  • Michael Preece
    Deutscher FALCON CREST - Fanclub July 31, 2009 The First Director: MICHAEL PREECE Talks about the Falcon Crest Première and Other Memories Interview by THOMAS J. PUCHER (German FALCON CREST Fan Club) I sent Michael Preece, who directed ten episodes of Falcon Crest, particularly the series première, a request for an interview via e-mail, and he replied immediately so we scheduled a phone conversation for July 31, 2009. He has been one of the most successful directors of U.S. TV shows for more than 30 years. His directing credits include many hit series from the 1970’s, ’80’s and ’90’s, such as The Streets of San Francisco, Knots Landing, Fantasy Island, Flamingo Road, Trapper John, M.D., The Incredible Hulk, T.J. Hooker, Riptide, Stingray, Jake and the Fatman, MacGyver, Hunter, Renegade, Seventh Heaven and Walker, Texas Ranger as well as — last but not least — Dallas. Getting to Work on Falcon Crest Michael stepped right into the middle of how much he enjoyed working on Falcon Crest, particularly with Jane Wyman. He said she wanted him to direct more often, but he was extremely busy with Dallas: “I had to go to Jane Wyman and tell her that I couldn’t work on the show.” He left no doubt that directing Dallas did not leave much room for anything else because he directed approximately 70 episodes of the series. But he enjoyed doing an episode of Falcon Crest from time to time. “So how did you get your first assignment for Falcon Crest, the first episode, In His Father’s House?” I asked.

Turmoil over the expanding Vietnam War escalated in May 1970 when 13 students protesting the war at Kent State University in Ohio were shot by members of the National Guard. Four of the students died and the tide of public opinion turned against the war. The break-out stars of the 60s, the British Fab Four— The Beatles—broke up in 1970. Vice President Spiro T. Agnew resigned on October 10, 1973 over allegations that he had accepted kickbacks and bribes as Governor of Maryland and in his position as vice president. At that time, the House Minority Leader, Gerald R. Ford, was nominated by President Richard M. Nixon to fill the role of Vice President. Ford was confirmed first by the Senate and then by the House becoming Vice President in December 1973. The Watergate Scandal in 1972 would ultimately cause President Nixon to resign from office effective at noon on August 9, 1974 rather than go through an impeachment. When Nixon resigned, Ford was sworn in as the 38th President of the United States at 12:05 p.m. becoming the only unelected president in US history. In 1976 America celebrated its Bicentennial with a birthday party from sea to shining sea.
