Summary
On this episode of You Are What You Read, we are joined by Sam Wasson, the renowned film historian and author of eight books, including The New York Times bestsellers Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.: Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and the Dawn of the Modern Woman; The Big Goodbye: Chinatown and the Last Years of Hollywood; and The Path To Paradise: A Francis Ford Coppola Story. He is also the coauthor of Hollywood: The Oral History (with Jeanine Basinger). Sam is here today to talk about FRANK CAPRA, his latest extraordinary biography of the great American artist and filmmaker. Sam made full use, for the first time, of Capra’s own archives, including deeply personal writings from his later years, and has brought this seminal artist into urgent life. This book is a dazzling portrait of both a lost America and an enduring one. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
