Lee Grant is one of those great examples of the phrase, “a woman with a story to tell”. She has LIVED a life, and her long experience is one of those needed to avoid repeating history.

Lee provides valuable insight here about the blacklisting and how it was enabled and the effects, short and long term, on those affected.

It sounded very much like she wanted to talk more about Sharon Tate and what it was like to work with her and get to know her, but the interviewer cut her off and redirected her which was VERY disappointing. The other leading ladies in Valley of The Dolls all became friends with Sharon. Barbara Parkins was a bridesmaid in Sharon’s wedding. I thought the juxtaposition of Lee Grant and Tate on screen made for an interesting chemistry in the film since they were so different. Tate was far less experienced and had great things to say about observing and learning from Lee Grant. It would have been interesting to hear more of what Lee had to say.

I read Lee Grants book and it was wonderful. What an incredible, fearless woman. VERY good writer,actress, and judging from her interview..........speaker. I just love her work.

Lee really looks like a different person now (i heard her mention on another recent interview that she had her first facelift at age 30 ) but my goodness she is so spry and vibrant to be close to 90 years old

I know she’s had cosmetic surgery because she’s admitted to it. But now, it looks like a lot of fillers too. Her face looks swollen. Shes very fit and sharp of mind ,though.

She keeps talking about a play involving a "nuclear submarine" and Eddie Rickenbacker (the WWI American fighter ace). Does she mean Hyman Rickover, the father of the US nuclear navy ??

Yes. The interviewer got it wrong too (22:07).

Which one of her documentaries were made into a movie? I've only known of one and that was the one she mentioned, but she said most of them were. 'Down and Out in America' wasn't, I don't think, nor was 'What Sex Am I?'

What has she done to her face, omg Lee Grant was stunning.

@monicaqueenan9985 7 ай бұрын

She was stunning. However, people continue to age no matter what they've had done. A face-lift only lasts a decade or so. Cosmetic surgery can make you look better or different but never younger.

Very self absorbed interview, midly interesting if I was was conducting a very specific thesis.

@EastSide-qc5oy 2 жыл бұрын

Hmmmm, when people are sitting for an interview where they are expected to talk about their career and their life I don’t really see how “self absorbed” can be avoided. But maybe i’m wrong. Maybe she should have focused more on other people she worked with and people she cared about?

@Scorchy666 Жыл бұрын

I would say unguarded. Some older stars (Olivia De Havilland comes to mind) still could not drop the movie star facade and be honest about anything during interviews. Lee has always been an open book.

@@johnpjones182 Many hollywood stars had face lifts. Some look horrible after having a face lift. Funny lady Phyllis Diller even said when she went to the doctors again for another face lift. The doctors rejected Miss.Diller stating: There is nothing left to lift off of her face.
