Summary
Entertainment expert Neal Gabler on this edition of Fresh Air. His new book is Walt Disney: The Triumph of American Imagination. Gabler was given complete access to the Disney archives to write a biography that begins when Disney was just a twinkle in his father's eye and ends at the entrance to the Walt Disney mausoleum. Gabler is also the author of An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood and Winchell: Gossip, Power, and the Culture of Celebrity. Gabler is a senior fellow at the Norman Lear Center for the Study of Entertainment and Society in the Annenberg School for Communications at the University of Southern California. Then, rock historian Ed Ward pays tribute to Floyd Dixon, a pioneering rhythm & blues singer and piano player who died this summer at age 77. Lastly, TV critic David Bianculli reviews a new episode of the popular British crime series Cracker. The program was originally produced in the 1990s, and Robbie Coltrane returns to star as Edward Fitzgerald, an abrasive criminal psychologist. Tonight's two hour show, Cracker: A New Terror, airs at 9PM on BBC America.
