The Leonard Lopate Show
Coming to Fruition
Friday, May 18, 2007
Tony Award-winning actor Frank Langella talks about his portrayal of Richard Nixon in the Broadway hit Frost/Nixon. And on today's Please Explain, we get some expert advice on produce--from how to pick a ripe melon, to how to prepare an artichoke.
Frost/Nixon
In 1977, British television host David Frost spent 28 hours (over the course of several days) interviewing former President Richard Nixon. It was three years after Watergate, and the first interview Nixon had done since leaving office. Tony Award winner Frank Langella talks about recreating that dramatic, politically fraught show-down with his portrayal of Nixon in the Broadway hit Frost/Nixon.
