Blasts from The Past: Athlete and Celebrity Profiles from the 60s and 70s

Author Walt Brown, a former broadcast journalist, shares with you his time in the Golden Era of sports and “show biz" from the 60s and 70s. It all is in his book: “Athletes, Celebrities, Personal Moments The 60s and 70s.”


Miami, FL – WEBWIRE

Brown was a prominent sportscaster in both television and radio back in the 60s and the 70s. It was wild and chaotic during those times, but it paved the way for the popularity of sports and catapulted the glitz and glamor in Hollywood movies and TV today. The book documents his memorable interviews and interactions with the biggest icons in sports history, as well as the rich and famous in Tinseltown: from Muhammed Ali, Jerry Rice, Jesse Owens, George C. Scott, Reba McEntire, and Bob Hope to JFK controlling a convention.

Yes, politics also made waves and headlines with local and foreign decisions as the Vietnam war was ravaging in Asia. …AND: Racial equality concerns were prevalent and turbulent at this time, as were women’s rights issues. Various sports leagues begin to rise prominently, the NBA and NFL to name a couple. What makes Walt’s memoir-documentary stand out is inclusion of events and moments that you don’t find anywhere else. Walt never was a “paparazzi.” His special moments never were in mainstream media or even most sports history references.

The rip-roaring 60s and 70s are the decades that shape the course of our nation’s history; which created a turning point that helped make America today. This defined a culture of its own, and the people behind it, as well as reinforcing democracy in the process. The book has a roller-coaster ride of memorable moments shared by Walt that you will want to re-visit often in your own copy of the book.

About the Author
Walt Brown was a successful radio/TV sportscaster and TV news director during the last half of the twentieth century. He broadcast more than twenty different sports, including Major League Baseball, NFL Football, NBA Basketball, as well as auto racing and the Olympic trials. He interacted with major athletes, coaches, movie stars, celebrities and won an Emmy and other awards.

Walt attended Stanford University with a Navy ROTC Scholarship. Following college, Walt served four years, as a naval officer; two at sea and two doing sports play-by-play. He has a bachelor’s degree from Stanford University and a master’s degree in visual communication from Arizona State University, where he studied with photographers from National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, and Arizona Highways. Walt was a TV news director, leading the second highest rated newsroom in the nation. Never one for personal attention, Walt never was one for “selfies.” Only twice was he photographed with his guest; Reba McEntire, and Jerry Rice. Each time it was someone else’s idea.

Walt is published both as a photographer and a poet, as well as having written one book, “Athletes, Celebrities, Personal Moments, the 60s and 70s.” He has kissed the Blarney Stone, been bitten by a killer tse-tse fly, and climbed the Great Wall of China.
