CHARLIE ROSE: Robert Gottlieb is back. His publishing career spans
50 years. During that time has been editor in chief of Simon and Schuster,
Alfred A. Knopf, and "The New Yorker" magazine. He is, as you know, a
writer. His new book "Sarah -- the Life of Sarah Bernhardt" is the first
in Yale’s Jewish Lives series.
Bernhardt, also known as "The Divine Sarah," was once the most famous
actress in the world. I’m pleased to have Robert Gottlieb back at this
table. Welcome.
ROBERT GOTTLIEB: Charlie, thanks.
CHARLIE ROSE: What is this series about?
ROBERT GOTTLIEB: It is about Jewish lives, which is why it’s called
"Jewish Lives."
CHARLIE ROSE: But Yale initiated it?
ROBERT GOTTLIEB: Yes. A very benign person gave him a considerable
amount of money to launch this series and pay for it generously so that
they could hire sign on the writers it they wanted.
CHARLIE ROSE: And they signed on you to do this?
ROBERT GOTTLIEB: They did.
