Ben Vereen
Icon alert! Ben Vereen. The ultimate Tony Award-winning entertainer, actor, singer, dancer, advocate and life philosophizer (yes he sure is, you'll discover why during this podcast!) and I sit down for a deep dive with insights, laughs and poignancy.
You'll hear Ben get into:
- being plucked off the streets of Brooklyn
- transforming into a star
- his famous teachers and mentors, like Bob Fosse and Langston Hughes
- life philosophies
- how he developed a sense of style
- leaving high school
- getting married at age 17
- getting evicted
- finding out a BIG secret about his parents
- his major, life-changing car accident
- losing his 16-year-old daughter
- how he and his wife coped with the loss
- his thoughts on life and how he keeps moving forward
- what he hopes to pass along to others
- singing!
