“Rona Barrett’s stellar career has made her one of the world’s most famed celebrity interviewers,” said Rick Buehler, VP of sales and acquisitions at Infinity. "The Hollywood history she has captured and preserved in her personal library is both fascinating and a great legacy that Infinity Entertainment Group is pleased to bring to DVD."
Barrett said, “It has been my great pleasure to interview a broad range of some of the world’s most interesting people and to watch them grow over the years, both as artists and in their personal lives. I am so pleased to partner with Infinity Entertainment Group to bring some of my favorite interviews from my personal archives to DVD and a new audience.:
Infinity will release Nothing But the Truth on Oct. 28 (prebook Sept. 23; $24.98).
One dollar of each DVD sold will be donated to the Rona Barrett Foundation for the Elderly Poor, which helps senior citizens who are unable to obtain assisted living care.
