EVENT DETAILS
By the time she was in her mid-20s, Lee Grant was a newly-married mother, an Academy Award-nominated actress, and a celebrated Broadway star—and then she lost everything. Landing on Hollywood’s infamous blacklist, Grant began a 12-year fight to reclaim her name, accepting every theater or teaching job that came her way. In an intimate conversation, Grant recounts the defining moments of her memorable career—from her fight against the Hollywood blacklist to her triumphant return to the silver screen—and shares stories of the friendships she built with icons such as Warren Beatty, Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, and Sidney Poitier, among others.
Lee Grant is an Academy Award-winning actress and the author of I Said Yes to Everything: A Memoir. Antonio Monda teaches in the Film and Television Department at New York University. He has directed several documentaries, including the award-winning feature film Dicembre, which was presented at the Venice Film Festival.
