As Fresh Air said, today is Mel Brooks day. Tonight is the premiere of Mel Brooks: Make a Noise, part of the American Masters series on PBS (check local listings). It will be available on DVD May 21 from Shout Factory.
Last week, 92Y presented the first New York screening of it and to celebrate, Mel joined us via Skype and was interviewed with Susan Stroman, director of the hit Broadway musical The Producers, and Robert Trachtenberg, the director of the PBS biography, by Joy Behar. Watch!
Some great photos from our green room last night, for An Evening with Sidney Poitier. Pictured in photo at left is Mark Ethan, Sidney Poitier and Annette Insdorf. Pictured at right is Sidney Poitier and Susan Engel, 92Y Director of Lectures. Here’s another photo from last night with Sherrod Small and Mr. Poitier, and another with his book publicist Michelle Jasmine. A lot of people took photos.
And just because it’s one of the coolest photos ever, here’s a great snap of Sidney Poitier, Tony Curtis, Sammy Davis Jr, & Jack Lemmon.
