Harvey Brownstone Interviews Henry Jaglom, Renowned Writer & Director
Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Henry Jaglom, Renowned Writer & Director
About Harvey's guest:
Today’s guest, Henry Jaglom, is a renowned and highly respected writer, director and playwright, whose body of work reflects his life long dedication to truth, honesty and authenticity in his artistic expression.
He trained with Lee Strasberg at The Actor’s Studio in New York, where he acted, wrote and directed plays. He then made his way to Hollywood, first as an actor in movies including “Psych-Out”, “Drive, He Said”, and “The Last Movie”, and then as a filmmaker. He wrote and directed such classics as “A Safe Place”, “Sitting Ducks”, “Tracks”, “Can She Bake a Cherry Pie”, “Eating”, “Last Summer in the Hamptons”, “New Year’s Day”, “Hollywood Dreams”, “Deja Vu”, and my personal favourite, “Train to Zakopané”.
He’s worked with some amazing actors including Jack Nicholson, Lee Grant, Maximillian Schell, Dennis Hopper, Roddy McDowell, Vanessa Redgrave, Faye Dunaway, David Duchovny – and he made 3 movies with Orson Welles, with whom he formed a deep friendship. In fact, in 2014, a fascinating book by film historian Peter Biskind was released, entitled, “My Lunches with Orson”, based on a series of previously unreleased recordings, of private conversations between our guest and Orson Welles every week over lunch at the famous “Ma Maison” restaurant in Hollywood. The book provides the most riveting and revealing insight into the enigmatic, wickedly witty and restlessly intelligent person that Orson Welles really was.
Our guest is widely considered to be a cinematic genius and a true maverick of American cinema – so much so, that he’s the subject of a fascinating 1995 documentary entitled, “Who is Henry Jaglom?” Well, my friends, you’re about to find out.
