This week we interview Marsha Gordon, author, professor, and director of Film Studies at North Carolina State University. Gordon’s latest book, Becoming the Ex-Wife: The Unconventional Life & Forgotten Writings of Ursula Parrott, was published by the University of California Press in April 2023. Gordon is a former National Humanities Center Fellow and an NEH Public Scholar. Her other books include Film is Like a Battleground: Sam Fuller’s War Movies, and Hollywood Ambitions: Celebrity in the Movie Age. Gordon has co-directed three documentary shorts, and she recently received a 2024 Bogliasco Foundation Fellowship to work on her newest documentary about the visual artist Alexander Bogardy. Marsha Gordon was interviewed by fellow biographer and BIO member Debby Applegate.
