George Stevens Jr. and The Test of Time
Original Airdates: May 20-22, 2022
TVC 578.4: Ed welcomes George Stevens Jr., founder of the American Film Institute, creator of the Kennedy Center Honors, and son of Academy Award-winning director George Stevens. After working with his father on the sets of A Place in the Sun, Shane, The Diary of Anne Frank, and Giant, George was well on his way to establishing his own career as a director when a unique opportunity to work with legendary broadcaster Edward R. Murrow brought him to Washington, D.C. at the outset of the JFK administration. That journey not only changed the course of George’s life, but changed the course of film history in the United States through George’s efforts with AFI. George’s memoir, My Place in the Sun: Life in the Golden Age of Hollywood and Washington, is available now wherever books are sold.
