All the President's Minutes is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film All The President's Men as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. For minute 137, I join four-time Oscar nominee, Tony Award winner and Theatre Hall-of-Famer, Jane Alexander. Jane and I discuss making of the Bookkeeper scene, how this is the only movie of hers that she'll rewatch and a Pakula directed Eleanor Roosevelt movie that might have been. About Jane Alexander (via Broadway Buzz) Jane Alexander has a distinguished stage career. She has performed in more than 100 plays, been honoured with numerous awards including her Tony Award for The Great White Hope, and Obie, Drama League, Drama Desk and Theatre World awards, and was inducted into the Theatre Hall of Fame in 1994. Jane last starred at Long Wharf Theater in the world premiere of Matthew Barber's play Fireflies. A four-time Oscar nominee for Testament, Kramer vs. Kramer, All the President's Men, and The Great White Hope, Ms. Alexander has appeared in over 75 screen and television roles. On television, Jane won Emmy Awards for Playing for Time, and Warm Springs, and a Television Critics Circle Award for her portrayal of Eleanor Roosevelt in "Eleanor and Franklin: The White House Years."
