Description

Here Roger explains how he wound up on the red carpet at the Oscars with a Playboy model as his date! He didn't even own a tux at the time but that didn't matter. Roger then tells us of his Army days in Germany during JFK's historical visit there and how the Germans' opinion of the president differed sharply with those of some of his fellow soldiers - a difference that resulted in fisticuffs. Roger also remembers when JFK visited during his days at Harvard and there's also a story about Roger meeting Jackie at a party and how she was "saved" by Norman Mailer of all people.

So, who is Roger Smith? He testified at the Menendez trial. He got hit on by Grace Kelly. He worked with Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Orson Welles, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Steven Spielberg, Gerald Ford, George Soros and Beverly Sills. He said opera needs subtitles. And Michael Eisner was heard to say... "Who the F*&% is Roger Smith?" Roger Smith. No, not the one married to Ann Margaret and not the one Michael Moore chased from General Motors. The OTHER one. Writer, marketing whiz, editor, entrepreneur. This Roger Smith sat down with PBS film critic and NPR radio host Bill McCuddy who asks So, who the F _is_ Roger Smith? "My real goal was to have an interesting life surrounded by fascinating people," says Roger Smith. "And at that I succeeded beyond my expectations." Have a listen and we think you'll agree.
