It was a pleasure meeting with Pulitzer Prize winning author Doris Kearns Goodwin and producer Beth Laski today. I’m happy to report the documentary project we’re working on for the 250th anniversary of the country entitled Plain Genius: The Women Who Built America is moving quickly toward production.
A gentleman at the restaurant where we had lunch took a picture of the three of us. Doris and Beth are of normal height, I’m the size of Hagrid from the Harry Potter films. I could hunt geese with a rake. When I was in college I can’t tell you how often I heard, “Wow, you’re so tall. I bet it’s hard for you to date.” My height was the least of my worries.
