Patt Morrison Asks: Inside guy, Buck Henry
![Buck Henry arguably made his showbiz debut at the age of 2, when his mother, the silent film star Ruth Taylor, took him to the Paramount lot to show him off. She denied then that she wanted him to go into movies. Sorry, Mom. Henry has become a polymath of directing, acting, and for my money, especially writing -- "The Graduate"; "Catch-22"; that fine dark comedy of manners, "To Die For"; TV's "Get Smart," with Mel Brooks; and a generation later, the seminal "Saturday Night Live" -- which he hosted for a then-record-setting 10 times. He beavers away on screenplays, plays and sundry prose; I pestered him into a lunch interview in West Hollywood. It was engagingly packed, with talk of the pleasures of "Hamlet" in German and a Hollywood/not Hollywood commentary on passing paraders, delivered with spare humor as dry as the natron used to stuff mummies. Hey -- isn't there a script in there somewhere?](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/column/2011-08/63781128-05175552.jpg "Buck Henry arguably made his showbiz debut at the age of 2, when his mother, the silent film star Ruth Taylor, took him to the Paramount lot to show him off.

Classically Trained: A symphonic odyssey into space

My adolescent reasoning was simple: "Star Wars" is great, so any related films must be great, too. Right? So in the pre-Netflix and...Tags: Music Industry, Blockbuster, Star Wars (movie), Richard Strauss, Halloween
