The “biggest thing on television” was born and raised in Brooklyn and overcame a great deal in his life - the early death of his older brother, abandoned by his Father and partly responsible (due to a tragic mistake) for the death of his Mother, Jackie had a difficult life. Determined to succeed, he appeared in cheap clubs, films and early television before making the series for which he is forever known - “The Honeymooners”. Besides Jackie, you will meet his talented cast members, learn the history of the show, see some rare behind the scenes photographs For more information, please contact Molloy Institute for Lifelong Learning, CONTINUING EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL STUDIES, 1000 Hempstead Avenue Rockville Centre, New York 11571-5002, or 516.323.3550 or email onted@molloy.edu
