Actress Joan Benedict Steiger, Wife of Academy Award Winner Rod Steiger, Appears on Cole & Noble

March 2, 2011 by

[HTML1] Joan Benedict Steiger, veteran actress and dancer, forged a career in show business in the early days of television. Joan made notable appearances on the original Candid Camera, The Steve Allen Show, General Hospital and Days of Our Lives! Joan is also known for her acclaimed solo shows Leona, about Leona Helmsley, and her autobiographical The Loves of My Life.

The Steiger in Joan’s last name comes from her marriage to Academy Award-winning actor Rod Steiger! The two had known each long before as friends, then their romance kindled, and the Steiger spent nearly a decade working together and supporting each other until the Rod’s death in 2002.

Today, Joan immerses herself in every acting opportunity, including a recent appearance on Fox’s Dollhouse, and is preparing to write her memoirs. Remembering the past with no regrets, she looks forward to a future of even more accomplishment!

About Al Cole

Al Cole, “Mr. Romance,” has lived some life, and has paid some dues. Al, an African-American man(don’t let the blue eyes fool ya!), is the product of a very loving, very special, romantic mother and father. From the earliest age Al related to that generous, loving, romantic spirit that was nurtured in him.

Al has also seen oppression. Oppression can sometimes breed sensitivity and empathy. This aspect of living has caused Al to relate to women even more sensitively and empathetically. A sensitivity and empathy that Al calls “Romance.” Creativity rounds out the character. Al is a born and professional entertainer. Through Al’s singing and songwriting, his CBS Radio broadcasting, and through the depth of his voice, Al has learned many ways to deliver his “Romance” message—seriously, comically, sensually and spiritually. He has carried the Romantic word out to women…and to men too. And in the carrying of that message, Al has found that women and men from all backgrounds have often asked for his advice and guidance concerning their familial and romantic relationships.

Al has been particularly blessed to have women confide some of their deepest personal and relationship secrets to him. These “secrets” coupled with his own experiences and intuitions have combined in his offering both women and men some of the most powerful, enlightening, and mind-challenging guidance that they say they have ever received.

Al has been told over and over again by his fans, fans who affectionately call themselves “Al Cole-holics”, that his reflections, as well as his romantic words, could fill a book. The reflections, the romance, and the “secrets” have now been revealed in Al’s new book Romance for Women…& For All Mankind!

Al is also the Host of Al Cole: People of Distinction on WomensRadio. Al Cole: PEOPLE Of DISTINCTION is a unique show giving distinctive public figures the chance to talk not only about their great public accomplishments, but also notable aspects of themselves as individuals...what motivates them to create the things they do, their special goals and interests, their insights into life itself!
