This
captivating video gives rare insight into the creative energy and intelligence
that propelled the remarkable career of one of America's most accomplished actresses,
Geraldine Page. Ms. Page's five-decade stage career linked her with every major
writer and actor of our time, while her film roles garnered her eight Oscar
nominations, capped with an Oscar win for The Trip to Bountiful.
Using interviews, photographs, and feature film footage, as well as the enlightening comments of Oscar award-winning actor, F. Murray Abraham, the video traces Ms. Page's development from her childhood in depression-era Chicago, her awakenings to the challenge of theater as an art form, and the progression of her career on stage, screen and television. With exuberant and insightful commentary by Mr. Abraham, this is a rare opportunity to see how two actors view their craft and their profession.
