Have you ever seen the local NYC show Profiles? Several of the episodes are filmed at the Hotel Wales and we are a featured sponsor. Tune in Friday evenings to enjoy some really fantastic interviews with famed celebrities such as KC & the Sunshine Band, Kathy Ireland, Jesse Ventura and Chubby Checker.
Mickey Burns interviewed legendary film actress Leslie Caron last Friday night. In 1958, Leslie became America’s Sweet- heart with her lead role in “Gigi”, a film that won 10 Oscars, including best picture. And in 2007 she once again proved her acting prowess – winning an Emmy Award for a guest role as a rape victim on “Law And Order: Specials Victims Unit.
