Raised between the glamour of Hollywood and the grit of Manhattan, Dunne’s world was filled with icons: his father, celebrated writer Dominick Dunne; his aunt, legendary Joan Didion; and his best friend, the inimitable Carrie Fisher. From this star-studded circle, he carved out his own career in film, all while navigating family triumphs and devastating loss. 

With wit, candour and irresistible storytelling, Dunne reflects on fame, resilience and a life lived at the centre of cultural history. 

Join Jo Trilling (ABC Radio Perth Afternoons) as she sits down with Griffin Dunne to uncover the behind-the-scenes tales of glamour and grit that defined his extraordinary career at the heart of Hollywood and literary legend.
