There were a few, "are you serious" moments to discuss for this week's show! Rapper Lil Wayne was arrested and charged on Tuesday with one count of possessing a firearm and ammunition as a felon. The charge stems from a search of a private jet in Miami last December. If convicted the rapper faces up to 10 years in prison. Another one may bite the dust! Nippsey Hussle's "Marathon" Store was recently vandalized and looted. In a video circulating online, the store is seen, but all the windows are broken, and there is glass shattered everywhere. Hussle was gunned down outside of the South Los Angeles clothing store. His alleged shooter, Eric Holder Jr., is in a Los Angeles County jail awaiting a trial. The spring trial has been delayed due to COVID-19. A grand jury indicted Holder for murder for Hussle's killing and attempted murder after two men who were standing next to the rapper were injured. Holder has pleaded not guilty. Say it ain't so! Michael B. Jordan was named People's 'Sexiet Man Alive 2020.' I guess for the ladies, nothing more would need to be said about this. Jeezy vs. Gucci...who you got? The epic showdown will be this Thursday (Nov. 19th)!! The legendary director, Spike Lee is going to be at the helm of a musical movie about the origin story of the Viagra: the first drug to treat erectile dysfunction. While he seems quite excited by the project, Spike declined to draw a personal connection to the film’s subject matter. This should be very interesting from Spike Lee's perspective. In a Sunday Instagram and Twitter update, 50 Cent thanked his followers for “praying for my Boy” Jeremih, who was previously admitted to an intensive care unit in Chicago during his ongoing battle seemingly with COVID-19. Jeremih is one of several celebrities to have contracted the novel coronavirus this year. Among the survivors are Idris Elba, Sara Bareilles, Scarface, Pink, Daniel Dae Kim, Andy Cohen, Babyface and Tom Hanks — who, along with his wife, Rita Wilson, was one of the first entertainment figures to go public with a COVID-19 diagnosis in March. COVID has also taken the lives of a number of stars, including Adam Schlesinger, Patricia Bosworth, Ellis Marsalis Jr., Terrence McNally, Floyd Cardoz, John Prine, Fred the Godson and Broadway actor Nick Cordero, who died after a long battle in July. Blessings to Jeremih! For the "HOT TAKE" this week, we had special guest and entertainment manager, Erv Smith. Check him out @ervmgm everywhere for more information on the latest and greatest on him and his artists! Drop a comment on your thoughts!

Alec and Patti Bosworth became friends serving together on the board of the Actors Studio.  When Bosworth died of complications from COVID-19, it wasn't just a loss to the literary and theatrical worlds; it was also personal for Alec and the rest of Bosworth's wide circle of friends and family.  Not just a legendary Hollywood biographer, Bosworth also released an impossible-to-put-down memoir in two parts about her glamorous, tragic personal life and her time with the biggest names in Hollywood and the literary world.  Characters range from Marlon Brando to Mario Puzo to Robert Frost.  When Bosworth published the second installment of that memoir, The Men in My Life, in 2017, it was natural for her to stop by Here's the Thing to tell some of the stories in person, including her transition from Hollywood leading lady to respected journalist.  We're honored to re-release that conversation today.

The actress, journalist, magazine editor, and biographer Patricia Bosworth passed away in April, 2020 at the age of eighty-six, a victim of the coronavirus. We listen back to an interview from 2018 recorded after the publication of her second memoir.

Episode 354 also includes an E.W. Essay titled "Wonderous." We share an Original Radio Play titled "Orientation" written by our Associate Producer Dr. Michael Pavese and performed by Marnie Azzarelli. We have an E.W.poem called "Repose." Our music this go round is provided by these wonderful artists: Django Reinhard, Stephane Grapelli, Aimee Mann, Gram Parsons, Caravan Palace, Grizzly Bear, David Bowie, Branford Marsalis and Terrence Blanchard.

This 2011 conversation is with Patricia Bosworth, author of "Jane Fonda: The Private Life of a Public Woman." Ms. Fonda is going strong at the age of 80, co-starring in the popular series "Grace and Frankie" with Lily Tomlin. She is among the most gifted, ambitious and controversial artists of her era.

Actor Estelle Parsons and actor/author Patricia Bosworth discuss the art of acting and their formative years of training at the legendary Actors Studio in the 1950's. Guest host is Jesse Green, Co-Chief Theatre Critic of The New York Times.

Patricia Bosworth is a journalist and biographer. Her latest book is The Men in My Life. “The [acting] rejections are hellish and ghastly. At least they were to me. And I got tired of being rejected so much and also tired of not being able to control my life. And as soon as I became a writer, I had this control, I felt more active, more energized. But it was a decision that took a long time coming.” Thanks to MailChimp, Squarespace, and Heaven's Gate for sponsoring this week's episode. @p_bosworth pbosworth.com Bosworth on Longform [00:05] Heaven's Gate [00:25] Snap Judgement [01:25] The Fest Presents: The Longform Podcast with special guest Zoe Chace [02:30] "Some Mother's Boy" (Atavist • Oct 2017) [3:10] Diane Arbus: A Biography (Afred A.

This week, Martha's guests are Brian Platzer, Joyce Maynard, and Patricia Bosworth.

Mark Twain once likened biographies to “the clothes and buttons of the man” saying “the biography of the man himself, cannot be written.” The quote is a favorite of Patricia Bosworth, a 1950s model-actor turned biographer known for capturing the lives of Diane Arbus, Montgomery Clift, and Marlon Brando. All three were revered and haunted by internal demons—a narrative she knows too well. Bosworth's own father, Bartley Crum, was a left-wing lawyer who famously defended the Hollywood before succumbing to his own psychological pain. It was her father's suicide, as well as her brother's six years earlier, that instilled a strong desire to seek out the stories of other tormented souls. Patricia Bosworth's latest book The Men in My Life turns that voyage inward, painting a picture of a resilient woman with a tragic story of her own.
