'Willa Cather' airs nationally on PBS
She had riveting blue eyes and a deep voice. She smoked cigarettes and talked tough. And she wrote unforgettable fiction.
A new biography of Willa Cather, one of America's greatest writers, tells the story of a woman who invented herself from scratch.
NET Television co-produced "Willa Cather: The Road Is All" with Thirteen/WNET New York for national broadcast as part of the acclaimed PBS series "American Masters." The 90-minute documentary airs nationally and on NET1 (and in high-definition on NET-HD), Sept. 7, at 8 p.m. The program repeats on NET1 at 9:30 p.m. that evening and on Sept. 8, at 9 p.m. and Sept. 11, at 1 p.m.
It can also be viewed on NET2 on Sept. 8, at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., and on Sept. 10, at 8:30 p.m.
Members of the NET crew spent four seasons filming scenes from Cather's life and from her books. They taped in Red Cloud where Cather grew up; in Lincoln; at the Spring Creek prairie in Denton; in Grand Island at the Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer; in New York City where she lived for many years; and in Santa Fe and Taos, N.M., for scenes from "Death Comes for the Archbishop."
