Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Candace Bushnell, Journalist, Producer, Author, “Sex and the City”.
Candace Bushnell is a best-selling novelist, journalist, TV producer, and, most recently, the star of her own one-woman show.
She’s the celebrated author of “Sex and the City”, which formed the basis for the phenomenally successful TV show that aired for 6 seasons on HBO, followed by 2 hugely popular movies, and the re-boot TV series “And Just Like That”, currently in production for its third season.
She has also written NINE other internationally bestselling books: “Four Blondes”, “Trading Up”, “Lipstick Jungle”, “One Fifth Avenue”, “The Carrie Diaries”, “Summer and the City”, “Killing Monica”, “Is There Still Sex in the City”, and “Rules for Being a Girl”. Her books, “Lipstick Jungle” and “The Carrie Diaries” were BOTH made into TV series for two seasons.
Back in the 90s, Candace Bushnell had her own reality show called “Sex, Lives and Video Clips”. Since then, she had an interview program on Sirius Satellite Radio called “Sex, Success and Sensibility”, which explored women’s careers and relationships. She then had a 4-part web-series called “The BROAD ROOM”, which took a humorous look at women in the workplace. And THEN, she created her own BRILLIANT one-woman show called “True Tales of Sex, Success, and Sex and the City,” where she takes the audience on a whirlwind tour of New York City, from Studio 54 to the Lipstick Jungle and beyond, sharing her remarkable stories of fashion, literature and sex while pouring cosmos in Manolos. This highly acclaimed show started out off-Broadway in New York and got rave reviews. She has taken the show overseas, to a number of countries, and as far away as South Africa, and she is currently on tour in the US, playing to sold out audiences and getting standing ovations. And in December, she’s taking the show to Australia. She is the winner of the 2006 Matrix Award for books, and a recipient of the Albert Einstein Spirit of Achievement Award. She’s a frequent guest on ALL of the major talk shows, and she’s constantly in demand because of her intelligence, warmth, wit, fearlessness and immense likeability.
Harvey Brownstone is a retired judge of the Ontario Court of Justice and was the first openly gay judge in Canada. He is also the bestselling author of “Tug of War: A Judge’s Verdict on Separation, Custody Battles and the Bitter Realities of Family Court” and hosted “Family Matters with Justice Harvey Brownstone,” a television talk show on matters involving the family justice system.
After a distinguished legal career, Harvey was appointed a judge at the age of 38 in 1995. He has presided in family and criminal courts. He has been a trailblazer in several ways. He was the first openly gay judge in Canada. He was the first sitting judge in the world to write a national best seller and to host a TV talk show.
Harvey has been a role model and icon in the LGBTQ community. When same-sex marriage was legalized in Canada in 2003, he was the only judge to make himself publicly available to officiate at weddings for lesbian and gay couples travelling to Toronto from all over the world to get married. In 2007, he officiated at the wedding of Edith Windsor and Thea Spyer, the American couple whose marriage triggered the 2013 United States Supreme Court decision overturning the definition of “spouse” in the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
In February 2021, Harvey launched his online talk show “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” on his own YouTube channel. He saw this as an interesting hobby. Within several months, the show attracted hundreds of thousands – and then eventually, millions – of viewers. Because of the overwhelming success of the show, Harvey decided to retire from the judiciary on December 31, 2021 after having presided as a full-time judge for 26 1/2 years. Free from the constraints imposed upon judges regarding the expression of opinions and the endorsement of private enterprise, Harvey now happily devotes his full-time attention to hosting “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” as a regular member of the public – albeit one with a rather illustrious and unique career history.
