Famous Last Words is a long-form interview show where subjects agree that the interview won't be released until after their death. Previous episodes have featured Jane Goodall and Eric Dane.
"Gloria Steinem was the steady heartbeat of a revolution," Falchuk stated, "but in this room, she was a woman reflecting on the simple, profound beauty of human connection." He continued, "She spoke about the intersection of race, gender, and peace with a wisdom that only comes from a lifetime on the front lines. Even in her final moments, she was organizing us, challenging us to keep moving forward."
Steinem began her career as a journalist, earning renown for a 1963 story where she went undercover at a Playboy Club working as a bunny. She co-founded the National Women's Political Caucus in 1971 and Ms. the following year, leading the first mainstream magazine with an expressly feminist point of view. She continued to advocate for women’s rights and other causes throughout her life.
Famous Last Words is based on a Danish series, Det Sidste Ord (which translates to “The Last Word”). Falchuk and Mikkel Bondesen executive produce via Brad Falchuk Teley-Vision along with Banijay Entertainment’s BSNA, David Goldberg.
