It’s one thing for a person to go off the grid. It’s a whole other story when no one can identify a hiker’s dead body for more than two years.
Director Patricia E. Gillespie explores the mystery of the unidentified man in Max’s upcoming documentary “They Called Him Mostly Harmless,” which made its world premiere on Oct. 8 at the Hamptons Intl. Film Festival.
The unidentified hiker had no ID, phone, credit card, or any way to be identified when police found him deceased in a tent at Florida’s Cypress National Preserve in 2018. The hiker didn’t appear in any missing persons database, and no family members or friends came forward to claim his body. The John Doe soon became known by his trail names — “Ben Bilemy” and “Mostly Harmless.”

Just because the Grammys is a far different show than the Oscars doesn’t mean the producers and suits behind it think they’re immune to the kind of incident that happened Sunday with Will Smith.

“I think you go into every live show with the understanding that anything could happen, and it usually does,” says Sussman, who quips that he still has Ptsd from working the infamous Super Bowl Xxxviii halftime show with Janet Jackson. “If you surround yourself with really talented people behind the scenes, you’re in a position to handle it, knowing that it might not be a perfect outcome, but it’s gonna be an okay outcome, at least as far as making television is concerned.”

TV legend Norman Lear just broke his own Emmy record on Tuesday night. At the virtual Creative Arts Emmys ceremony on the Television Academy website, “Live in Front of a Studio Audience” won for Best Variety Special (Live). Lear had won the same award last year at age 97, but his current age of 98 now helps him extend the record as the oldest person to ever win an Emmy. Both featured new live adaptations of “All in the Family,” while the 2019 version had “The Jeffersons” and the one from this past December recreated “Good Times.”
Lear had already won four Emmys for “All in the Family” in the 1970s.
