    This episode first takes us to a dinner party where Roger not only has dinner cooked by Danny Kaye, he also gets into a discussion about the true meaning of the word "amateur" with dance legend Mikhail Baryshnikov. Roger then tells us about Robert Redford and how the Sundance Film Festival grew from an outgrowth of the Sundance Institute to a place where studios now go to make deals worth millions. Roger also tells us what Redford would think of the festival now.

    So, who is Roger Smith? He testified at the Menendez trial. He got hit on by Grace Kelly. He worked with Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Orson Welles, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Steven Spielberg, Gerald Ford, George Soros and Beverly Sills. He said opera needs subtitles. And Michael Eisner was heard to say... "Who the F*&% is Roger Smith?" Roger Smith. No, not the one married to Ann Margaret and not the one Michael Moore chased from General Motors. The OTHER one. Writer, marketing whiz, editor, entrepreneur. This Roger Smith sat down with PBS film critic and NPR radio host Bill McCuddy who asks So, who the F _is_ Roger Smith? "My real goal was to have an interesting life surrounded by fascinating people," says Roger Smith. "And at that I succeeded beyond my expectations." Have a listen and we think you'll agree.
