Abstract
The cover photo of this book depicts Steven Spielberg conferring with Whoopi Goldberg on the set of the director’s landmark classic, The Color Purple (1985). The film would not only have a profound impact on the career trajectories of both director and actor, but would mark a significant moment in the history of Classical Hollywood—from the 1920s to the waning years of the last century—as will be seen in this and many other interviews and conversations about films and filmmaking in this book.
“We had good talk, sir!”
—Samuel Johnson
