Biographical Note
Ralph Edwards was born near Merino, Colorado, in 1913, moving with his family
to Oakland, California, when he was 12. He worked his way through college at
radio stations in Oakland and San Francisco, graduating from the University of
California at Berkeley in 1935 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in drama. Edwards
moved to New York in 1936 and became one of radio's busiest announcers, doing as
many as 45 network shows a week. In 1940, in response to this hectic pace,
Edwards created, produced and hosted the landmark audience participation show
"Truth or Consequences".
The show's great popularity led to his appearance in the Lucille Ball-Victor
Mature film
Seven Days' Leave (1942). He moved the show and his production
company to Hollywood in 1945, where he made three more films for RKO:
Radio
Stars on Parade
(1945),
The Bamboo Blonde (1946) and
Beat the Band (1947), all
with Frances Langford. His big-screen career took a decided back seat in 1948,
when Edwards first brought to the air his other long-running show, "This Is Your
Life" (1952). On radio for its first two years, Edwards took the program to
NBC-TV in 1952, where it remained until 1961, winning two Emmys (he also hosted
a syndicated version from 1971-1973). His last feature film appearance came in
the Susan Hayward MGM bio-pic of Lillian Roth,
I'll Cry Tomorrow (1955), which
ends with a recreation of Roth's appearance on "This Is Your Life" (1952).
Edwards' television career began in earnest in 1950, when "Truth or
Consequences" (1950) aired one season on CBS-TV and earned the first Emmy
awarded for an audience participation show. He turned over host duties to Jack
Bailey in 1954 and, in 1956, launched the career of Bob Barker as host of the
daytime version. Edwards, also well-known for his extensive charitable and
philanthropic activities, became one of TV's most prolific producers.

This is Your Life Series 1.
1952-1987
Scope and Contents note
This Is Your Life is a television documentary series hosted by its producer, Ralph Edwards. It originally aired in the United
States from 1952 to 1961, and again in 1972 on NBC. It originated as a radio show airing from 1948 to 1952 on NBC Radio. A
version of it continues a very long run in the United Kingdom starting in 1955, and another version is still running in Australia.
It has also been broadcast from time to time in New Zealand and Scandinavia. Concept: The format of the show consisted of
the host, who would surprise someone (usually a celebrity or public figure, occasionally an ordinary citizen) and, consulting
his "red book", conduct a biography of the subject in a television studio. The subject would be presented with family members
and old friends, reunited with old acquaintances, and often shed a tear when a personal tragedy was recounted.
