About this episode

MLVC speaks with director, producer and writer Susan Seidelman! After her breakout film Smithereens landed her at the Cannes Film Festival, Susan's follow-up film was directing Madonna & Rosanna Arquette in the 1985 hit film "Desperately Seeking Susan." And since that movie, Susan went on to direct many films and tv shows and now she's published a memoir titled "Desperately Seeking Something" from MacMillan Publishing, which chronicles leaving her life in Huntingdon Valley, PA for the film industry in NYC. Hear all about her life and her new book in this fantastic interview!

"Desperately Seeking Something" is available wherever you buy books.
