Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Marina Anderson, Ex-Wife and Author of “David Carradine: The Eye of My Tornado”.
Today’s show is all about a highly acclaimed and beloved legendary actor who captivated the world in dozens of movies including “Death Race 2000”, “Cannonball”, “Bound for Glory”, “Armed Response”, “Thunder and Lightning”, “The Serpent’s Egg”, “Gray Lady Down”, “Deathsport”, “Circle of Iron”, “The New Swiss Family Robinson”, and the classic Quentin Tarantino movies, “Kill Bill: Volumes 1 and 2”.
On TV he was immortalized for his portrayal of “Kwai Chang Caine” on the classic hit series “Kung Fu” and “Kung Fu: The Legend Continues”.
Marina Anderson had a 6 year relationship with David Carradine, and she was married to him from 1998 to 2001. She was also his manager during that time, and she is widely credited for motivating Mr. Carradine to achieve sobriety and revitalize his career.
Following his untimely and shocking death in 2009 in a Bangkok hotel room, apparently caused by “auto-erotic asphyxiation”, Marina Anderson wrote a fascinating, compelling and eye-opening best-selling book about her tumultuous, chaotic, exasperating and intensely passionate relationship with David Carradine. The book was revised in 2014 to incorporate the conclusions she reached following her own personal investigation into the bizarre circumstances of this enigmatic superstar’s mysterious death.
Marina Anderson has had a long and multi-faceted career in the entertainment industry, not only as an actress, but also working behind the scenes as a manager, writer and publicist, and she’s also a strong and devoted advocate for animal welfare.
Harvey Brownstone is a retired judge of the Ontario Court of Justice and was the first openly gay judge in Canada. He is also the bestselling author of “Tug of War: A Judge’s Verdict on Separation, Custody Battles and the Bitter Realities of Family Court” and hosted “Family Matters with Justice Harvey Brownstone,” a television talk show on matters involving the family justice system.
After a distinguished legal career, Harvey was appointed a judge at the age of 38 in 1995. He has presided in family and criminal courts. He has been a trailblazer in several ways. He was the first openly gay judge in Canada. He was the first sitting judge in the world to write a national best seller and to host a TV talk show.
Harvey has been a role model and icon in the LGBTQ community. When same-sex marriage was legalized in Canada in 2003, he was the only judge to make himself publicly available to officiate at weddings for lesbian and gay couples travelling to Toronto from all over the world to get married. In 2007, he officiated at the wedding of Edith Windsor and Thea Spyer, the American couple whose marriage triggered the 2013 United States Supreme Court decision overturning the definition of “spouse” in the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
In February 2021, Harvey launched his online talk show “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” on his own YouTube channel. He saw this as an interesting hobby. Within several months, the show attracted hundreds of thousands – and then eventually, millions – of viewers. Because of the overwhelming success of the show, Harvey decided to retire from the judiciary on December 31, 2021 after having presided as a full-time judge for 26 1/2 years. Free from the constraints imposed upon judges regarding the expression of opinions and the endorsement of private enterprise, Harvey now happily devotes his full-time attention to hosting “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” as a regular member of the public – albeit one with a rather illustrious and unique career history.
