This is event is part of the James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Distinguished Speaker Series. Maureen Dowd has been a New York Times columnist since 1995, winning a Pulitzer Prize in 1999 for her columns on the impact of President Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky. Although she mostly focuses on presidential politics, Dowd often profiles Hollywood movie stars, Silicon Valley executives and business titans. These delicious, gossipy, funny profiles are now collected in her new book, “Notorious: Portraits of Stars from Hollywood, Culture, Fashion, and Tech.” Here & Now co-host Robin Young joined Dowd to discuss the book and some of her most popular celebrity profiles.
