We had a great conversation with producer Emily Wachtel who created and produced “The Last Movie Stars,” a beautiful and moving 6-part docuseries that takes us behind the curtain of these two iconic stars, Paul Newman, and Joanne Woodward. We learn so much about who they were as people, and it pays tribute to their legacies as actors, activists, philanthropists, parents, and friends. Emily shares how the series came about, landing Ethan Hawke as the director and wonderful insider stories on the making of this 6-part series. Emily is also a lifelong friend of the Newman/Woodward family and shares many wonderful personal anecdotes. Enjoy the podcast and watch the series, now streaming on HBO Max.
