Join us Tuesday, April 7, for a screening of the 1999 film “Cookie’s Fortune,” directed by Robert Altman. Texas A&M graduate, singer-songwriter and actor Lyle Lovett appeared in the film alongside Glenn Close, Julianne Moore, Patricia Neal, Charles S. Dutton, Liv Tyler, Courtney B. Vance, Chris O’Donnell and Ned Beatty.

Filmmaker Anne Rapp, who wrote the screenplay, will join Lovett and faculty members Daniel Humphrey and Aurore Spiers to discuss working with Altman, who was known for an improvisatory and collaborative working method on set.

Rapp also wrote the screenplay to Altman’s 2000 film “Dr. T and the Women,” which Lovett created music for, and she directed the documentary “Horton Foote: The Road to Home” (2020).

The screening and discussion is part of Lovett’s Hagler Fellow residency with the College of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts. It starts at 7 p.m. at Geren Auditorium in the Langford Architecture Center, Building B.
