Amy Bristle Benfield: Child Actor Grows Up
Manage episode 375152312 series 2606191
Amy and her sister each won little Miss Ashe County NC so of COURSE their mother moved them to NYC for careers as child actresses. She did a pudding pop commercial with Bill Cosby and a film for Gary Marshall and a film with Matt Dillon. Then she moved home. Amy and I bond over stories of WRAL and our crush on CBS’ Jim Axelrod. (We’re both big fans!) Amy had quite the career in radio in Chicago. She once almost punched out Andrew Dice Clay. We wind up talking about feminism, political tags and how neither of us like them.
