GOLDDIGGER DAYS

"During one of my dance classes a friend asked why I had not gone with Linda, another girl in our class to Dayton, Ohio, a neighboring town to audition for the Golddiggers....".

Patti Gribow, Host
Patti Gribow, CEO of Gribow Entertainment Inc. is host of the Southern California talk show, Patti Gribow's Roundtable. For two seasons Patti has wowed viewers with in-depth conversations with innovative and inspiring people on The Patti Gribow Show. Patti is the perfect picture of the modern woman, a girl of the sixties and a woman of the new millennium. She has savored life's opportunities by delving into new projects with passion and reinventing at every turn.
Ms. Gribow has pursued a host of careers in entertainment beginning in the mid 1970's when she was recruited from the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music to become Captain of the Golddiggers on the Dean Martin Show and Jonathan Winter's Show. Through the 70's and 80's, she and the Goldiggers toured with Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Milton Berle, Jerry Vale, Bobby Goldsboro, Joan Rivers and Petula Clark. Ms. Gribow boasts roles on over 30 television shows such as Happy Days, Days of Our Lives, Charlie's Angels, Fantasy Island and Quantum Leap. Musically, Patti pursued her individual singing career, and has had the honor of singing for both President Ronald Reagan and President Gerald Ford.
Over the past 25 years, Patti has served on philanthropic boards and/or volunteered for numerous non-profits in Los Angeles and the Coachella Valley such as: Thalians, City of Hope, Cardiac Arrhythmia Research and Education, American Friends of the Hebrew University in Los Angeles, Children's Discovery Museum of the Desert, National Charity League and John F. Kennedy Memorial Foundation. In 1998 Patti was co-founder of The Ophelia Project, a program in support of young women in their quest for self-realization. Then in 2001 she was invited to the board of the Women's Leaders Forum where she served as President for 3 1/2 years. WLF is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that provides leadership opportunities and education to women of all ages. In addition Gribow is currently on the board of Palm Springs Women in Film. Her advocacy for women has earned her several awards including the "Women Leaders Forum 2008 Lifetime Achievement Award", an Athena Award for Entrepreneurship from the city of Palm Desert, and the George Berkey Palm Desert Citizen of the Year. On March 7, 2009, Patti received the "2009 Making a Difference Award" by the Soroptimist International of Palm Desert-Sunrise.
In February 2009, Steven B. Sample, President of the University of Southern California, under the recommendation of Dean Madeline Puzo appointed Patti Gribow to a three-year term on the Board of Councilors of USC School of Theater.
Patti's passion as a women's advocate led her to give birth to Strictly Speakers, Inc. a full service speakers bureau specializing in Southern California experts with an emphasis on Women's Empowerment. Today Ms. Gribow is a most sought after speaker on the topics of leadership and reinvention.
