The Hollywood landscape is littered with tragedies, broken promise and self-destruction. Many promising artists stumble once and never recover from that initial fall. In the history of American film, there has never been a phoenix-like story of survival and rebirth quite like that of Dennis Hopper.
Surrounded by some of the film, art and political world’s most significant players: James Dean, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Martin Luther King, Marlon Brando, John Wayne, Miles Davis, and dozens of other legendary names; Hopper discusses his impressions and interactions with them all in Part 1 of this expose of Hollywood history.

Patrick Swayze passed ten years ago today, September 14, 2009, at age 57. Of the over 600 people I've interviewed since 1996, Patrick was, by far, the nicest. A real person. No pretense. No diva, movie star nonsense. Just another guy that I was having a chat with. In a time when we see ex-Nazis (and other despots) living to the century mark, the untimely passing of someone like Patrick Swayze is made all that much more palpable. Our interview is recreated here and, I hope, captures the spirit of our meeting.

Even the most seasoned (and jaded) journalists are faced with a subject who brings butterflies to the stomach, akin to what we felt at our first school dance. The prospect of chatting with the iconic Lauren Bacall had this effect on me. It was 2007 and Bacall had just finished work on Paul Schrader’s “The Walker,” opposite Woody Harrelson. Our chat on the phone became one of the great conversations, and personal connections, of my life. Most journalists avoid “phoners” whenever possible, as a conversation via Alexander Graham Bell (or Verizon) is rarely as intimate or revealing as a one-on-one chat. Originally, I was to interview Miss Bacall (aka “Betty” to her friends) at The Four Seasons in Beverly Hills. A longtime New Yorker who resided in the iconic Dakota Apartment Building, she had cancelled all LA press due a cold. Her publicist offered me twenty minutes on the phone as a consolation, and of course, I said “yes.”
After 90 minutes of extraordinary conversation, this episode of The Hollywood Interview covers a vast and golden age of Hollywood as Bacall recounts it, from Bogart to Hemingway, Bette Davis to Robert F. Kennedy. Bacall responds to Alex’s deep filmic knowledge with stories never heard before. Names drip from her lips like Hepburn and Harold Pinter, John Huston and Howard Hawks, Kirk Douglas and Woody Harrelson. Directors like Robert Altman and Lars Van Treer. Lauren Bacall also shares her political disappointments and hopes for the future. Her political comments still ring true.

Sidney Lumet was the first director I interviewed whose one-sheet posters hung on my wall as a kid. He was an idol, an icon, and an inspiration. I wasn't yet 30 in April 1997, when I met him at The Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills for our interview at the press junket for "Night Falls On Manhattan," one of his solid, authentic urban dramas that blended crime, politics and personal revelations that became his signature. Lumet's body of work is one that will carry on for the ages, and remains one of the cinema's most diverse. It is unlikely, given the vast changes in the movie business since Lumet's entry, that another contemporary filmmaker will ever assemble one to rival it.
