Nixon, Lennon, Fonda, Ali: How David Frost Booked, Charmed, Probed World’s Biggest Newsmakers & Stars – Doc Talk Podcast
'Doc Talk' podcast about 'David Frost Vs,' the MSNBC docuseries about how Frost booked, charmed and probed world’s top newsmakers including Nixon, Lennon & Ali.
That encounter became the basis for the 2006 play Frost/Nixon, written by Peter Morgan ( The Crown), and two years later a film directed by Ron Howard, starring Frank Langella as Nixon and Michael Sheen as Frost. And he shares behind-the-scenes stories from David Frost’s conversations with Lennon, Ono, Nixon and more, along with details on his dad’s relationship with actress and singer Diahann Carroll (they were engaged for three years in the early 1970s). Wilfred explains how, in his dad’s first conversation with the boxing legend, he managed to challenge the heavyweight champion on a contentious point regarding race relations without destroying their budding relationship.
