MAY 13 | In a special salute to classic TV, the Entertainment Merchants Assn. will honor Paul Petersen, who starred as Donna Reed’s son in the popular ’50s and ’60 series The Donna Reed Show.

Petersen will receive the Legendary Television Son Award at EMA’s Home Entertainment Awards, held June 24 during the Home Media Expo.

“Paul Petersen was one of the most popular stars on television as part of one of television’s most beloved families,” said EMA president Bo Andersen. “His personal dedication and his experience as a child star have provided the groundwork for a lifetime of advocacy dedicated to protecting the rights of working children. We’re thrilled to honor him for his contribution to classic TV and the welfare of his fellow performers.”

Arts Alliance America plans to release The Donna Reed Show on DVD in the summer.

Other Home Entertainment Award honorees include independent filmmaker Henry Jaglom, who will receive the Independent Career Achievement award; actor Cam Gigandet, with the Rising Male Star of the Year Award; and Happy Days duo Don Most and Anson Williams, with the Legendary Television Duo Award. Actor Ed Begley Jr. will receive the Humanitarian Award, and comedian Pauly Shore has been named Comedy Entertainer of the Year.

EMA’s annual Home Media Expo will take place June 24-26 at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
