At Philbrook: Amy Wells, a Hollywood Set Decorator Who Worked on Seasons 1 through 3 of "Mad Men"

Aired Thursday, May 17th.
Aired Thursday, May 17th.

On this edition of ST, we welcome Amy Wells, a Hollywood-based set decorator who's worked on several outstanding films and TV series over the years, among them the television programs "House," "Love Field," and "Mad Men," as well as the motion pictures "Clueless," "There Will Be Blood," and "A Single Man." Wells will speak this evening (Thursday the 17th) at 7pm at the Philbrook Museum of Art; her appearance is a part of the museum's ongoing "Third Thursday" series. She'll mainly be talking about her equally exciting and interesting work as a set decorator on AMC's "Mad Men" --- a popular and critically acclaimed show that's routinely praised as much for its costumes, props, and sets as for its writing, acting, and directing. (Indeed, there is surely no other program currently on American TV that's been more celebrated for its "look.") Wells worked on "Mad Men" during the show's first three seasons. For more information, please see this page at the Philbrook website.

Rich Fisher passed through KWGS about thirty years ago, and just never left. Today, he is the general manager of Public Radio Tulsa, and the host of KWGS’s public affairs program, StudioTulsa, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in August 2012 . As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government. Very few interviews have gone smoothly. Despite this, he has been honored for his work by several organizations including the Governor's Arts Award for Media by the State Arts Council, a Harwelden Award from the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, and was named one of the “99 Great Things About Oklahoma” in 2000 by Oklahoma Today magazine.
