It’s a walk down memory lane and a look to the future with very special guest MONIKA HENREID. No stranger to TCM and classic film fans, Monika is the daughter of none other than the legendary Paul Henreid; the man who lit two cigarettes and gave Bette Davis the stars in “Now, Voyager” and who played Victor Laszlo in the unforgettable “Casablanca.” But did you know that Paul Henreid is also an acclaimed director whose biggest directorial successes were probably in tv given his over 300 directorial episodes, most notably with westerns like “The Big Valley”, “Iron Horse”, “Johnny Ringo” and “Maverick”? But there’s more to Paul Henreid than what we see in front of, and behind, the lens, and Monika is here to not only shed some insight into her father, but talk about her love letter to him – a documentary.
An actress and filmmaker in her own right, Monika brings her personal and professional insight to PAUL HENREID BEYOND VICTOR LASZLO: A DAUGHTER’S MEMOIR. Take a listen as she tells of her own travels to her parents’ homeland of Austria as she embarks on a journey to tell the unknown story of Paul Henreid, and then her own memories of working for and with her father. Timed to release with the 75th anniversary of Paul’s most famous films, “Now, Voyager” and “Casablanca”, get a sneak peak now with what we have to look forward to in the documentary. From personal remembrances to anecdotes, you won’t want to miss a minute of Monika!
Plus hear more from Jack Huston as he talks his own legacy and the role of Judah Ben-Hur, and hear the passion of Rodrigo Santoro talking his role as Jesus Christ in BEN-HUR in excerpts of my exclusive interview with him. For an added treat, hear what producer John Legend, writer/director Richard Tanne and the talented cast of SOUTHSIDE WITH YOU had to tell me about the best non-date first date ever with this moment in time in the story of Michelle and Barack Obama.
