Ron Hutchinson: From Islandmagee to Hollywood

Available for over a year

The Emmy Award winning Hollywood scriptwriter Ron Hutchinson grew up in Islandmagee and went on to work with the likes of Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor and Samuel L Jackson. In this interview he reveals the truth about working with the likes of Brando, how growing up in rural County Antrim and hearing stories about the Larne gun-running inspired him as a writer and how an IRA bomb in Coventry changed his career path forever. His new book 'Clinging to the Iceberg: Writing for a Living on the Stage and in Hollywood' is published by Oberon and will be out next month.
