Griffin Dunne: Coming of Age in Hollywood

Griffin Dunne grew up in the heart of Tinseltown amongst the biggest and soon-to-be biggest names of film, television and literature.

After a decades-long career making movies including classics After Hours and Practical Magic, Griffin considers his upbringing as the child of writer and producer Dominick Dunne and activist Ellen Griffin and the nephew of writers John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion. On the surface, his latest book The Friday Afternoon Club: A Family Memoir is a who’s who of pop culture royalty but underneath the glitter is a poignant recollection of a family full of love and laughter. 

Reminisce with Griffin in conversation with Benjamin Law.
