FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6th, 5PM - 6PM, Michael lindsaY-HOGG
Join us for a fireside chat with Michael Lindsay-Hogg at St. Bartholomew's Church.
Tickets cost $50 and include entry to the book fair.
About Sir. Michael:
If fame, though fleeting, matters at all, Michael Lindsay-Hogg is partly famous as the director who lured The Beatles up on the roof for their final-ever Concert as the climax to his film, Let It Be, which provided all the footage for Peter Jackson's epic "documentary about the making of a documentary," Get Back.
Michael's career began at the age of sixteen when he acted at the Stratford Connecticut Shakespeare Festival. He then attended Oxford University, leaving after a year to work with Orson Welles and act in the theatrical version of Chimes At Midnight.
Only a few years later, "through a combination of ambition, luck, and guile," he found himself directing Ready Steady Go at the age of 24. It has been called the "greatest live TV Rock and Roll show of all time."
Then because of friendships he'd made, Michael started directing the earliest videos for the greatest rock bands of the twentieth century. He directed several for The Beatles, including "Rain" and "Hey Jude," and then "Let It Be."
Michael spent 15 years with The Rolling Stones, directing their first video, "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and others through "Waiting On A Friend," as well as The Rolling Stones "Rock and Roll Circus." He also started The Who off with their first video, "Happy Jack."
Moving to TV drama, Michael received four BAFTA nominations. In 1981, he won as Co- Director for Brideshead Revisited.
In theatre, Michael received a Tony nomination for directing Whose Life Is It Anyway? Agnes of God ran for 15 months on Broadway. Then came Larry Kramer's groundbreaking drama about AIDS, The Normal Heart. Michael directed the first production at Joe Papp's Public Theatre in New York, where it caused a sensation.
He wrote and directed the film, The Object of Beauty with John Malkovich and Andie MacDowell. Roger Ebert called it "Cool and witty."
Michael's first memoir, Luck and Circumstance, was published by Knopf. He is currently working on a second.
He has been painting for 25 years and has had shows of his work in Los Angeles and London. His third show of paintings and drawings in Paris will be in Spring 2024.
