Hours with Griffin Dunne

“After Hours” was a movie I watched obsessively when I was just embarking on adulthood; its surreal night life helped motivate me to move to New York. Joey Soloway described the film to me as a “heroine’s journey” when I interviewed him for my Hollywood Reporter story on the film’s star, Griffin Dunne. I did feel a little like Alice running around the wonderland of my old East Village hood with Dunne. We even fell down a rabbit hole into a ‘90s flat. Son of Dominick and Lenny Dunne, nephew of John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion, Grif is well versed in the art of story telling, as is evident in his memoir, “The Friday Afternoon Club”. But the crazy tales of growing up in Hollywood crash into the brutal reality of his sister Dominique’s murder. His powerful book and my article publish today.
