In this special episode of Ojai Talk of the Town, we sit down with the luminous Kitty Winn — award-winning actor, devoted mother, and granddaughter of Gen. George C. Marshall — to trace a remarkable life lived on her own terms.
After winning Best Actress at Cannes for her raw, unforgettable performance in The Panic in Needle Park alongside Al Pacino, and stepping into horror history as Sharon in The Exorcist, Kitty stepped away from the spotlight to raise her family.
Now a cherished member of the Ojai community, Kitty shares stories from her family’s extraordinary legacy, including her grandmother’s rebellious stint with a traveling Shakespeare troupe in the early 1900s. We explore Kitty’s deep commitment to nurturing young artists through the Ojai Film Society’s Student Film Contest, her thoughts on acting, legacy, and why she’s chosen to make Ojai her stage today.
We talked about Kitty's early years in India with her military father, Gen. Marshall's challenges in both World Wars, his post-war importance and much more. We did not talk about Instagram flexibility gurus, Brad Pitt in Formula One or Edward Gibbon's Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire.
It’s a graceful, insightful conversation with a woman who continues to inspire — quietly, steadily, and with uncommon elegance. You can read more about this remarkable woman in Mark Lewis' story in the Ojai Quarterly archives at https://www.ojaihub.com/winns-circle/
