Illeana Douglas is an Emmy-nominated actress, writer, producer and director. She is known for playing fearless and outspoken characters in films like Goodfellas, Cape Fear, To Die For, Grace of My Heart, Picture Perfect, Stir of Echoes, and Ghost World, and on TV in The Larry Sanders Show, Action, Six Feet Under, Entourage, Welcome to Sweden, Shrill, and Goliath.

Palm Springs Women in Film & Television has invited Illeana to speak, including insights on her new book, Connecticut in the Movies. She has long been known for shining new light on forgotten films, and now the celebrated actress and film historian turns her focus to a heretofore unrecognized brand: the Connecticut movie.

Illeana takes the reader on a cinematic road trip through Hollywood history and Connecticut geography, bringing the breezy, intimate, knowledgeable writing style acclaimed by reviewers of her first book, I Blame Dennis Hopper (2015).
