Academy Award winning actor and director Lee Grant will be my guest in The Locher Room.

Grant’s films have become some of the most influential of the New Hollywood era. A survivor of the Hollywood Blacklist, she is the first female director to be honored by the Director’s Guild of America. She is well known to movie audiences for her roles in some of the most recognizable series and films of the last 60 years including In the Heat of the Night, The Valley of the Dolls, Peyton Place, Search for Tomorrow, Colombo, and Shampoo, for which she won an Academy Award. Her work as a director was also groundbreaking, earning an Oscar for the documentary Down and Out in America.

Ms. Grant will be here to discuss her incredible career and the 2020 re-release of her work behind the camera, 20th Century Woman: The Documentary Films of Lee Grant. The collection became America’s first virtual repertory film series as Grant continues to break ground even now. She will be seen in the upcoming music film Killian & the Comeback Kids in theaters this fall.
