He also describes fully the experience and significance of his winning the first Emmy Award ever awarded a “film made for television,” that he accepted at the very first Emmy Awards that took place on January 25, 1949. He talks about his other credits as a television producer including the series G. E. Theater and Bracken’s World, and the television movie Babe. The interview was conducted by Gary Rutkowski on June 17, 2004.
