Island Voices - Entertainment Columnist and Biographer Michael Starr

A lifelong Entertainment Columnist and Biographer Michael Starr resident of greater New Netherland, Michael Starr has been chronicling the incredible events and happenings of the entertainment world here and everywhere.

Growing up in the suburban shadow of the greatest city on Earth, this kid from northern New Jersey was taken by the magic of this place, by this 'business of show'...and just like our show does, he eventually came to focus on the critical element within it -- the CHARACTERS who make that history. And he has penned remarkable biographies on classic entertainers including Art Carney, Joey Bishop, Bobby Darin, Raymond Burr, Redd Foxx, William Shatner, Ringo Starr, and soon - Don Rickles!

He has been reporting on entertainment in New York since the Dinkin's administration, so he is already a piece of the incredible history of this incredible place.

He is the purveyor of the Starr Report, but today he is THE star, he is OUR star...he is a gentleman and a scholar and we are so honored to have him as our guest. He is New York's own, entertainment columnist and author, Michael Starr.
