Linehan: a Life Behind the Scenes", quoting Brian's friend and colleage, acting coach Janine Manatis:

"'I would never have thought that Brian would be a TV personality,' Linehan's friend and former acting teacher Janine Manatis says. 'Absolutely not...What overcame that, in my opinion, was the brilliance of his ability, which was to me absolutely unique. How he investigated, found out, looked into, and came up with information. Information. Not gossip. Gossip is the conversation of cowards. What Brian came up with was not gossip!'   When asked if Brian wanted to be an actor, 'No', says Manatis flatly. Half a century has passed, but her voice remains clear, uncluttered and effortlessly authortative."

A celebration of the launch of George Anthony's new book, "Starring Brian Linehan: A Life Behind the Scenes", featuring George Anthony and Joan Rivers took place on Friday, October 12, 2007 at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts, Toronto.

At this serendipitous book signing event, Janine met up with Joan Rivers and said, "I have a surprise for you..." She told Joan how Ethan, Janine's son, coaches Joan's grandson, Cooper hockey in LA. "WHAT?!" Joan roared and "NO!". "Yes!" Janine laughed, "You came all this way just to find that out!" Incidentally, Janine interviewed Joan Rivers back in the day when she was a TV Host/Critic.
