Some times life is even more fascinating than fiction. Behind the mystique of "Sunset Boulvard" is a nuanced parallel story of a fading star, her unrequited love for a stunning younger man, and the gay love story it complicated. This story is not fiction, however, it was real. Dickson Hughes and Richard Stapley were two young songwriters and romantic partners in the 1950s. They found themselves caught in movie star Gloria Swanson's web when she hired them to write a musical version of “Sunset Boulevard" long before the Andrew Lloyd Webber version was even imagined.  Life imitated art when Gloria fell in love with Richard, and  Dixon and Richard found themselves trapped in a strange real life version of the classic Wilder film. Jeffrey Schwartz has brought the true story to life in the documentary Boulevard! A Hollywood Story, now streaming on iTunes and Apple+.  He is here with us today to talk about this true life romantic triangle and telling the world a new version of Sunset Boulevard. Jeffrey is an Emmy Award-winning producer, director and editor. His previous documentaries include “The Fabulous Allan Carr,” which premiered at the 2017 Seattle International Film Festival, the 2015 SXSW premiere “Tab Hunter Confidential,” the Emmy Award-winning HBO Documentary Films' “Vito,” “I Am Divine,” currently streaming on Netflix, “Wrangler: Anatomy of an Icon,” currently streaming on Amazon Prime, and the 2007 AFI Fest Documentary Audience Award winner “Spine Tingler! The William Castle Story.” With co-host Brody Levesque

It's summer, and every other week, members of the Here's The Thing staff are selecting their favorite interviews from the archives. This week, we revisit Alec's interviews with two extraordinary women in media, Sheila Nevins and Tina Brown, recorded in 2017.  Sheila Nevins was the head of HBO Documentary Films from 1979 until 2018 and now leads MTV Documentary Films.  She has overseen the production of literally hundreds of documentaries, which have won dozens of Oscars, exerting more influence on the medium than perhaps anyone in its history.  Tina Brown is a journalist, editor and author, with her work ranging from memoir to biography, including her most recent book, “The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor - The Truth and the Turmoil.”  As the founder of Talk magazine and editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, Tatler and The New Yorker, the British-born Brown brought her fresh observations and sharp wit to both the revered publications she led and New York society.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today I'm joined by Michael John Warren to discuss SPRING AWAKENING: THOSE YOU'VE KNOWN 15 years after the smash, Tony-winning Broadway run of “Spring Awakening,” the original cast and creative team reunite for a spectacular, one-night only reunion concert to benefit The Actors Fund. Chronicling their whirlwind journey back to the stage, the film follows the players as they reconnect and rediscover the beauty and timelessness of the hit musical, sharing the show's underdog origins, its path to Tony glory, the universal themes of teenage repression and angst, and the unconventional love story of breakout stars Jonathan Groff and Lea Michele. The documentary pulls back the curtain to showcase the reunited original cast and creative team at rehearsals, in their homes and backstage. The film features electrifying performances from the reunion concert in November 2021, newly filmed interviews, candid archival video and photographs, as well as performance footage from the original 2006 show that went on to sweep the Tonys, winning eight awards, including Best Musical. “Spring Awakening” forever changed the lives of the mostly unknown teenage cast and inspired a generation of fans by laying bare taboo issues of teen love, abortion, abuse, sexual identity and suicide in an unapologetic, edgy rock musical set in the 1890s. HBO Documentary Films' SPRING AWAKENING: THOSE YOU'VE KNOWN , directed by Michael John Warren and produced by RadicalMedia (HBO's “David Byrne's American Utopia”), debuts TUESDAY, MAY 3 (9:00-10:23 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/followingfilms/support

The Two Gay Geeks

HBO Documentary Films' THE LADY AND THE DALE, a four-part documentary series from Emmy(R)-winning producers Mark and Jay Duplass (HBO's "Room 104") and directed by Nick Cammilleri and Zackary Drucker, traces the audacious story of Elizabeth Carmichael, a larger-than-life entrepreneur who rose to prominence during the 1970s oil crisis with her promotion of a fuel-efficient, three-wheeled car known as The Dale. At a time when three big American automobile manufacturers ruled the road, Liz launched a futurist vehicle that promised to get 70 miles to the gallon. Her promotional zeal thrust her into fierce public and media scrutiny which uncovered a web of mystery and suspicion about the car's technology and her own checkered past. THE LADY AND THE DALE is a probing exploration of family and identity seen through the lens of the rise and fall of a fearless and wily innovator, an extraordinarily resilient woman and a dedicated parent. Co-director Zackary Drucker (Nick Cammilleri) joins us for a conversation on one of the more convoluted personal stories and one of the most shameless schemes in American business history. For news and updates go to: hbo.com/documentaries/the-lady-and-the-dale The series debuts with two back-to-back episodes SUNDAY, JANUARY 31 (9:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT), with new episodes airing subsequent Sundays at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. THE LADY AND THE DALE will premiere on HBO and be available to stream on HBO Max.

