The Producers - Nick Vanoff and Bill Harbach



On the set of the Julie Andrews Hour
(from the author's 1972 scrapbook)

    Early in Blake Edwards’ documentary, "Julie," as he tries to help his wife decide whether she should do the Lew Grade television series, he states, ‘Now, if you could get a Nick Vanoff to do the show, then it would be worth doing.’

 

“I love that,” said Bill Harbach, when I spoke to him recently and recounted this statement. Bill was listed as co-producer on the show, but told me that since they were partners, Nick had just brought him along. When Nick needed help, Bill would step in. Nick, he told me, was the one who made the creative decisions and knew everything about the show. But Bill Harbach, with his big personality and big laugh, was the man I most remembered up there on stage those Friday nights when The Julie Andrews Hour was being taped. Watch the show now, and you’ll hear his laugh.

More information about the show and those who worked on it coming in the future!
