Lee Grant I Said Yes To Everything

She was one of the first women of Hollywood to hold her own. It opened the door for her to reach beyond acting and straight into directing. But what happens when Hollywood is accused of being connected to Communism? Her life suddenly went silent. But the fight to succeed didn't. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Hollywood legend Lee Grant. I SAID YES TO EVERYTHING is both a compelling memoir of a singular life and an affecting universal story of a tenacious woman overcoming considerable obstacles to come into her own. It offers a revealing and highly personal glimpse into some of the most fraught days of America’s political history, as well as a time when women were just beginning to assert their own worth and to break into the top levels of the film business. Through it all, Lee Grant navigates her travails, triumphs, and romances with heart and humor, embracing kismet and celebrating life.
