Shownotes
When we watch and think of movies, it's all about the actors, the celebrities, the directors. The people less talked about are the producers behind the scenes - the ones problem solving and quite literally making it all happen. Anahid Nazarian is one of those names. For over 30 years she's collaborated with Francis Ford Coppola; her screen credits include The Outsiders, The Godfather Part III, and Bram Stoker's Dracula. She's worked on screenplays with legendary writers like John Le Carre, Mario Puzo, and Paul Schrader. A self-described woman of few words, she opens up about how she got into the industry (as a librarian), what it's really like to produce a major film, and why Francis Ford Coppola is crazy - in a good way.
