Have a cocktail with Illeana after the book signing event.

Actor, Author and Filmmaker, Illeana Douglas, will be our special guest at this year's 25th annual Black Bear Film Festival. The granddaughter of two-time Oscar-winning actor Melvyn Douglas, Illeana has excelled in movies (CAPE FEAR, TO DIE FOR), on television (SEINFELD, SIX FEET UNDER), and in print (I BLAME DENNIS HOPPER). Her latest book is CONNECTICUT IN THE MOVIES: FROM DREAM HOUSES TO DARK SUBURBIA.

Black Bear will screen MR. BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE (1948), which not only costars Illeana's grandfather (alongside Cary Grant and Myrna Loy), but it is one of the films featured in her book.

After the film, she will be interviewed onstage by local author/film historian, John DiLeo, which will be followed by a book signing for CONNECTICUT IN THE MOVIES in our hospitality tent.

Saturday afternoon, October 19, time of event to be announced.
