“The Queen of Versailles"
The Leonard Lopate Show | Jul 11, 2012
Director Lauren Greenfield talks about her new documentary “The Queen of Versailles,” about Jackie and David Siegel, who start building the biggest house in America—a 90,000 sq. ft. mega-mansion, but their empire, fueled by the real estate bubble and cheap money, falters in the wake of the economic crisis. “The Queen of Versailles” opens July 20 at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center and the Angelika Film Center.
