Michael Cunningham, Evening

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of 1998's The Hours, Michael Cunningham had his bestseller about Virginia Woolf adapted into an Oscar-winning 2002 film version. He now adapts Susan Minot's bestseller Evening for its starry film version with Vanessa Redgrave, Claire Danes, Hugh Dancy, Tony Collette, Natasha Richardson, Meryl Streep, Aileen Atkins, and Patrick Wilson. Cunningham offers his take on his celebrity, the spotlight, and reviewers as well as the lure of Hollywood and what happens when gossip gets printed and taken for the truth.
