Debbie Allen: A Conversation Part 1 of 8

The behind the scenes TV stories you wouldn’t have known - from the people who were there.

My guest today is an actress, director, dancer, choreographer, producer, 3 time Emmy winner, golden globe winner, ten image awards, a Lifetime achievement award winner of the Carnival: choreographer’s ball and the George and Ira Gershwin Award for Lifetime Musical Achievement,.

She’s guested on Good Times, The Love Boat, Quantum Leap, Jane The Virgin, Dance Moms, Grey’s Anatomy, appeared in Roots The Next Generation, Ragtime, The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh. Appeared on Broadway in West Side Story and Raisin.
She’s directed shows such as Quantum Leap, The Twilight Zone, Jane The Virgin, That’s so Raven, Everybody hates Chris, the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Family Ties, Grey’s Anatomy, The Jamie Foxx Show, Empire, Girlfriends… aw heck - just go read her IMDB page.

She’s perhaps best known for appearing in the film and TV show FAME, as well as directing and choreographing that series.

And, notably, she took over as the producer and chief creative showrunner to turn around the second season of the COSBY SHOW spin-off, A DIFFERENT WORLD, when that show was on the ropes, at the end of it’s first season, way back in the late 80’s.

Of course, I’m talking about the one and only Debbie Allen… and in this 8 part conversation - we run the gamut of her career. The anecdotes and trivia tidbits she tosses out are AWESOME.

In part 1, Debbie talks about how she got started - in Raisin on Broadway. Her guest shot on Good Times opposite the amazing Jimmy JJ Walker.

And the most unexpected revelation of all: her tv debut… on Captain Kangaroo.
