Actor, activist and filmmaker Rosanna Arquette joined host Kenneth Womack to talk about her Bohemian upbringing, favorite Beatles song, friendship with Paul McCartney and much more on “Everything Fab Four,” a podcast co-produced by me and Womack (a music scholar who also writes about pop music for Salon) and distributed by Salon.
Arquette, known for such films as “Pulp Fiction,” “After Hours” and “Desperately Seeking Susan,” is a member of the famous show business family sharing the same name (along with siblings Richmond, Patricia, Alexis and David). As she told Womack, they were brought up by a “poet and actress” mother and “actor and musician” father. “We lived a very unconventional life,” she said. “Abbie Hoffman once slept on our living room floor.” She even met Dr. Martin Luther King when she was only six years old, since her mother was also a social activist.
