Life in the Golden Age of Hollywood and DC with George Stevens, Jr.

John Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor, Sidney Poitier, Edward R. Murrow, James Earl Jones, Steven Spielberg, Laurence Fishburne, Robert Wagner, Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush and George Stevens, Sr., just a few of the people we meet in Bill's interview with George Stevens, Jr. In addition to working with his father, the legendary film director George Stevens. Sr., George Stevens, Jr. was a successful producer and director in Hollywood before being lured to Washington as a member of Edward R. Murrow’s team at the United States Information Agency during the Kennedy administration. Stevens founded the American Film institute and created the Kennedy Center Honors. He ran those for 37 years, interacting with the greatest artists and performers of our time and presidents from Carter to Obama. He's captured it all in a new book, a memoir, entitled My Place in the Sun: Life in the Golden Age of Hollywood and Washington. You can get your own copy here.
