EMMY AWARD WINNER GRAMMY NOMINATED WRITER, AUTHOR, AND PERFORMER GEOFFREY MARK

Upon Meeting Emmy Award Winner and Grammy Nominated Writer, Author, Performer, radio and television host, producer, and director, Geoffrey Mark. How do I describe Geoffrey Mark? He is funny, charming, and handsome. He sees life reasonably, taking the bad and transmuting the energy that he can manifest into good. A writer, author, producer of cable and special television projects, and an Emmy award-winning Grammy-nominated artist, it is no wonder that Geoffrey touches the hearts of all that he meets and is literally a living legend. He says that he loves being Geoffrey Mark and we should all be the more grateful that he does. His experience spans space and time, capturing the before and after his simply being himself. Keeping his creative juices lucrative is an ongoing mystery of just how he continues to do that. Growing up in New York was a dream for him beginning as a youngster. With the wonder of a child and the ability to make his talent and gift to Gab prominent. We sat and talked while he gave us a small snippet of his experiences with the greatest Broadway performer of all time, Ethel Merman. Telling the true story of Ethel Merman’s marriage to Ernest Borgnine, which lasted only 48 hours. Neither knew much of the other but when they met each other it was a very strong attraction. Merman was touring the country and Borgnine was filming McHale’s Navy. He finally proposed. It seemed that after dating for a year their relationship was, for the most part, drinking and having sex. They didn’t talk much. Geoffrey didn’t think they talked a lot about what life might be like being together and Merman had her reservations because she had already been married three times. So, Lucille Ball throws Ethel a surprise wedding shower on the lot of the Desi Arnaz studios. They were very close. Lucille Ball had been a chorus girl at the Samuel Goldwyn Studios when Ethel was making movies with Eddie Cantor back in the 30s. They met back then and the three of them along with Ann Southern, who introduced them and who was also with the studio, became the best of friends.
