Harvey Brownstone Interviews Sharon Gless, Legendary Emmy & Golden Globe Award Winning Actress

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Sharon Gless, Legendary Emmy & Golden Globe Award Winning Actress, Author, “Apparently There Were Complaints”
About Harvey's guest:
Today’s special guest, Sharon Gless, is a beloved, multiple Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actress who’s been dazzling audiences since she became the very last contract player at Universal Studios in 1972.
After distinguishing herself in a number of memorable roles on TV including Kathleen Faverty in Marcus Welby, Maggie Philbin in “Switch”, Sidney Enderman in “Centennial”, Penny Alston in “Turnabout”, and Jane Jeffries in “Housecalls”, she landed the iconic role of Christine Cagney in the groundbreaking TV series, “Cagney and Lacey”, which was the first TV drama with 2 female lead characters, for which she won 2 Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award for Best Leading Actress in a Drama Series. She went on to win another Golden Globe Award and 2 more Emmy nominations for her starring role in “The Trials of Rosie O’Neill”.
And then, for 5 glorious seasons, she became immortalized for exemplifying the warmth and loving acceptance of the ideal Mom in another groundbreaking TV show, “Queer as Folk”, which became the #1 show on the Showtime cable network, and forever changed the landscape of how the LGBTQ community was portrayed on television.
After playing Lynn Warner on “The State Within” and the evil Colleen Rose on “Nip/Tuck”, which earned her a 9th Emmy nomination, she gave us yet another Emmy nominated iconic performance, as the chain-smoking, hypochondriac mother from hell, Madeline Westen in “Burn Notice”, which ran for 7 seasons. She continues to deliver outstanding performances on TV in “The Gifted”, “Casualty”, and in the upcoming TV movie “Constance”, and in a feature film being released next year, “Fast Charlie”, co-starring Pierce Brosnan and the late James Caan. In addition to having a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, she’s been nominated for 23 prestigious acting awards, including 10 Emmy Award and 7 Golden Globe Award nominations.
And now, her best selling memoir entitled, “Apparently There Were Complaints”, which was released last year, is now coming out in paperback on November 29th. This is a deeply personal, brutally honest and highly relatable book that I simply COULD NOT put down.

Sharon never disappoints! Great and revealing interview, but what marvels me most is Harvey's ability as an interviewer. Extraordinary.

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Thank you so much for your very kind comments about my interviewing style! Your positive feedback means the world to me! Please spread the word about our show!!🙏❤️

OMG I just love Sharon Gless

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Me too. I was pinching myself throughout the interview!!! I hope she lived up to your expectations in this very special conversation.

[@paullewis2413]

Great actress, evidently great person. Loved Cagney and Lacey, essential viewing in our house every week. The humour in the script made this series stand out from other “detective” series 😊

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

I’m so happy you enjoyed this interview. I absolutely adore Sharon!

[@harveybrownstone7840]

I was addicted to “Cagney and Lacey” and “Queer as Folk” primarily because of Sharon Gless. So can you imagine my thrill when she agreed to appear on our show? The focus of the interview was her book, which was an extremely raw, emotionally turbulent memoir. My challenge was to highlight the book contents without making the interview maudlin, depressing and emotionally difficult for Sharon Gless. I hope I succeeded in revealing a candid, up close and personal glimpse of who this remarkable woman really is.

[@birgitschuster3481]

Thank you

[@birgitschuster3481]

Here in Germany I only saw Cagney and Lacey. Since then, for me, Sharon has been the most intense and best actress

@birgitschuster3481 I have been very fortunate. All the celebrity interviews on our show turn out to be great conversations. I guess that’s why our show is #12 in the world!!

[@hiddengoldbook]

A real “haymish” interview. You two melded like you’ve been friends for years. Sharon was my hero in Queer As Folk, one of my favorite shows of all time. Her warmth, humour and sensitivity are very evident in your talk. Harvey, you hit this one out of the park, and it’s obvious that Sharon agrees.

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Awwww thank you so much! You’ve made me ferklempt!!! I absolutely adore you!!!

This is a fantastic interview Harvey I adore Sharon Gless ❤ I used to watch Cagney and Lacey and Queer As Folk every week C&L filmed quite a few movies and QAF were filmed in my hometown of Toronto She's remarkable

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Thank you so much for watching this very special episode of our show. I absolutely loved my time with Sharon.

[@craft-o-matic399]

This interview was riveting from beginning to end! I haven't watched TV in years, but I did watch Cagney and Lacey and the Trials of Rosie O'Neill faithfully, and I was always absolutely enthralled by Sharon's performances and Tyne Daly's performances as well. Both shows make me reflect on my life in very wonderful ways' especially with regard to Cagney and Lacey. I am much more the Cagney character, but have a longing to integrate more of Lacey's character. I think I would be as close to perfection as is humanly possible if I could achieve this and know that it was genuine, in my own way of course. Thank you so very much! Thank you Sharon!, and I have to thank Tyne Daly as well. This was a very personal interview, and that is how one can gain insights sometimes about ones own life. Thank you Harvey! The flow of this interview was perfection! Lisa

Harvey, another wonderful interview. I ❤️ Sharon, I have always found her to be honest, warm, funny, interesting, and above all authentic. I loved her book and am thrilled for her that it has done so well. 😊

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Mike I am delighted that you enjoyed this very special episode of our show. I absolutely loved every moment of my time with Sharon, because as the interview progressed, it felt like we were just 2 friends having an intimate conversation. When that happens, there are moments of real magic. I think those magic moments are what distinguishes our show from all the other interview shows out there.

[@paddielucas4354]

Another heartfelt conversation between friends (or so your interviews alway seem). Love Sharon. It would be fabulous to see her in a Netflix series. Apparently "There Were Complaints" sounds like a great Christmas stocking stuffer. No complaints here! Great interview. Thanks Harvey

Sharon Gless is remarkable. Back in the 80s, I had the honor of meeting her and Tyne Daly at a Ms. Magazine lunch that also honored Dolly Parton. What a day! Thank you, Harvey for another great interview.
