An Exclusive From The Eddie Brinkmann Archives…Part 1
How’s this for a resume? To help you get to know more about Eddie’s amazing carrier, that covers Broadway and television, I thought we should start with is resume. The first page (left) and half covers a lot of big names in theater, but be sure and take a look at the bottom of page two (middle) and all of page 3. The shows he stage managed are some of the biggest in television. Although he worked with Sullivan 23 years, that was usually just on Saturday and Sundays. The rest of the week he was stage managing other shows, including Jackie Gleason, The Ed Murrow Show, Red Buttons, Frank Sinatra and even CBS shows shot on film in NYC like the Phil Silvers and Sargent Bilko shows. How would you like to have references like those at the bottom of page three (right)? Thanks to Dee Wexler, his granddaughter for sharing this. There is much more to come! Please share this with your friends.
I hope someday his amazing archive ends up at UCLA or The Paley Center.
Tim Kiley and Frank Satenstein, two legendary live TV directors, listed among the references.
All well and good, but did he ever do the 6 & 11?
Amazing references!
He was an amazing man….
Very impressive Resume! If someone like him would be looking for a job today, places like NY Dept. of Labor, would tell that person to boil it down to a one page Resume only; otherwise it will not be looked at but tossed into a shredder. Or else, submit it online to the ‘Job Agent’.
Very impressive, amazing!
Nice references…
Pretty amazing!
