Patti Smith
The “godmother of punk” started out in 1970s New York. But in “Dream of Life,” a POV documentary that aired on PBS and that’s up for an Emmy this weekend, Patti Smith shows sides of herself that the public rarely gets to see. Smith tells Kurt that it’s also an account of how she rebuilt her life after losing several loved ones.
