Kamla sits down to talk with journalist and author Jeannette Walls. Her memoir The Glass Castle is now a Hollywood film starring Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson, Naomi Watts and others. Walls and her family grew up poor and lived in a home without running water or electricity. She went on to study at New York’s Barnard College and became a journalist and a gossip columnist for MSNBC. Her memoir captures the hardships of growing up poor and the role of her parents in shaping her. We also have a highlight of an upcoming interview with filmmaker Alexandra Dean on her documentary Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story. Lamar was not just a beautiful actress, but also an inventor.
