Growing Up Fast

Tuesday, November 11, 2003

Francis Ford Coppola recalls “One from the Heart,” his 1982 musical fantasy and offbeat love story set in Las Vegas. Then W. Ralph Eubanks recalls the segregated Mississippi of his childhood. Joanna Lipper tells the life stories of six teen mothers, and joining her are Amy and Shayla, two young women who’ve experienced teen motherhood firsthand. And Mary Cleere Haran shares her interpretation of the Great American Songbook.


Francis Ford Coppola

Francis Ford Coppola’s controversial 1982 film “One from the Heart wasn’t widely seen at the time of its release, but it’s getting another chance – it’s been restored by American Zoetrope and is being re-released as a two-disc special edition.


W. Ralph Eubanks

W. Ralph Eubanks’ son once posed him this question: "Daddy, what's Mississippi like?" Ever is a Long Time: A Journey into Mississippi’s Dark Past is his answer. Mr. Eubanks is the Library of Congress's publishing director.

    According to Naomi Wolf, Joanna Lipper’s book Growing Up Fast “reads like a nineteenth-century novel about young women burdened by fates they did not choose.” On the show with Ms. Lipper are Amy and Shayla, two teenage mothers from Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

  • Events: Joanna Lipper’s film from her book, Growing up Fast will be screened tomorrow at 7:30 at the Makor/Steinhardt Building – 35 West 67th Street – and it will be followed by a panel discussion with some of the mothers profiled in the book.
