Samantha Newark (interview from Rock N Pod 2023)

Introducing Samantha Newark, aka the voice of JEM of "Jem and the Holograms"! The series was a joint collaboration by Hasbro, Sunbow Productions and Marvel Productions.

At 10, while playing the State Fair Circuit, she opened for music legends Eddie Rabbit, Pat & Debby Boone, Dolly Parton, The Osmonds and Mac Davis in front of crowds of 37,000 people! Please enjoy the duet with Danny and Samantha singing "Hard To Be Humble"!:) She played the lead in Wizard of Oz and Annie! With the likes of Zsa Zsa Gabor and Elizabeth Taylor in attendance and all around Samantha has worked with Hollywood royalty! A book about her experiences is hopefully coming soon!
