IN THE SPOTLIGHT: George Stevens Jr.

Welcome to Episode 62 and a very special interview with award-winning director, writer, producer, and playwright George Stevens Jr.  Mr. Stevens’s new book My Place in the Sun hits shelves May 17th, 2022.  It’s the story of how the son of a celebrated Hollywood director emerged from his father's shadow to claim his own place as a major force in American culture. Stevens tells an intimate and moving tale of his relationship with his Oscar-winning father and his own exciting career in Hollywood and our nation's capital. Fascinating people, priceless stories and a behind-the-scenes view of some of America's major cultural and political events grace this riveting memoir.

Mr. Stevens is the founder of the American Film Institute, creator of the AFI Life Achievement Award and the Kennedy Center Honors and has served as co-chair of the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities for President Obama. His awards and honors include fifteen Emmys, eight Writers Guild Awards, two Peabody Awards, the Humanitas Prize and the 2012 Honorary Academy Award. He is the author of Conversations with the Great Moviemakers of Hollywood's Golden Age at The American Film Institute and the Broadway play Thurgood.  He joined us from his home in WA DC.
