An entertainment icon on living a life of meaning

Title:
An entertainment icon on living a life of meaning
Speaker:
Norman Lear
Description:

Norman Lear touched the lives of millions with culture-altering sitcoms like "All in the Family," "The Jeffersons" and "Good Times," and films like The Princess Bride, This Is Spinal Tap and Stand By Me. His work pushed the boundaries of his era and gave a primetime voice to underrepresented Americans. In an intimate conversation with Eric Hirshberg, Lear shares with humility and humor how his early relationship with "the foolishness of the human condition" shaped his life and creative vision.
