Summary
Earlier this month, the entertainment world suffered a tremendous loss with the passing of Norman Lear. At 101 years old, he never stopped working and creating. Known for creating popular series such as All in the Family and The Jeffersons, Norman Lear has been one of my biggest inspirations in this business. I am so tremendously honored to have known him and been able to interview him on Industry Standard. I hope his words and stories inspire you the way they did for me.
