Star-making, Bathtub, Stunt Double

Studio 360

We soak in the design of a popular household luxury — the bathtub. Kurt Andersen and record label executive Danny Goldberg explore the intricate machinery of star-making, and we meet the creative workers that help the stars shine. Pianists talk about the joys and frustrations of accompanying, and we visit a factory where the assembly line workers make art. Plus, we hurtle toward the earth with a Hollywood stunt double.
