BPS 382: The Way of the Creative Filmmaker with Jocelyn Jones

Jocelyn Jones was raised in an artist's community on the Hudson
River just 30 minutes north of Manhattan. This idyllic hamlet is
home to some of the most influential artists of our time and it was
here that her interest in art, artists and their process began.She
is the daughter of Henry Jones, a character actor whose credits
include some 40 films and over 300 televisions shows. Mr. Jones
started out as a Broadway actor, most known for "The Bad Seed",
"Advise And Consent" and his Tony Award-winning performance in
"Sunrise at Campobello". Ms. Jones began her career at the age of

delightfully insane Violet in George M. Cohan's farce "The Tavern"
and as Constance Wicksteed, a spinster with a passion for large
