70 Years in Hollywood; Patty McCormack on The Master, Sopranos and more

Описание: What does it take to survive 70 years in Hollywood — from child star to Oscar film?

Actress Patty McCormack sits down with FilmsGoneWild.com Editor-in-Chief John Wildman to reflect on a career that spans Wagon Train (1958) to P.T. Anderson's The Master, five episodes of The Sopranos, and her latest role in the short film Stop Time.

Patty opens up about growing up on camera during the studio system era, navigating the tricky transition from child actress to adult roles, what it was really like on the set of The Master with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix, and Amy Adams — including the sweet secret Amy whispered in her ear mid-scene — and why self-tape auditions might be the biggest scam in the modern industry.

A candid, hilarious, and deeply insightful conversation with one of Hollywood's most enduring working actors.