Police officer Gilberto Valle opens the door to find his house surrounded by the FBI. His wife had discovered gruesome stories of kidnap and cannibalism that Valle had written about more than 100 women in an online forum.Among the stories, the wife found a detailed description of how Valle wanted to cook her alive and eat her. Valle argued that he never intended to hurt anyone and that it was all fantasy. He was sentenced to life in prison but was later released.

For decades, she ran HBO Documentary Films, producing over a thousand and winning more prime-time Emmies than any other person, clearly reflecting her love of the form. “No! I hate documentaries. I didn’t like documentaries at all. I wanted to do things that people watched; I wanted to get patted on the back; I wanted to make money.” And yet . . .

Sheila Nevins, longtime President of HBO Documentary Films has spent years telling other people's stories. But in this episode she opens up about her own. We have a no-holds-barred conversation on what it was like to be a career-driven woman in the 1970s, the #MeToo movement, her relationship with money, and her feelings about aging. In Mailbag, saving before you start investing, and couples compromising on debt tolerances.

Sheila Nevins is one of the most powerful forces in showbiz. As President of HBO Documentary Films, Sheila has made some of the most fascinating documentaries ever made. Some of her recent movies include Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, Nothing Left Unsaid, Diana, Our Mother. She has received 32 Emmy Awards (more than any other single person) and 26 Academy Awards—among other accolades. Married with a son, Sheila has defied the odds, remaining at the helm of HBO for decades. And she just did it again. At 78, she has written her first book, You Don’t Look Your Age...And other Fairy Tales. It is candid, funny, and poignant—and details her climb to the top, how she has managed to stay there and her strategy for working in a youth-oriented industry.

To say that Sheila Nevins has been influential in the documentary film industry would be a vast understatement. She has supervised the production of more than 1,000 documentary programs for HBO and has won countless Emmy Awards, Academy Awards and Peabody Awards. Nevins has always been comfortable telling the stories of others, but that hasn't always been true about sharing her own story

As head of HBO Documentary Films since 1979, Sheila Nevins has exerted more influence on the medium than perhaps anyone in its history. She has overseen the production of literally hundreds of documentaries, which have won dozens of Oscars. Whether shot in a war zone or the back of a taxi, Sheila Nevins’ productions are powerful, brazen, and unflinchingly honest. But when it comes to telling her own story, truth gets trickier. As she explains to Here’s The Thing host Alec Baldwin, in her new book, You Don’t Look Your Age and Other Fairy Tales, Sheila Nevins blends fiction and reality.

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Sheila Nevins of HBO Documentary Films , Author of YOU DON'T LOOK YOUR AGE YOU DON'T LOOK YOUR AGE and Other Fairy Tales  ...an incredibly surprising, funny and poignant collection of short stories, essays, and poetry that, taken together, tell not only her life story—but the life stories of a generation of women. Sheila Nevins  …An American television producer and President of HBO Documentary Films, she has produced over one thousand documentary films for HBO and is one of the most influential people in documentary filmmaking. She has worked on productions that have been recognized with 32 Prime Time Emmys, 37 News and Doc Emmys, 42 Peabody Awards, and 26 Academy Awards.    

When Sheila Nevins started her career in the 1960s, she didn't know women could be bosses. After all, she'd only ever worked for male supervisors. Now, at 78, she's the president of HBO Documentary Films. Sheila joins Katie and Brian for an unflinching conversation about everything from her painful childhood memories to her plastic surgery. Plus, they discuss what makes a great documentary and listen to celebrities read excerpts from Sheila's new book. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

Conversation with President of HBO Documentary Films, Sheila Nevins, about her new book 'You Don't Look Your Age...and Other Fairy Tales' which is part memoir, part poem, and full on truth telling.

Sheila Nevins's educational background was in English literature and theater. But she found herself drawn to television, and to telling the extraordinary stories of ordinary people. After her early career working for several employers including the US Information Agency, PBS, CBS and Time-Life Films, Nevins found her home at HBO in 1979, where she was hired as the fledgling pay network's first director of documentaries and given the freedom to produce them with her own unique approach to storytelling. Almost forty years and more than 500 films later, as President of HBO Documentary Films, Nevins is still flourishing, with a body of work that has earned scores of Emmys, Oscars and Peabodys. This interview was taped in July 2001.

The single most influential person in the history of doc filmmaking reflects on how a gig that was to last 13 weeks has gone on for more than 30 years, how the arrival of Vice at HBO and the rise of streaming services like Netflix and Amazon has impacted her division and what she thinks the future holds — for her, her division and doc filmmaking in general.

