Classic Theatre - 1975
Click to Read
We can hardly mention classic drama on WGBH (and PBS) without thinking of the one person perhaps most responsible for the many memorable series seen across America. Joan Wilson Sullivan brought us Masterpeice Theatre, Classic Theatre and Mystery! At WGBH Radio, she co-produced and directed the WGBH Radio Development Project. We have Joan to thank for bringing us, among other treasures, "Upstairs, Downstairs, and "Pennies from Heaven." These gems alone would have earned her that special place in the Pantheon of broadcast drama. For those fortunate enough to have shared her dream, Joan was our leader, our muse, and our friend.

Hi,
It's great to learn more about Joan Wilson and WGBH. I have been waiting for a site like this for a long time. I was wondering, you don't happen to have any pictures of Joan with her husband, Jeremy Brett, do you? I've only found one very graining photo on the entire internet. They made such a great couple, I think.
Can you tell me how to find copies of the videos that were aired for the Classic Theatre Series? I am particularly interested in She Stoops to Conquer.

Keep up the good work!
