CONNIE MARTINSON SHOW, THE {SEGMENT} {LILA GARRETT ON VANESSA REDGRAVE, "PLAYING FOR TIME"} (TV)
Summary
The second of two programs on this tape. A segment from "The Connie Martinson Show," in which the host interviews television writer, producer, director, and political activist Lila Garrett. Garrett touches on such topics as: her current cause -- publicizing and securing more support for a letter to CBS protesting the casting of Vanessa Redgrave as Jewish heroine and concentration camp survivor Fania Fenelon in the CBS television movie "Playing for Time"; Redgrave being anti-Israel; Redgrave having been hired by two Jews: the film's producer, Linda Yellen, and the film's writer, Arthur Miller; whether politics should be a part of art; whether Garrett's stand may affect her career; CBS President William S. Paley's reaction; Redgrave's belief that she can be anti-Israel while not anti-Jew; whether Palestinians deserve a homeland like the Jews; Garrett's goal in protesting Redgrave's casting; how Americans should deal with the situation in the Middle East; and why Garrett didn't protest Redgrave's previous portrayal of a Jew -- for which she won an Oscar -- in 1977's "Julia."
