The movie “House of Gucci” is off to an impressive start at the box office, taking in more than $33 million in North America in the two weeks since its release. It's based on a book written by Sara Gay Forden, the guest on the latest Update-1 podcast. Forden talks with Broadcast/Podcast team member Gemma Puglisi about the challenges of writing her book, “The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed.” Forden recounts living in Italy and covering the Italian fashion industry, and how Maurizio Gucci, the grandson of the company's founder who was brutally murdered in 1995, drew her to “write the story.” She also discusses how the book became a movie, the excitement of meeting members of the cast and the need for good content.
