Steven Goldman

Escaping NY in his 20s, Steve started working in the UK with a comedic essay he slipped under the door at The Sunday Times. Apparently, it wasn’t half bad. Over the years, he's had the pleasure of interviewing Jane Birkin at a sewage treatment plant in the South of France, discussing Andrei Tarkovsky with Woody Allen in Chinatown while staring at his shoes (brown), and not getting thumped by Harvey Weinstein over lunch. He's been embedded with a film crew in a Panamanian rainforest, watched a surgeon give a man breast implants, and attended more press conferences than he would care to remember (or admit). Along the way, Steven has written two pretty cool cartoons (voiced by Tim Curry & Lynn Redgrave) based on the Eloise books by Kay Thompson and Hilar Knight. He teaches sea kayaking (at UCLA), has completed two circumnavigations of Manhattan (we made up), co-led two open-sea crossings to Catalina, and, most recently, joined a small group of volunteers banding hummingbirds in southeastern Arizona.
