In this episode, I interviewed ILLEANA DOUGLAS, who is an Actor, Writer, Host, Interviewer, among many other titles. She has appeared in classic films, such as GOODFELLAS, CAPE FEAR, TO DIE FOR, GRACE OF MY HEART, among many others. She has worked with some of the best directors and actors of all time, such as Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Kevin Costner, Gus Van Sant, Allison Anders, among many others! Her new book is called "Connecticut In The Movies", which is about the history of Connecticut Cinema. This book isn't just about movies that were shot or took place there, it explores how the state inspired so many different types of genres, such as screwball comedies, country comedies, sex comedies, dark suburbia, horror, among many others! I highly recommend getting this book, as well as Illeana's first book, "I BLAME DENNIS HOPPER". Movies that Illeana and I touch on that are featured in her book: MISTER BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE (1948), which was directed by H.C. Potter and starred Cary Grant, Myrna Loy and Melvyn Douglas. THEADORA GOES WILD (1936), which was directed by Richard Boleslawski and starred Irene Dunne and Melvyn Douglas. LOVING (1970), which was directed by Irvin Kershner and starred George Segal and Eva Marie Saint. STANLEY AND IRIS (1990), which was directed by Martin Ritt and starred Robert De Niro and Jane Fonda. JACKKNIFE (1989), which was directed by David Hugh Jones and starred Robert De Niro, Ed Harris and Kathy Baker. THE SWIMMER (1968), which was directed by Frank Perry and starred Burt Lancaster. THE ICE STORM (1997), which was directed by Ang Lee and starred Kevin Kline, Joan Allen and Sigourney Weaver.
