Jewish parents, the war, the German occupation, the round up of Jews, the risk of being sent to a concentration camp, and the author's exile to a small village in the center of France.
The young man's return to a newly liberated Paris, an addiction to poker, private Latin lessons with Einstein's best friend... his unusual tour of duty during the Algerian War... his tryst with a painter who encourages him to emigrate to America.
Early years in New York City bohemia, honing his skills at Lee Strasberg's Actors Studio, a poetry recital tour in major US universities... an affair with a black jazz singer and coping with the hardships of miscegenation.
He co-hosts a popular hit parade show with one of WMCA's Good Guys before becoming a foreign correspondent, covering the Cold War, the Johnson-Kosygin summit meeting, the race riots, the Apollo flights, the tumultuous conventions in Chicago and Miami where he is beaten and left for dead in the ghetto.
Brando, Sinatra, Fitzgerald, Bardot, Sammy Davis Jr., Dali, Rockefeller, de Gaulle, RFK, are some of the people he interviews, sometimes befriends, as a journalist.
This is the story of a man lucky enough to have had an orchestra seat to the major historical events that shaped the second part of the twentieth century.
Born at the American Hopsital in 1937, he studied drama at the Paris Conservatory and was chosen by Jean-Louis Barrault to become a member of the Renaud-Barrault Theater Company. In 1962, he decided to immigtrate to the United States.
In New York, he attended Lee Starsberg's Actors Studio, performed a French poetry recital for American universities coast-to-coast, taught French to American French teachers at the University of Kentucky, DJed a radio Hit Parade show that he co-hosted with WMCA's Joe O'Brien and, in the mid sixties, turned to journalism.
As foreign correspondent for two major European media outfits, he covered the United States in the sixties, the hippy phenomenon, the cold war, the Johnson-Kosypin meeting, most of the major race riots, two Conventions and the Apollo space flights.
In the early seventies, he assumed the position of public relations for Air France and in 1979, became the director of Sygma-USA, then one of the two leading photo-news agencies in the world.
A year later, Daniel started his own New York-based production company, producing, directing and writing more than 150 documentaries, corporate videos and travel films.
