Tonight on the Front Porch, we're looking at Russians in Hollywood, going back to the early days of film history. We’re going to look at the ways Russians have been portrayed on American screens, before, during and after the Cold War, and we’ll trace the origins of some of the eastern Europeans who helped make Hollywood what it is today.

We'll talk with Harlow Robinson, author of the new book Russians in Hollywood, Hollywood's Russians: Biography of an Image.
