Malone was born as the sole living heir to a tobacco farming empire dating back to the early 19th century, but he was more attracted to working in show business and Hollywood than managing the family industry in Kentucky. From the age of three, he spent his summers in Los Angeles with his grandmother, Francis Malone.
Upon graduation from college, Malone, a theater major, took to summer stock. He toured with the theater – which included several stints on Broadway. Still, he yearned for Los Angeles and moved to the city permanently in the late 1980s, where he did nightclub acts.

Malone was forced to cut back on the rigors of live performance to care for his ailing grandmother. Amongst other rare activities, he played backgammon twice weekly with Lucille Ball – up until two weeks before she died – and was described by Ginger Rogers in the National Enquirer as her longtime pal. Malone thus became more active in philanthropic pursuits, following in his grandmother’s footsteps. Amongst other accomplishments, he provided much needed assistance to the Motion Picture Home – a home for retired or infirmed actors – raising and donating money for the home and arranging for inspirational visitations from other Hollywood stars. He also worked closely with the late “Mayor of Hollywood”, Johnny Grant, securing stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (Hollywood Chamber of Commerce).
One of his first movie acting forays was the film Sunset After Dark where Malone co-starred with Oscar winner Margaret O’Brien and Anita Page.

At an ensuing autograph show for Sunset After Dark Malone was discovered by producers from MTV who cast him opposite Carmen Electra on MTVs 1990s quirky hit show Singled Out. For three seasons, Malone played a variety of characters in a series of comedic sketches. Most notably was the character of “Filmstar Randal Malone” – a male version of Sunset Boulevard protagonist Norma Desmond. Singled Out host Chris Hardwick remarked that Malone and, particularly his character “Filmstar” was the funniest element in the show’s history. After Singled Out’s cancellation, Malone hosted segments for the Game Show Network until his grandmother’s health declined to the point that he had to quit the day to day schedule of television in order to care for her full time.
Malone served as President of the Southern California Motion Picture Council, a charitable organization rich in Hollywood history and remains one of the longest running groups of its kind in existence.

Sanctuary Is Fashion. Sanctuary Fashion Week makes its mark on the fashion week game yet again with its latest epic installment of what has been called the most unique and theatrical fashion week going these days. This must be due to the Sanctuary mission of creating such creatively encompassing platform for all types of creators such as the visual arts, music, dance, and, of course, fashion. Their inspiring and inclusive fashion week events are set against a backdrop of historic gothic cathedrals and cater to both a high end, as well as an emerging talent crisis of attendees.
Tough Competition. Boasting such a lineup of talent is now incredibly rare, but what certainly is different from most fashion week productions is their penchant for creating an almost theatrically inspired series of shows and performances that typically leave the onlookers in awe. Since the last Mercedes Benz fashion week in Bryant Park in NYC, the fashion week production industry has splintered off into countless entities, each having their own distinct way of presenting each seasons fashion trends in numerous markets. Sanctuary Fashion Week, however, seems to have taken the historically unchanged template and breathed a new light, a sincerity and an intimacy into it. A welcome addition to such a vibrant industry and a fantastic model that some other fashion week production companies are already emulating.
A Royal Host. During fashion week in Los Angeles in October, dynamic duo and founders of Sanctuary Fashion Week, Sir Kenn and Sir Korrie Gray Hayes, produced 16 high end designer fashion shows and had 8 musical and dance performances by well known artists. Hollywoods Celebrity Anchor His Highness Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe was the host of the prestigious event.
Top Designers. By all accounts, the series of shows was memorable and left front row celebs and other attendees wanting more and inspired by the fashion forward collections presented. Some of the designers included; Ritual, Dell Scott, Dur Doux, Lindie Sayman Couture, & Love Baby J.
Disney and Lifetime Celebrities. Hip Celebrities even come in scores to be a part of both Sanctuary Fashion Week and their newly launched Sanctuary Magazine such as Aaron Spellings Melrose Place Star Jamie Luner (she received standing ovations after Prince Mario-Max welcomed her), Larry Namer the E! Television Founder, Disney notables Ava and Alexa Kolker, Txunamy, Solage Ortiz, Julia Garcia, Joelle Better, Kyra Lyn, Madison Freidman, as well as stars like Aaron Paul, Gustavo Gomez, Amanda Holley, MotoeHaus, Sangeeta Kaur, and many others.
