Leonard Lopate[‘s Stand-In] Interviews Lorraine Bracco (6/7)

Have been a fan of Bracco’s for years, before the Sopranos, as she’s got both a great voice and a great physical presence. Since she isn’t normally the subject of the gossip rags, I was unaware that she went through a horrific divorce and custody battle. Has a book out discussing such and her subsequent trips to therapy. It was an entertaining conversation to listen to but a little too much “since you play a psychiatrist on TV, what do you think of this?” on the part of the interviewer.

Leonard Lopate[‘s Stand-In] Interviews Robert Altman (6/9)

Interview was obviously focused on Altman’s latest “A Prairie Home Companion.” My dad gave it a favorable review, and this interview was really interesting, so I may head out to see it this weekend. If I can find two hours that are all right next to each other.
Altman is such an old rogue.
