About the Author

Jon Anthony Dosa is the Emmy Award winning producer of A Day At The Movies, the 90-minute,   no-holds-barred, behind-the-scenes documentary shot during the filming of the 1976 horror classic Burnt Offerings with Bette Davis, Oliver Reed, and Karen Black.

Born in Akron, Ohio, Dosa was a “poster child” of the fifties, and a “flower child” of the sixties.

After graduating from San Jose State University with a major in Advertising and Psychology, he studied subliminal advertising before becoming a “systems analyst” for Title Insurance and Trust Corp, in San Francisco.

In 1968, Dosa’s well-researched and well organized opposition to the Vietnam War led to his first media position, as producer of the politically controversial “Joe Dolan Show,” on KNEW-Talkradio in Oakland, California.   He also produced “The Pat Michael’s Show” and “The Hilly Rose Show” on KTVU-TV and KBHK-TV, in San Francisco.

As Program Director for TelePrompTer Cable TV, one of the nation’s premier systems, Dosa’s highly creative and innovative programming caught the attention of the media, and owner Jack Kent Cooke. (“Wow! On a par with the Lakers.”)

He’s also credited with creating the first shop-by-tv show, “TV Window Shopping,” in 1976.

In 1980, Dosa moved to Los Angeles, where he became a Program Coordinator for KABC-Talkradio.   He produced local and nationally syndicated shows for such talk show luminaries as Larry Elder, Tavis Smiley, Dennis Prager, Bill Press, Gloria Allred, Michael Jackson, Susan Estrich, and psychiatrist David Viscott. He also appeared as a regular on the late night NBC-TV call-in series, “The Dr. David Viscott Show.”

Now retired, Dosa lives  in Palm Springs, California, where he reads, walks, swims, writes, socializes, and watches lots of old movies on TCM. Reel Life: 101 is his first book.
