...about The Other Paul Williams (Part 3: Margot & The Gang)

Paul Williams, the director (not the songwriter or the rock critic or the architect…) shares excerpts and outtakes from his memoir “Harvard, Hollywood, Hitmen & Holy Men” currently available as part of the Screen Classics collection from the University Press Of Kentucky. Williams is the director of “The November Men” which World is Wrong listeners will already be familiar with, as well as films like “Out Of It” (1969) and “The Revolutionary” (1970) both starring a young Jon Voight. Williams, with his production partner Edward Pressman, was a producer of films like Brian DePalma’s “Sisters” & “The Phantom Of The Paradise” as well as Terrence Malick’s “Badlands”. Beyond the movies, Paul rode the many of the movements of 1960’s, 70’s & 80’s, both political and cultural, with characters as varied as Julie Christie and Huey P. Newton, Fidel Castro and most of the “important” directors associated with New Hollywood

If you’re interested in the story of New Hollywood, Paul’s memoir fills in some major gaps. And if you’re too lazy to read the book, this podcast will give you a taste of what you’re missing.

EPISODE THREE - MARGOT & THE GANG

When Paul and Margot Kidder fell in love in Hollywood in 1971 they found themselves at the center of a scene that included Brian DePalma, Martin Scorsese, Jack Nicholson, Jennifer Salt, Waldo Salt, Jill Clayburgh, Robert DeNiro, Harvey Keitel, Steven Spielberg, and Margot’s neighbors; producers Julia Phillips and her husband Michael. 

Paul wanted to start a commune. Everyone else wanted to get rich and famous.
