Martha Stewart on Why She Chose to Work With ‘Martha’ Filmmaker R.J. Cutler: ‘I Didn’t Want Some Namby-Pamby, Ralph Lauren Documentary’
'I didn't want some namby-pamby, Ralph Lauren documentary,' Martha Stewart declared Monday night as she and filmmaker R.J. Cutler sat for an FYC Q&A.
Stewart was responding to a question from moderator Dave Karger, a host of TCM, as to why she chose Cutler as the person to tell her life story in a feature documentary. But she referred to the 2019 docu “Very Ralph” as something that Lauren “masterminded.” Cutler, on the other hand, had final cut on “Martha,” which premiered Oct. 30 on the streamer. She acknowledged that there were aspects of her life that should have been amplified more — including the scale of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia at its early 2000s peak — but she also conceded to Cutler’s authority as the filmmaker.
