    109 Adventures In The Screen Trade

    109 Adventures In The Screen Trade

    Episode 9 of our Season on the Life & Career of William Goldman pauses the chronology to spotlight his two Writing-On-Writing, On-Hollywood, KINDA-Autobiographies:  1983’s ‘Adventures In The Screen Trade’ and 2000’s ‘Which Lie Did I Tell?’  Where he takes us through his work, others’ work, even presents new work for peers to critique … and you bet we discuss his infamous “Nobody Knows Anything.”  But, then, remember what Orson Welles said about Biographies?

    107 The Doctor Is In

    Episode 7 of our Season on the Life & Career of William Goldman gets into the bulk of his script doctoring work (including a phonecall about 'The Silence Of The Lambs' and his time on a personal favorite: ‘Chaplin’).  And perhaps you’ve heard of his work on ‘Good Will Hunting?’  Then it’s HIS screenplays including – in his words – his Biggest Flop and – in my words – his Biggest Missed Opportunity.  And what did Abraham Lincoln mean with “This Too Shall Pass?”

    105 The Leper

    Episode 5 of our Season on the Life & Career of William Goldman – we’re Halfway Through! – gets into what Goldman himself called his Leper Period.  That is, Hollywood stopped calling.  But while there were NO Screenplays (one Teleplay), he produced SIX Novels ... including his Last.  Oh, and in Non Fiction?  We’ve arrived at his legendary, ‘Adventures In The Screen Trade.’  Now, when we say
    there were No Screenplays, that is Produced.  So the ones that weren’t?  Wait’ll you hear.
