The Beatlology Interviews: Actor Mark Hamill
Something a little different this week that we think you’ll enjoy. From our friends at the Apostrophe Podcast Network: Terry O’Reilly’s “The Beatlology Interviews”.You may not know that Stuart McLean was a huge Beatles fan (though really, aren’t we all?) And he collected Beatles memorabilia. Another huge fan and collector is Terry O'Reilly. In this episode of “The Beatlology Interviews” Terry talks to actor Mark Hamill about all things Beatles... and more. Mark Hamill not only owns collectibles, he is a collectible. Mark talks about his first blush with the Beatles, how he began collecting Beatles memorabilia, that time he met George Harrison on a plane, and whether or not he let his kids play with Star Wars Toys. It's a fascinating interview. We hope you enjoy it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
