This event is free and open to the public and will be held in person on Monday, March 18th at 4:00 PM in the Skylight Room (9100) of the CUNY Graduate Center, 365 Fifth Avenue. No registration necessary.
Sydney Ladensohn Stern is the author of Toyland: The High-Stakes Game of Toy Industry and Gloria Steinem: Her Passions, Politics, and Mystique. Stern's latest book, The Brothers Mankiewicz: Hope, Heartbreak and Hollywood Classics was noted by the Wall Street Journal as a "model biography" and film critic Molly Haskell called it a "fascinating dual portrait."
