For nearly two decades in three different TV markets, Bill Bowman entertained horror movie fans as ‘The Bowman Body.’ In the early 1970s in Richmond, Virginia, he outdrew Johnny Carson and became a local icon with little kids, college students, shift workers and night owls. With a ukulele, tennis shoes and a tuxedo, the Bowman Body crossed social barriers with humor, inspiring music and art along the way. A lifetime in broadcasting yielded dozens of hilarious stories captured in this film, from Bowman’s hearse misdirecting a funeral for 20 miles, to naked coeds appearing at his door, to the Hell’s Angels seeking autographs. But it also explores the impact Bowman had on the community and the meaning of local television in a different time. |
