Reporters Lee Shephard And Chuck Langdon Interview Director Barry Levinson
Barry is the highly acclaimed director of such classic American films as DINER, AVALON, WAG THE DOG, and RAINMAN, for which he won a 1988 Academy Award for Best Director.
Barry was in Washington for the 50th anniversary of the local Emmy Awards. Shephard and Langdon both worked with Barry in the mid 60’s at WTOP-TV, where Barry got his first job in the station’s “training program.” The 10 minute interview is about those days as a 50 dollar a week “trainee.”
