THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK
In Person: Star MILLIE PERKINS
Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the classic movie & the current Jewish New Year
Director George Stevens’ life-altering experience of witnessing the death camps after WWII was doubtless responsible for his desire to adapt the famed diary of the teenaged Jewish girl, brilliantly played by Millie Perkins.
MILLIE PERKINS was already an internationally famous model when director George Stevens cast her in the iconic title role in The Diary of Anne Frank. Her later performances include Wild in the Country with Elvis Presley, Monte Hellman’s classic westerns starring Jack Nicholson: The Shooting and Ride the Whirlwind, the cult classic Wild in the Streets, and Oliver Stone’s Wall Street. Ms. Perkins will be interviewed by Foster Hirsch, author and pioneer in the establishment of academic film criticism. Program curated by Dr. Jud Newborn, CAC Special Projects Curator and Founding Historian, Museum of Jewish Heritage NY
