Complete package. Real deal. So 70's and proud. A real pleasure to watch if you loved that sort of intense persona. I did, and I miss it ever so much today.
Stan Bohrman was a news anchor out of central casting. The inflections. The serious look, no matter the theme or setting. I'll never forget. In his mid-70's prime, he was BIG time around SF and LA. He was the IT factor at PIX and he was in your face--better or worse--no whether you liked it ot not. Frankly, I didn't know his politics were leftist and I didn't care, the guy could read the teleprompter and that's all that counted.
His most indelible moment, maybe all time: Bohrman made a celebrated cameo, as, what else, a news anchor in the 1979 movie, "The ChinaSyndrome"
A wow news personality? You betcha.
Don't forget KYW in Philadelphia, where he did a stint during my childhood.
ReplyDeleteStan also had the "Bohrman Blast" an air vent situated above the anchor desk to keep him cool.
ReplyDeleteHe was, and still is, The Man. I watched him in LA and Bay Area in my lifetime. And LOVED his bit in "The China Syndrome". I can even say, I became of Jane Fonda (for her perfect role in this film, especially at the end, Kimberly Wells' live broadcast. Michael Douglas should have slugged the PG-E bigly's, eheheh
ReplyDeleteWow, I had forgotten about Stan Bohrman. The hair was long (as it is today with COVID). That was Andy Park in some of the footage.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Wilford Brimley passed away this weekend. Along with Bohrman, Brimley had a role in "The China Syndrome."
