Remember WENN


 

Remember WENN was a television series that aired from 1996 to 1998 on American Movie Classics. Created and written by Rupert Holmes and set at the fictional Pittsburgh radio station WENN in the early 1940s, it depicted events (both dramatic and comic) in the personal and professional lives of the station's staff in the era before and during World War II.

Major Characters

  • Mr. Foley, played by Tom Beckett, is a foley artist. His notable characteristic, ironic when compared with his profession, is that he does not speak at all.
  • C.J. McHugh, played by C.J. Byrnes, is the station engineer. He also fills in on radio programs when needed.
  • Maple LaMarsh, played by Carolee Carmello, a brash, spirited radio actress who originally came to WENN as a replacement musician.
  • Jeff Singer, played by Hugh O' Gorman, acts as the romantic lead in many WENN productions. He has an on-again, off-again relationship with Hilary Booth.
  • Hilary Booth, played by Melinda Mullins, is a former Broadway star who stars in many WENN productions. She is often a melodramatic diva, and has a shaky, undefined relationship with Jeff Singer.
  • Mackie Bloom, played by Christopher Murney, is the "Man of a Thousand Voices."
  • Eugenia Bremer, played by Mary Stout, provides themes and music for WENN and has a early-morning radio program.
  • Betty Roberts, played by Amanda Naughton, is the sweet-natured writer and jane-of-all-trades at WENN.
  • Victor Comstock, played by John Bedford Lloyd, was the station manager until he was killed in a bombing raid in London.
  • Tom Eldridge, a retired Broadway doorman played by George Hall. Fills in when needed.
  • Scott Sherwood, played by Kevin O' Rourke, is Victor Comstock's successor as station manager. After he was fired, he returned to WENN as an actor.
  • Gertrude Reese, or Gertie, played by Margaret Hall, is the station switchboard operator.
