Bonus Weekend Podcast: Judith Jones

The Leonard Lopate Show | Aug 5, 2017

We were greatly saddened to hear about the death of the legendary editor Judith Jones, who worked with Julia Child, Marcella Hazan, Lidia Bastianich, and many others. She rose to prominence when she rescued the manuscript of the English translation of Anne Frank's "The Diary of A Young Girl" from the reject pile. We had her on our show a number of times, and we are revisiting those interviews now.
