Summary
Food and lifestyle megacelebrity Martha Stewart was the country’s first female self-made billionaire when her media empire Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia went public in 1999. Since then, her fortunes have fluctuated, reaching a low point in 2004 when she was sentenced to five months in prison for lying to prosecutors about a stock trade. R.J. Cutler got unprecedented access to Stewart for his documentary “Martha,” which is now streaming on Netflix. We’ll talk to Cutler about the making of the film and what Stewart taught him about the exercise of power. And we’ll hear from you: how has Martha Stewart influenced you?
