Ahe Jesse Owens Story” To
Air Nationally
Look forward to seeing
the four hour, two-part
major television event,
“The Jesse Owens Story”
to air nationally this July,
prior to the 1984 Summer
Olympics.
“The Jesse Owens
Story” follows the life of
this American folk hero
from his incredible record
breaking college days
through the 1936 Olympics
to his battle with the United
States courts.
Starring in the title role
is Dorian Harewood, who
plays Owens for a period of
almost 40 years in the great
-athlete’s life. Harewood is
joined by a stellar cast
including Tom Bosley,
Ronny Cox, George Stan
v ford BrdWn, LeVar Burton,
Barry Cbrtnn, Norman
_Fell, George Kennedy,
Debbt"Morgan, Ben Vereeh
and Vic Tayback.
---ine _ Jesse Owens
Story” is not just a screen
biography. It is a great love
story, a tale of a black
man’s fight to maintain his
dignity in a racist world, a
tale of a dramatic look at a
very special athlete who
was dedicated to a country
and a society that had no
place for him. Jesse’s is the
story of a human being who
truly made a difference in
this world.
WHO ARE THE DEBOLTS
What’s so special about
the Debolts? I guess you
could consider them rather
typical except for the fact
that they have 19 kids.
_Thirteen of their kids were
adopted and physically
handicapped. What makes
a couple take on this type of
responsibility and have no
regrets? Watch this award
winning documentary as
- narrator Henry Winkler
(the Fonz on "Happy
Days’’) talks about
Dorothy and Robert and
their 19 kids and find out.
“Who Are the Debolts...”
will air on channel 58,
Saturday, June 9 at 9 p.m.
