Winter 2013 Volume 109 Issue 1

The Mistress of Masterpiece

The 2013 AAVC Award for Distinguished Achievement recipient—executive producer of PBS’s Masterpiece, Rebecca Eaton ’69—has won 65 Primetime Emmy Awards and has even been named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II. But the wildly popular Downton Abbey, a series created by Carnival Films and co-produced with Masterpiece, may be her crowning achievement.

Art: A Love Affair

For Maryann Kallison Friedman ’55 and her husband, Al, a Vassar College Art Gallery lecture on Hudson River School painters inspired a collection that has enhanced their lives for three decades.

From Mississippi to Vassar

Associate Professor of English and Africana Studies Kiese Laymon writes to honor the black Southern writing tradition and teaches to open minds.
