J. F. Lawton - Radio

Radio

Lawton worked with popular radio host and media personality Howard Stern on the script for The Adventures of Fartman, a fictional superhero character created by Stern for The Howard Stern Show. With two major studios willing to produce, the movie was put into hold due to a MPAA Film Rating System dispute. Lawton and Stern wanted the movie to be R-rated instead of PG-13. They both thought the content of the film was more suitable for a mature audience.

Although the film was put on hold, Howard Stern included part of the script written by Lawton in his 1995 bestselling book, Miss America. The book became number one on the New York Times Best Seller list within days of its release.

He has also been a guest on The Jason Ellis Show, broadcast by famous professional skate boarder and radio host Jason Ellis on Faction 28 by Sirius Satellite Radio.

Famous quotes containing the word radio:

    Local television shows do not, in general, supply make-up artists. The exception to this is Los Angeles, an unusually generous city in this regard, since they also provide this service for radio appearances.
    Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)

    A liberal is a socialist with a wife and two children.
    —Anonymous. BBC Radio 4 (April 8, 1990)

    Having a thirteen-year-old in the family is like having a general-admission ticket to the movies, radio and TV. You get to understand that the glittering new arts of our civilization are directed to the teen-agers, and by their suffrage they stand or fall.
    Max Lerner (b. 1902)
