- MLVC speaks with director, producer and writer Susan Seidelman! After her breakout film Smithereens landed her at the Cannes Film Festival, Susan's follow-up film was directing Madonna & Rosanna Arquette in the 1985 hit film "Desperately Seeking Susan." And since that movie, Susan went on to direct many films and tv shows and now she's published a memoir titled "Desperately Seeking Something" from MacMillan Publishing, which chronicles leaving her life in Huntingdon Valley, PA for the film industry in NYC. Hear all about her life and her new book in this fantastic interview!

Susan for president!!!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Absolutely love Desperately Seeking Susan. One of my favorite movies. Thank you for this podcast; really enjoyed watching this.
Wow thanks MlVC!!!! I realized that Madonna works at the beginning of her with 2 young women that were alone in men’s world: Susan S. and Mary Lambert!!! And Madonna was also alone in a men’s world😍have you interviewed Mary Lambert at MLVC ?
This was such a cool ep! ❤
Great interview. Such a lovely woman. I’ve preordered her book.
15 minutes in and I have to say, Susan is just wonderful. Ok, I keep watching :)
Update: She is great and you did a great interview. Gonna re- watch Desperately seeking Susan and trying to watch some other films of her. Kisses from Berlin
Susan ur a super star !!!!
Such a delightful interview! It would be so cool if she directed the Madonna biopic!
I didnt realize she used Thomas Newman for the sound.
American Beatuty alone gives me chills.
Great interview guys! I can’t wait to read the book.
Btw Stefan, I knew you were in Philly, but had no idea that like you and Susan, I also hail from Huntingdon Valley/Rydal/Abington Township (Rydal ES/Abington HS Co89) and spent much of my childhood at the HV Shopping Center, a 20 minute walk from my house. The bookstore you mentioned was called Global Books, and I’m (sadly) old enough to remember the Woolworth’s Susan mentioned. Attended numerous birthday parties at Del Ennis Lanes as well. Small world!
What a cool woman 😎
Roberta gets arrested as a prostitute after her first magic show. She is placed in the back of the police vehicle where there is a black prostitute already in custody. The prostitute looks at Roberta and then at the two cages with the birds and asks "SO HOW DO YOU USE THE BIRDS?" To which Roberta does not answer leaving the prostitute to shake her head and then look out the window.
Cigarette Girl: Susan!
Susan: Hi.
Cigarette Girl: My God, we all thought you were dead!
Susan: No, just in New Jersey.
(Cigarette Girl played Ann Magnuson)
Leslie: I can't believe the two of you are eating in the middle of a crisis like this.
Gary: We're nervous, what do you want...
Leslie: Then take a Valium like a normal person!
Susan gets captured by the greaseball and he forcing her through one of the windows of the Magic Clubs dressing room windows. Susan mouthing to Roberta "HELP ME!" Roberta smashes bottle over greaseball's head. Susan to Roberta "GOOD GOING STRANGER."
Great interview ❤
I started listening on Podcast Addict and the music kept playing in the background; it was really distracting. This is much better.
Can we get a full episode devoted to She-Devil next? 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I don't think so, Roseanne allegedly hated the movie even though we get to see A Martinez in a skimpy speedo.
Exactly. They didn't really talk about it, and it's one of my favorite movies.
@@SomeGuy-mg5jysame! Loveeeee She Devil… it’s basically an edgier first wives club!
I loved this interview but I hate to be a downer but was a little disappointed.
I have not read her book and I realize she was plugging it....but I kept hoping for questions from you guys like:
1. What did you think of Madonna when you first met her.
2.Did you or studio make her Audition?
3.Did you have to fight the studio to cast Madonna who was a no name at that time.
4. Do you keep in touch with Madonna?
Thx for interview!
She has talked about all that in other interviews.
