I Saw Them Standing There with Debbie Gendler

Debbie Gendler Supnik is with us to chat about her new book, I Saw Them Standing There: Adventures of an Original Fan During Beatlemania and Beyond. Debbie received an album by an unknown (in the US) British band named the Beatles and nothing was the same ever again! She said, “Yes!” to the opportunities that presented themselves, ending up in the audience of The Ed Sullivan Show, meeting Brian Epstein, attending the 1965 press conference welcoming the Beatles to America, visiting the Abbey Road Studios, staying with George’s parents in Liverpool, becoming friends with Paul’s brother Mike McCartney, and ending up working for the Ed Sullivan Show as an adult.

Debbie is a four-time Emmy-nominated television executive and producer with CBS and ABC. She served as Women in Film’s first Los Angeles-based Executive Director and was VP of Development for Weller/Grossman Productions. She currently works as a co-producer at SOFA Entertainment, owner of The Ed Sullivan Show.
