Description
Cynthia Bemis Abrams welcomes art historian, professor and author Emily L. Newman to this focused discussion on cable's growth and capacity. Newman has written about the niche program content aimed at women, including the made-for-TV movie genre on eating disorders. The pair share insights into the milestone movies and headlines of the 80s, 90s and recent years that contained bulimia and anorexia as plot lines, and how they lined up with the real life influences of Cathy Rigby, Tracey Gold, Meredith Baxter and Karen Carpenter.
