  1. Movie review: 'Plimpton!' an engaging life story told in his words

    George Plimpton spent a lifetime stepping into other people's shoes. It's only fitting that he's finally talking about what it was like to walk in his own.
    George Plimpton spent a lifetime stepping into other people's shoes. It's only fitting that he's finally talking about what it was like to walk in his own. That this is possible, 10 years after his death in 2003 when Plimpton was a robust 76, is due...

  2. Michael McKean is a man of many comedic faces

    When he played Lenny on ABC's popular 1976-83 sitcom "Laverne & Shirley," Michael McKean realized he could easily become typecast as his dumb, lovable Fonzie wannabe and pal of the knuckleheaded Squiggy. He vowed not to let it happen.

  5. The Sunday Conversation: Blake Bailey rediscovers 'Lost Weekend' author

    In his new biography, "Farther and Wilder: The Lost Weekends and Literary Dreams of Charles Jackson," Blake Bailey explores the tormented life of the author of "The Lost Weekend" — the once-celebrated 1944 novel that led to the Oscar-winning film — and his plunge into literary obscurity.

  8. Gore Vidal says nice things about women in the new Vanity Fair

    In his prime, writer Gore Vidal didn't have much nice to say about people, and he enjoyed sharing his opinions. On live television in 1968, he referred to fellow commentator William F. Buckley as a  "crypto-Nazi" (Buckley responded by calling Vidal "queer" and threatening to punch him in the face). He dubbed Truman Capote "a full-fledged housewife from Kansas." Andy Warhol was "the only genius I've ever known with an I.Q. of 60."
