She spoke to WNYC's Sara Fishko in 2014 about those years, and the bizarre circumstances of her return to stardom. (Produced in 2014) Lee Grant: Actor. Filmmaker. begins at Film Forum on Saturday, November 17 and continues through February 12, with appearances by Grant on opening night and select dates. Lee Grant's book, I Said Yes to Everything: A Memoir, is available on Amazon.
