| Joseph
Julian
entered radio in the early 1930s and spent three decades in the
business, performing in over 20,000 shows. While not a star of the
absolute first rank, he had top roles
in scores of radio shows and, along the way, also served as a
sound-effects man, announcer, newscaster, disk jockey, writer, and
foreign correspondent. His descriptions and anecdotes about all of the
positions can be found in his book, "This Was Radio." His
book is also significant for its chapters on his experiences in
Hiroshima shortly after the atomic bomb was dropped there, as well as
on the grossly unfair blacklisting he suffered for three years as a
result of McCarthyism. In a later career, Mr. Julian was a regular on
TV's "Dark Shadows." |
