Winchell [DVD] [DVD]

Winchell

He was the first of his kind, but certainly not the last. Walter Winchell dug up news where news had never been dug up before. He invaded the private worlds of the wealthy and told Mr. and Mrs. America everything he knew...or almost everything. Winchell could help his friends and hurt his enemies. He could make a star overnight or destroy one. Many pulled strings to stay in his favor - and many would fall when those strings were cut. For more than 30 years, Winchell ruled the newspaper and radio waves with his groundbreaking brand of gossip and news. From young starlets to aging businessmen, from Adolf Hitler to Joseph McCarthy, from presidents to purse-snatchers - you were either on this team, or you weren't even in the game. Now, in a Golden Globe(R) winning performance (for Best Actor in a miniseries or motion picture made for television), Stanley Tucci is Winchell. In a nation that loved gossip, Winchell loved gossip, and the nation couldn't help but love "Winchell". Subtitles: English (Closed Captioned). Languages: English and Spanish.
