Film director MILOS FORMAN (ME-losh For-man). He co-produced with Oliver Stone the new film "The People vs Larry Flynt." In this interview Forman talks about his own experiences with censorship. He is originally from Czechoslovakia and began his film career in his native country, apprenticing with some of the country's best film makers for the Communist state-controlled film industry. He was part of the Czech New Wave cinema with films such as "Black Peter," "Loves of a Blonde," and "Fireman's Ball." FORMAN was orphaned during World War II; both his parents were seized by the Gestapo. Then he lived under Communism. FORMAN is the director of such American films as "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," "Amadeus," "Hair," and "Ragtime." FORMAN wrote a memoir in 1994 called "Turnaround," (written with Jan Novak, published by Villard Books). This interview orginally aired 4/4/94.
