Shelley Herman on her early career as a page at NBC Burbank in the mid 1970s

TV Confidential with Ed Robertson

TVC 642.5: Ed welcomes Emmy nominated writer Shelley Herman. Shelley’s memoir, My Peacock Tale : Secrets Of An NBC Page, is a funny, provocative, and often poignant look at her two-year career as a page at NBC Burbank in the mid 1970s, where she not only had VIP access every day to just about every major NBC personality at the time, but sometimes had to fight out unwanted sexual advances from predatory stars and executives. Topics this segment include the events that led Shelley to discover the page program at NBC; how she landed an interview with NBC executive Dick Ebersol; her experience as a contestant on The Dating Game; and her time working with Larry Hovis on The Liars Club.