Sheila Nevins is a lover and a fighter. When she joined HBO in its early years, the label “documentary” evoked something educational.

Here's a flashback episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Ausar Ra Black Hawk for the week of May 2, 2016 [originally broadcast during the week of February 8, 2012] with some new and classic music from the international Black Diaspora, news and commentary. Our commentary during that week touched base on the recent unearthing of a 50-year old lost Malcolm X speech audio, our personal reviews of the big budget Tuskegee Airmen movie "Red Tails", the possible Daft Punk/Nile Rodgers upcoming album and some other diverse topics here and there.

The film covers the drama, history & the current state of interracial marriage and tolerance in the United States through the personal story of the Lovings, who back in the 1960s fought for the right to live as a married couple regardless of their racial backgrounds all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Their case struck down a lot of the anti-miscegenation laws throughout the country. For more information about "The Loving Story", go to the film's official website, http://www.LovingFilm.com.

Now available on DVD, VOD & SHOWTIME, bitingly satirical feminist horror/comedy CHASTITY BITES is as clever as its title.Joining us to talk blood and abstinence are the film's writer/producer LOTTI PHARRISS KNOWLES, director JOHN V. KNOWLES, and co-star, Countess Elizabeth Bathory herself, LOUISE GRIFFITHS.In the 1600's, Countess Elizabeth Bathory slaughtered more than 600 young women, believing that if she bathed in the blood of virgins she would stay young and beautiful forever. Still alive today, she's found a perfect hunting ground as an abstinence educator in conservative America, and the young ladies of San Griento High are poised to be her next victims. But will her unholy ritual finally be stopped by Leah Ratliff (Allison Scagliotti), feminist blogger and ambitious reporter for the school paper?Louise Griffiths made her 2006 film debut in '06 horror movie THE DEVIL'S CHAIR, booked her first lead role in dark comedy THE REVENANT, and appeared in ALL'S FAIRE IN LOVE, starring Christina Ricci and Matthew Lillard.

In its landmark 1963 decision Gideon v. Wainwright, the Supreme Court mandated the right to counsel in federal and state criminal proceedings. Fifty-one years after that unanimous decision, some question whether Gideon's promise has been fulfilled, as public defenders struggle against heavy caseloads, limited resources and low pay. On this episode of Lawyer2Lawyer, hosts Bob Ambrogi and J. Craig Williams interview Jonathan Rapping, founder of the Atlanta-based public defender training program Gideon's Promise, and Dawn Porter, director and producer of the documentary Gideon's Army. Together they discuss the daily rigors faced by public defenders in the south, their personal beliefs about unequal access to justice, and their ideas about how to better deliver on the promise of Gideon. Jonathan Rapping is the president and founder of Gideon's Promise, a training and support group for public defenders in the south aimed at creating greater access to justice for indigent defendants. He is also the director of the Honors Program in Criminal Justice at Atlanta's John Marshall Law School, where he teaches criminal law and criminal procedure. Rapping is the former director of public defender training programs in the District of Columbia, Georgia, and Louisiana. He is the recipient of the Lincoln Leadership Award from Kentucky's Department of Public Advocacy, the Sentencing Project Award from the National Association of Sentencing Advocates and Mitigation Specialists, and the Gideon's Promise Award from the Southern Center for Human Rights. Dawn Porter is a lawyer and the founder of Trilogy Films. She was the director and producer of the award-winning Gideon's Army, a documentary about public defenders associated with Gideon's Promise, which premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival and aired on HBO Documentary Films. Prior to beginning her film and television career, Porter worked as an attorney at Baker and Hostetler and ABC Television Network. Among her many projects, she directed "Spies of Mississippi," a documentary on PBS about celebrity Chef Alexandra Guarnaschelli; produced "Serious Moonlight" starring Meg Ryan and Timothy Hutton; and produced "The Green," an independent feature starring Cheyenne Jackson (from 30 Rock) and Emmy-winning actress Julia Ormond.

Our commentary this week touched base on the recent unearthing of a 50-year old lost Malcolm X speech audio, our personal reviews of the big budget Tuskegee Airmen movie "Red Tails", the possible Daft Punk/Nile Rodgers upcoming album and some other diverse topics here and there. We also has a special interview related to the upcoming HBO Documentary Films premiere of "The Loving Story", with director/producer Nancy & daughter of Richard and Mildred Loving, Peggy Loving. The film covers the drama, history & the current state of interracial marriage and tolerance in the United States through the personal story of the Lovings, who back in the 1960s fought for the right to live as a married couple regardless of their racial backgrounds all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Their case struck down a lot of the anti-miscegenation laws throughout the country. For more information about "The Loving Story", go to the film's official website, http://www.LovingFilm.com.
