Edward R. Murrow - The Best of Person to Person
From 1953 to 1959, Edward R. Murrow informally welcomed television viewers into the homes of the twentieth century’s most well-known stars and celebrities on PERSON TO PERSON. Utilizing perhaps the simplest set in television – a chair, a table an ashtray and a picture window – Murrow greeted two guests per week in remote interviews that candidly revealed the private lives of such notable figures as John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, Sammy Davis, Jr., Milton Berle, Sophia Loren and many more.
A television legend, Edward R. Murrow is credited with making broadcast journalism respectable, courageous and sincere. Industry professionals still aspire to the standards he established during his illustrious career.
