What a great time I had this Tuesday at the Movie Addict Headquarters SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY PARTY on BlogTalkRadio! We played clips of famous guests, talked about favorite shows, and announced a book-giveaway drawing.  Joining the festivities were: Mad Movie Man A.J. Hakari, Mr. Show Biz George Bettinger, film historian James Colt Harrison and Classic Film Guide founder Diana Saenger. The Top Ten episodes during the last twelve months were revealed as well as the guest with the most listeners during the past seven years -- who just happens to be the one and only Cloris Leachman (with almost one million listeners!).

The four film-related books below are being given away during our ANNIVERSARY random drawing that closes on August 1, 2014. (Instructions for entering the drawing are covered toward the end of the episode.)

Me and Orson Welles by Robert Kaplow

Hollywood or Bust by Susan Marg

Confessions of a Movie Addict by Betty Jo Tucker

It Had To Be Us by Harry & Elizabeth Lawrence

Fave Female Stars on MAHQ

What do Cloris Leachman, Debbie Reynolds and Miss Piggy have in common? They are three very talented actresses, of course. But they’re also among the 18 nominees for “Favorite Female Star on Movie Addict HQ.” Listeners will be asked to vote for their favorites after hearing brief clips of the nominees -- or support statements -- during this November 6th show. We can't vote for a woman in the 2012 presidential election, but we CAN vote for one in this MAHQ special election event!

In appreciation for voter participation, a random drawing will be held for a free copy of CONFESSIONS OF A MOVIE ADDICT, my humorous memoir with everything edited out but the fun movie stuff. The name of each listener who sends in an e-mail vote to reeltalk@comcast.net will be added to this book giveaway drawing. Deadline for the drawing is Friday, November 16.

“Fave Female Stars Day” airs on BlogTalkRadio at 4 p.m. Eastern Time (1 p.m. Pacific Time) on Tuesday, November 6, 2012. During the live show, listeners are encouraged to call in and to participate in a chat. An archived segment will also be available.

COMEDY RULES!

Poet T.S. Elliot wrote, “April is the cruelest month.” I disagree! After all, it begins with April Fool’s Day, so I always think of April as the Comedy Month. That’s why we’re saluting people who make us laugh on Movie Addict Headquarters tomorrow, April 17, at 4 p.m. Eastern Time (1 p.m. Pacific Time). We’ll also be revisiting a couple of original comic bits from this year’s episodes. And we’ll be launching our April book giveaway drawing for autographed copies of CONFESSIONS OF A MOVIE ADDICT, my amusing life story with everything but the movie stuff edited out. Just click on this link for the live show tomorrow or to hear the archived segment after it airs: www.blogtalkradio.com/movieaddictheadquarters
