Sunday, November 20

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof will be introduced by film historian Donald Bogle, author of the new book Elizabeth and Michael: The Queen of Hollywood and the King of Pop — A Love Story (published by Atria Books), hailed recently by columnist Liz Smith as “surprisingly comprehensive, sensitive and entertaining.” Following the screening, Mr. Bogle will sign copies of his book (available for sale at Film Forum’s concession) in our lobby.

Donald Bogle is an award-winning film historian and author whose very first book, Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies and Bucks: An Interpretative History of Blacks in Films, recently came out in a revised, updated “21st century edition” from Bloomsbury. Mr. Bogle has published many works on African-American representation in popular culture, including Brown Sugar: Eighty Years of America’s Black Female Superstars; Blacks in American Film and Television: An Illustrated Encyclopedia; Primetime Blues: African Americans on Network Television; Bright Boulevards, Bold Dreams: The Story of Black Hollywood; Heat Wave: The Life and Career of Ethel Waters; and Dorothy Dandridge: A Biography, the definitive biography of the African-American icon.

Mr. Bogle is an instructor at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and the University of Pennsylvania.
