This is PART 1 of 2 episodes where Ben speaks with Emmy award-winning writer and director, Joan Darling (M*A*S*H*, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The President's Analyst). Joan is a world-respected trailblazer; a female director in the blooming era of 1960s film and television. Joan speaks of how invigorated she is by the truthful art-form of not knowing what's around the corner, and losing her breath with shock and delight. Be overtaken with surprise and wonder at how Joan connects the universal dots between acting and just being who we all are at our very core: hilarious.
