Olympia Dukakis to Speak at Oglethorpe University

Atlanta – Olympia Dukakis, actress, producer, teacher, director and activist, will speak at Oglethorpe University’s Conant Performing Arts Center on July 28 at 7 p.m. to promote her new book “Ask Me Again Tomorrow” in which she reveals for the first time the toll her ethnicity took as she struggled to succeed as a first generation American, and the efforts it took for her to overcome those struggles and achieve fame and fortune in her professional calling. Dukakis won an Academy Award in the Best Supporting Actress category for her work in “Moonstruck” and is known for her straightforward talk, her lack of pretension and her ongoing quest to explore ever more aspects of herself and her art, no matter what her age.

Dukakis will be signing copies of her book after the discussion. Tickets to the event are $26 and must be paid in advance. The price includes the discussion and one copy of “Ask Me Again Tomorrow.” To reserve your seat, please call 770-452-1711, extension 112.

This event is hosted by Oglethorpe University and sponsored by Chapter 11 Bookstores.
