Filmaker Francis Ford Coppola on Tavis Smiley (PBS)

If you have a little time before you catch that midnight Transformer's show on tonight, tune into PBS with Tavis Smiley as he sits and talks with legendary Francis Ford Coppola!!

Having directed some of the most successful and critically acclaimed movies in film history, Francis Ford Coppola is considered one of the greats. He's among an elite group of directors who have won Best Picture, Director and Screenplay Oscars for the same film (The Godfather: Part II). From a show business family, he first gained international attention for his screenwriting and has exec-produced films and TV series. Coppola is a vintner, magazine publisher and has his own specialty food line. Next up for him is the drama Tetro.

This guy is one of the best, but my favorite by him is definitely Godfather-that's a fine piece of directing work. I'm gonna try and catch him on PBS.
