One Night, One Heart 2007

5. On Top of the World
Special Guest: Nancy Drew Horan
Hosts: Lorna Meyer & Dennis Calas
Dinner at the Hamon Tower of the de Young Museum by: Bon Appetit

Held in the most architecturally striking new building in San Francisco - the Hamon Tower of the new de Young Museum - the Special Guest, Nancy Drew Horan, is particularly well-suited to discuss the private life of one of America's most noted architects from the perspective of the fascinating woman who changed both their lives. The subject of her new best-selling book, Loving Frank, is the real-life scandalous affair between Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Cheney in the early 1910s. Mamah and her husband, Edwin, had commissioned the renowned architect to design a new home for them. During the construction of the house, a powerful attraction developed between Mamah and Frank, and in time, the lovers - each married with children - embarked on a course that shocked Chicago society and forever changed their lives. Explore the themes of love, desire, denial, creativity, personal freedom, and responsibility - and how our decisions in any of these areas defines how we live, who we are, and what impact we leave behind.
