Ron Kaye is the former editor of the Los Angeles Daily News where he spent 23 years helping to make the newspaper the voice of the San Fernando Valley and fighting for a city government that serves the people and not special interests.
Twice in recent years, Los Angeles Magazine listed Kaye among the city’s most influential people, specifically in the area of politics. Kaye has been variously described in the media as the “accidental anarchist,” “the Patrick Henry of the San Fernando Valley” and a “passionate populist.” He is now committed to
carrying on his crusade for a greater Los Angeles as an ordinary citizen. Previously, Ron worked at the Los Angeles Herald Examiner,
Associated Press, Cleveland Plain Dealer and The Australian as well as papers
in Fairbanks, Alaska and Yakima, Wash. He also wrote for Newsweek magazine, The Guardian in London and the National Enquirer.
Randy did a great job celebrating a great life!
One of your many friends, Teddy
Well-done tributes to both you and Sally Field. So you were a genuine rabble-rouser in your day, huh?
And Sally at 60 still seems like a girl to me and many of us -- how does Gidget, the Flying Nun, and Norma Rae ever truly grow up? As the mom on Brothers and Sisters, she seems more like the whiny and borderline neurotic old-leftie matriarch to a bunch of grounded kids who have to look after HER -- but she's so cute still, it's hard to believe she's actually a "senior citizen" and so are many of her viewers.
I'm glad she never became a flaming leftist activist in real life, though, like Ed Asner -- that other sitcom icon mentioned in your DN video, who went to the Daily News to research his role as Mary's editor. (Anyone who doesn't know who Mary was, or remembers the Flying Nun, is too young to appreciate all of this fully. I was a kid when these shows were big, but they were among those shows whole families enjoyed together In the pre- "Jackass" the show and movies days.)
