Retired New York Daily News film critic Kathleen Carroll hails from the Adirondacks. In a call with her friend and Before You Go co-host Nicole Franklin, she talks of her start as a writer, her post-retirement career as a film festival co-founder and that tantalizing moment with Paul Newman.
For our Season 1 finale, we honor the words that often end our show: "Might be time to pick up the phone. There's no time like the present! What a gift."
Before You Go co-hosts Nicole Franklin and Bryant Monteilh introduce this episode with the delightful and colorful reviews of Kathleen Carroll as remembered in her book My Life in the Dark. Kathleen is a retired film critic from the New York Daily News who made so many industry friends and connections she decided to bring Hollywood to her hometown of Lake Placid, New York by co-founding the Lake Placid Film Forum. Nicole's time with Kathleen helped guide her career as an award-winning filmmaker as she took many cues from Kathleen's love of film and networking with legends behind the scenes.
We hope this episode reminds everyone that reminiscing with friends could be the most relaxing and rejuvenating part of the day. Thank you for listening to our storytelling series. See you in Season 2!
