"American Masters" (1983)

WORDS AND MUSIC BY JERRY HERMAN chronicles the life and career of one of the American Musical Theater's iconic figures: the composer and lyricist of the hit shows "Hello, Dolly!", "Mame" and "La Cage aux Folles", among others. Jerry and an all-star cast including Carol Channing, Angela Lansbury, Charles Nelson Reilly, and Michael Feinstein chart his rise from 1950s off-Broadway through all of his smash Broadway hits. Featuring never-before-seen stills and archival footage from the original shows, and, of course, a terrific Jerry Herman score.

This tribute to America's favorite chef features the documentary Julia Child: America's Favorite Chef, originally made for the PBS documentary showcase American Masters, plus 12 episodes of her PBS cooking show The French Chef!.
