Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Colette Freedman discuss the following:
- You’ve had many interesting careers: all-American athlete, commercials director, actress and now writer. Why so many jobs?
- In your plays and now your book, you write about women in a really interesting way. Sister Cities is about four daughters and their relationship with their mother. The Affair is about 2 women and their relationship with the one man. What’s unique about the female perspective that lends to women making such good writers?
- During the research process for your book The Affair, what did you learn about how the internet age and social networking sites have changed how people have affairs?
- You’ve lived in LA for over a decade. How has it changed over time and does living there benefit the creative process?
- I see in your biography that you’ve traveled around the world. How has this affected you and where is your favorite travel destination?
