George Putnam(1914-2008)
- Actor
- Writer
A long-time staple on Los Angeles TV news, Putnam was in the reporting
business for over 60 years. During the 70s, George had a short-lived
nightly talk show with co-host, actor
Mort Sahl. The show ended abruptly one night
when George, the conservative, and Mort, the liberal, became 'too
heated' during a political debate. Putnam has been called upon several
times to appear in movies as a news announcer, thus infusing a sense of
authenticity. George ended his career as a conservative radio talk show
host on KIEV-870 in the L.A. area until shortly before his death.
