Griffin Dunne: The Friday Afternoon Club

Step inside the captivating life of Griffin Dunne as he shares tales of his storied Hollywood family and the glittering, complicated stars in his orbit – from writer Joan Didion to actor Carrie Fisher.   

Join actor, producer and director Griffin Dunne as he discusses his dazzling memoir, The Friday Afternoon Club – an exploration of what it means to come from a family of storytellers and secret-keepers while building a career in Hollywood.     

Growing up between Tinseltown and Manhattan, Dunne had an upbringing like none other. His father was the novelist and journalist Dominick Dunne. His best friend was Carrie Fisher. And then there was his aunt, Joan Didion.     

Dunne sits down to discuss his star-studded childhood, his decades-spanning Hollywood career, and the glamour and tragedy of his larger-than-life family, in conversation with Tim Byrne.
