Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Barbara Moresco, Wife of Filmmaker, Bobby Moresco & Author, “From Hell’s Kitchen to the City of Angels: Devils and Angels”

About Harvey's guest:

Today’s special guest, Barbara Moresco, may not be famous, but she’s lived a life that could easily be the subject of a Hollywood movie, which makes a lot of sense, because she’s the wife of Academy Award winning filmmaker Bobby Moresco, who appeared on our show a few years ago. He’s best known for the blockbuster movies “Crash”, “Million Dollar Baby”, “Lamborghini”, and soon to be released, “Maserati: The Brothers”. She’s written a memoir entitled, “From Hell’s Kitchen to the City of Angels: Devils and Angels”, which chronicles her turbulent life growing up in the infamous neighbourhood of Manhattan from 38th Street to 56th Street between 9th and 12th Avenues, known as Hell’s Kitchen, also called the Westside. She grew up during the era of the notorious "Westies" mob, and through her book, we get to know a colourful and dramatic cast of characters from her family, Bobby’s family and a wide circle of friends, acquaintances and neighbourhood personalities who made life a continuous roller coaster. This is an entertaining and sometimes shocking book that takes us from the gritty streets of Manhattan to the Hollywood red carpet.
