Marcia talked about her life as a single mom in NYC, to working on films at United Artists such as Rocky, Carrie, Apocalypse Now, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. She was also at Johnny Carson's production company, and produced Hamburger Hill and The Big Chill which garnered three Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress (Glenn Close) and Best Screenplay.
