I follow The New Yorker on Twitter and it popped up yesterday, found it very interesting and wanted to share. Pretty disappointing that I didn't learn about her in my film class in college, although that was over 20 years ago so I could have forgotten, but I think I would have remembered her name and the subject of the film as not only was she a famous actress but also a director, which was highly unusual for that time period, I would think.
That's what I love about The New Yorker; I always find myself learning something new and interesting from the past and present on various subjects. They also have great book recommendations. This is one I read years ago that they gave a great review on...I've recommended it to several of my friends, sisters, my Mom, my Grandmother and they all loved it...men would enjoy it too. The author is obviously liberal as it's set in the eighties and several negative comments about Reagan are made by one of the main characters:

Thanks for the rec!
