Abstract
Lewis Archibald, a journalist who wrote for the magazine "Downtown," interviews Beau Bridges, American actor and director. Bridges talks about his acting career, and the roles he played in various productions in the 1970's-1980's such as the role of Sonny in the 1979 film "Norma Rae"; and Connie Kalitta in the 1983 "Heart like a wheel," the 1983 biographical film directed by Jonathan Kaplan and based on the life of drag racing driver Shirley Muldowney, that was recently released; and others. He shares his experience working with his father, Lloyd Bridges, and his younger brother, Jeff Bridges, both well known actors. He also discusses his personal and professional relationships with various film directors, and explains acting techniques he uses for different scenes in the films and TV productions.
