About Me
- William V. Madison
- I’m a native Texan, educated in the Northeast, returning to my New York City home after 7 years in France. ... I’ve been a producer on radio, a writer on television, a gopher on Broadway, a stage manager and costume designer off-off-Broadway, an opera critic, a secretary, a reporter, an editor, an actor, a teacher, and a go-go boy. ... My former bosses include soprano Teresa Stratas, actress Madeline Lee Gilford, producers Robert V. Straus and Lee Guber, and broadcast journalists Dan Rather and Connie Chung. ... I’m currently writing the authorized biography of actress Madeline Kahn, forthcoming from University Press of Mississippi.
