The Phil Donahue Show, also known as Donahue, is a television talk
show hosted by Phil Donahue that ran for 26 years on national TV. Its
run was preceded by three years of local broadcast over WLWD in
Dayton, Ohio beginning in 1967. It was broadcast in syndication
nationwide between 1970 and 1996. In 2002, Donahue was ranked
twenty-ninth on TV Guide magazine’s list of the fifty greatest
television shows of all-time.

I’m doing research for a movie called Freezing People is Easy about Robert Nelson, and early pioneer in the field of cryonics. He froze the first man in 1967. After that he got in over his head and had to jump through some crazy hoops to keep his clients in a frozen state. I’m looking for an episode of the Phil Donahue show from either 1971 or 1973 that featured Robert Nelson, the president of the California Society of Cryonics and Beverly Greenberg (aka Gillian Cummings), associate of the Cryonics Society of New York. Can anyone here point me in the right direction? Thanks!
