Jeanne Beker's Obsession with Style
For more than two decades, FashionTelevision had people all over the world obsessed with host Jeanne Beker's compelling interviews with top designers and supermodels, her intel about what goes on behind-the-scenes at runway shows around the world, and what was in and out of style. Before that, her interviews with the hottest musicians on The NewMusic made for some of the most talked about TV moments, from Iggy Pop to Keith Richards, Paul McCartney and Madonna. Both shows were ground-breaking in the 1980s and '90s. In her new memoir, "Heart on My Sleeve," Beker talks about her early influences, highlights some of her more memorable interviews, and poignantly discusses her recent experience with cancer.
