TMS Presents Oscar winner, Jeremy Larner - Jan. 26, 2011
Oscar-winning screenwriter, Jeremy Larner, will be our next guest for the TMS Presents series, January 26, 2011 - 7 to 8 pm. Jeremy won an Oscar for "The Candidate", the classic political campaign film starring Robert Redford -- set in California, with a production office based in Mill Valley! Join us for an evening of film clips and conversation with Jeremy, who has been an insider both in Washington DC and Hollywood from the early 1960s, and whose insights are as sharp and relevant as ever. Admission is free of charge, doors open at 6:30 pm - RSVP to kridge@themarinschool.org.
Jeremy was speechwriter for Senator Eugene McCarthy when that campaign knocked LBJ out of the presidential race in 1968. He also was the "life" magazine reporter at the politically-charged Mexico Olympics and an award-winning novelist. He co-wrote, with Jack Nicholson, the screenplay for the only film Nicholson ever directed, "Drive, He Said", based on Jeremy's novel of the same name. As if all that isn't enough, Jeremy is also a published poet.
Jeremy will also appear for an event with our students during the day: "From the Rise of JFK to the Fall of Nixon: An Inside View of American Politics, 1960-75." We'll be exploring not only that key time in history, but the effects is still has today, and the lessons to be learned from those connections.
