Last week, I wrote here about the wonderful memoir that has just been released in paperback which my friend Vicki Riskin wrote about her parents -- the actress Fay Wray (of King Kong, of course, and a great many more) and screenwriter Robert Riskin (who got five Oscar nominations and won for It Happened One Night), and helped found the Writers Guild.) It turns out that this Sunday -- February 14 -- she is going to hold a Facebook Live Chat at 5 PM Eastern time (or 2 PM here on the West Coast.)
This is being done in conjunction with Classic Movie Hub, and you can find the page by clicking here. Or mark down the URL address directly to copy/paste in later -- http://facebook.com/ClassicMovieHub. There will be a conversation and then a Q&A later for people sending in questions. Vicki is a smart, eloquent, profoundly personable speaker, in fact one of the most kind-hearted, nurturing people I know. And she's accomplished in her own right -- including writing such TV movies as My Antonia, producing Member of the Wedding and serving as President of the Writers Guild of America, as well as being a former practicing psychologist, an international board member for 12 years of Human Rights Watch -- at one point, its president -- and recipient of the WGA's Valentine Davies Award for "bringing honor to writers everywhere." So, if you're interested in the classic period of the Golden Age of Hollywood or an interesting discussion about movies (which I'm certain this will be, having heard Vicki participate in such events before), mark the day down and bookmark the Facebook page. For anyone interested in the book itself, you can find it here.
