Before They Were Stars: Rene Russo is Interviewed Alongside Her Acting Teacher in 1980

In 1980, Rene Russo had a successful career as a professional model, but thought she might want to venture into the world of acting. She wound up being trained by Allan Rich, a veteran character actor who had actually been blacklisted during the McCarthy era, and they were interviewed together in this segment which was filmed for a brand-new 24-hour news channel called CNN. Good God, Russo has barely aged at all!
