"Few of Studs Terkel's millions of readers around the world know that over the last forty-five years, as part of his nationally syndicated radio show, Terkel has interviewed some of the greatest luminari of film and theater. The Spectator collects those interviews in print for the first time."--BOOK JACKET.

"The Spectator gives us a firsthand look at the actors, directors, playwrights, dancers, lyricists, and others who have created the dramatic arts of the past half-century. And, because Studs knows his subjects' work intimately, he asks precisely the questions that elicit the most revealing responses."--BOOK JACKET.
