Clips
Libby Slate’s writing career has taken her from Fargo to France, Japan to Jersey. She has sat down to chat with hundreds of showbiz luminaries, from Moses (Charlton Heston) to Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews); skated with Brian Boitano; appeared on Broadway – okay, so it was after the show and the theater was empty, but Broadway nevertheless – and has been inspired by the courage and fortitude of people who are battling life-threatening conditions, learning to read for the first time at age 30 or working to make the world better for others.
Below are selected clips that are equally wide-ranging. Please enjoy some of Libby’s photography as you peruse her portfolio.
