Recanati-Kaplan Talks

Maureen Dowd in Conversation with Christine Baranski: Notorious

Mar 10, 2025

Join Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd as she discusses a captivating assortment of her most compelling style features and profiles from new book Notorious, a sly and chatty collection of some of her most notorious celebrity profile. Using her signature wit and incisive commentary as a scalpel, Dowd shines a white-hot spotlight on America’s famous, from Hollywood legends to Broadway stars to media moguls dissecting influential cultural elites, including:

  • Leading Hollywood women from Uma Thurman to Jane Fonda to Greta Gerwig
  • Silver screen foxes such as Paul Newman, Idris Elba, and Ralph Fiennes
  • Funny people like Tina Fey, Mel Brooks, and Larry David
  • Fashionistas from Andre Leon Talley to Ann Roth to Tom Ford
  • And hubristic media and tech titans like Elon Musk, Bob Iger, and Peter Thiel

Join her for a perfect antidote to our current political malaise and an intimate, gossipy romp through the culture of celebrity from a legend in American journalism.
