Alan Shayne: Actor, Casting Director, Television Executive, Author

In the early days of television, he appeared in landmark series such as Studio One, Ford Theatre, Kraft Television Theatre, and other pioneering broadcasts.

Through triumphs and heartbreaks, Alan never stopped chasing excellence, whether guiding Hollywood’s brightest stars, producing Emmy-winning television, or shaping the future of entertainment with care and vision. He was responsible for creating some of the most popular TV shows in history, including ALICE, DUKES OF HAZZARD, WONDER WOMAN, GROWING PAINS, and SCARECROW AND MRS KING. Movies that he worked on include ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE, THE HOUSE WITHOUT A CHRISTMAS TREE, and THE BOURNE IDENTITY.

Alan is the author of 5 books with his next title AND IT ONLY TOOK 100 YEARS... coming out February 10, 2026. In it he discusses his six-decades-long partnership with artist Norman Sunshine, a love story that endured secrecy, prejudice, and time itself. Together they created a shared life filled with beauty, humor, and devotion, proving that the most extraordinary thing of all is the quiet miracle of lasting love.

Only about 0.03% of Americans ever reach 100, and fewer still arrive there with such grace, insight, and gratitude. Reflective, wise, and deeply human, AND IT ONLY TOOK 100 YEARS… is a celebration of work, love, and the mysterious force that binds them—the hard-won truth that, in the end, a full life is its own masterpiece.

A Milestone Worth Celebrating

Their shared milestone birthdays offer a rare opportunity to celebrate not only two distinguished careers but a remarkable life lived together with grace, humor, and enduring achievement.
