So I was recently reading James Lipton’s autobiography, Inside Inside. In remembering his late friend George Plimpton, who died in September 2003, he mentioned discussing Plimpton with Charlie Rose. I had missed that show back in 2003, so I was happy to find it online. Here it is.

As described by Google Video:

First, a conversation in remembrance of American journalist, novelist and editor George Plimpton, with James Lipton of “Inside the Actor’s Studio”, Robert Silvers of “The New York Review of Books”, and Lewis Lapham of “Harper’s Magazine”. Then, a conversation with Terry McDonell of “Sports Illustrated”, David Remnick of “The New Yorker”, and restaurateur Elaine Kaufman, in remembrance of George Plimpton. Then, a conversation with former Republican Congressman Felix Grucci of New York about his collaboration with George Plimpton. Finally, a conversation with Jay McCulloch, friend and former colleague of George Plimpton, about Plimpton’s work as editor of “The Paris Review”.
